Book Description
'Wayfinding: People, Signs and Architecture', has been reissued as a special, limited edition to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the original publication by McGraw-Hill and the death in 2001 of co-author Paul Arthur. Authors Paul Arthur and Romedi Passini coined the terms 'signage' and 'wayfinding', the use of pictograms, words, colours, and architecture to help people find their way quickly and easily in a built environment. The book has become a standard on the subject for graphic designers and architects world-wide. This attractive, hard cover collectors' edition contains several hundred illustrations.

Book Description
A new edition of the market-leading guide to signage and wayfinding design This new edition of Signage and Wayfinding Design: A Complete Guide to Creating Environmental Graphic Design Systems has been fully updated to offer you the latest, most comprehensive coverage of the environmental design process—from research and design development to project execution. Utilizing a cross-disciplinary approach that makes the information relevant to architects, interior designers, landscape architects, graphic designers, and industrial designers alike, the book arms you with the skills needed to apply a standard, proven design process to large and small projects in an efficient and systematic manner. Environmental graphic design is the development of a visually cohesive graphic communication system for a given site within the built environment. Increasingly recognized as a contributor to well-being, safety, and security, EGD also extends and reinforces the brand experience. Signage and Wayfinding Design provides you with Chris Calori's proven "Signage Pyramid" method, which makes solving complex design problems in a comprehensive signage program easier than ever before. Features full-color design throughout with 100+ new images from real-world projects Provides an in-depth view of design thinking applied to the EGD process Explains the holistic development of sign information, graphic, and hardware systems. Outlines the latest sign material, lighting, graphic application, and digital communication technologies Highlights code and updated ADA considerations If you're a design professional tasked with communicating meaningful information in the built environment, this vital resource has you covered.

Book Description
Showcases IMAGES' strong talent for mining design information from around the globeProvides a informative statements on contemporary wayfinding design principlesCovers projects that range from exterior public spaces, such as gardens and parklands, to the exteriors and interiors of offices, medical facilities, shopping malls and museums, among many othersShowcases a graphic and highly visual collection that is inspirational and is a strong reference for architects, graphic designers, landscape and interior designers, and all who are directly involved in the built environmentsFeatures rich, full-color photography of contemporary wayfinding systems designed by an eclectic international group of designersModern public space requires wayfinding information that can help users familiarize or adapt themselves in new building environments. Wayfinding systems designed to fulfill the essential functions of direction, notice or explanation often absorb creative designing elements. This book is an informative and systematic compilation of many updated design works for wayfinding by international designing studios, ranging across shopping malls, gardens, hospitals, schools, office buildings, museums, libraries, among others. And the wayfinding design works represented in this book originate from their application in various public spaces. This book is a great reference for graphic designers, architects, scholars, or students majored in the design disciplines.

Book Description
Stage 1 included a worldwide review identifying those wayfinding systems and technologies that could be used to make it easier and safer for people with a sensory impairment (and in particular a vision impairment) to find their way around buildings and large public spaces. The project reviewed systems that may be used in both buildings and other external public places with a focus on the technical nature of systems and technologies. The extent to which these systems could or should be required to be incorporated into buildings and other venues and how the Building Code of Australia and other related legislation should be amended to take these established systems into account, needs further investigation. The project made recommendations on how these technologies and systems may be incorporated, by law or otherwise, into Australias building and construction practice. Conclusions from this study were addressed as short, medium and longer term actions. The current project work in Stage 2 includes the evaluation of wayfinding systems/technology uncovered by Stage 1 and the writing of a specification for a system that is proposed for installation in Stage 3. Stage 3 involves the evaluation of implementation and testing of the selected wayfinding system at a site in Melbourne.

Book Description
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Conference on Spatial Information Theory, COSIT '99, held in Stade, Germany, in August 1999. The 30 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 70 submissions. The book is divided into topical sections on landmarks and navigation, route directions, abstraction and spatial hierarchies, spatial reasoning calculi, ontology of space, visual representation and reasoning, maps and routes, and granularity and qualitative abstraction.

Book Description
This book brings together, for the first time, expertise on all three of the elements which wayfinding is comprised: architecture; graphics; & verbal human interaction, within the context of the built environment. The authors, take the reader from a better understanding of the many types of wayfinding difficulties that people have, & why they have them, through an explanation of what wayfinding is & how the process works, to detailed examinations of the architectural, graphic, audible & tactile components involved in wayfinding design. A prescription, in effect, for a much-needed, brand-new design discipline.
