Wayfinding Signs
2025-06-16 19:00 - 20:00
Wayfinding signs are visual tools—usually signs, maps, or symbols—designed to help people navigate and orient themselves within a physical space, such as a building, campus, city, or public transportation system.
—
Purpose of Wayfinding Signs
1. Provide Direction
* Help users navigate from point A to point B.
2. Enhance User Experience
* Reduce confusion and stress, especially in complex smaller environments.
3. Improve Safety
* Direct people to emergency exits or safety zones in case of danger.
4. Establish Identity or Brand
* Reinforce the character or design of a place through consistent fonts, colors, and logos.
Wayfinding is essential in public design and urban planning because it makes environments more intuitive, inclusive, and efficient for everyone.
