Wayfinding: People, Signs, and Architecture

Editorial Reviews
Design Book Review, 1992
"In the past few years, a body of knowledge about how people find their way around in buildings has accumulated, appearing in journals and presented at conferences; but until now it has been diffuse. Paul Arthur and Romedi Passini's WAYFINDING have pulled together most of this knowledge, and it appears within the covers none too soon."

Book Description
This book brings together, for the first time, expertise on all three of the elements which wayfinding is comprised: architecture; graphics; and 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, and why they have them, through an explanation of what wayfinding is and how the process works, to detailed examinations of the architectural, graphic, audible and tactile components involved in wayfinding design. A prescription, in effect, for a much-needed, brand-new design discipline.
