wayfinding
Wayfinding is a system rather than a sign. It starts from the decision points on a route — the entrance, the lobby, each corridor junction, the elevator lobby — and places a sign only where someone actually has to choose. Four types do the work: identification (you are here), directional (it is that way), room or space identification (this is it) and regulatory. Consistency between them is what makes a building navigable.
Most of the effort is upstream of fabrication: agreeing the nomenclature so a destination is called the same thing on every sign, sizing type for viewing distance, fixing a message hierarchy so no panel carries more than a handful of destinations, and building the family on one grid so a new sign years later still matches. Directories and room IDs then need to be updatable — slide-in inserts, or panels held with tape or magnets rather than glued — because tenants and department names change long before the signs wear out.
This gallery is 50 photographs tagged "wayfinding" in Notatek's own archive, from 9 client projects and 3 service galleries. The deepest set in it is Park Mobile, with 13 photos; St. John Properties and Fat Cats also appear. 14 of them are also tagged interior signage, and 5 channel letters — the combinations this kind of work usually turns up in. Every photo links back to the project it came from.
