Wayfinding Design Process

Our way of delivering architectural sign programs

Wayfinding Design – Content Plans

Sports stadium wayfinding content marked on a whole of site plan.

Content in context

Large detailed plans,
presented like a street directory
for the team to read, print and mark up.


Wayfinding Content plans

We detail basic wayfinding such as directories, connectors and destinations overlaid with branding, advertising, information, operational, regulatory signs and graphic installations. Features such as areas for group assembly, landmarks for orientation and operational signs are identified.

Sign types and content are located on the plan. Our code system uses the architectural drawings area codes to identify and locate the signs.

Review

These massive plans are presented in friendly A3 documents laid out like a street directory. This way they can be reviewed on screen or printed in any office for team and stakeholder collaboration.

We strive to make it easy for the architect, project manager, building surveyor and client to view and markup our documentation. This is key to securing approvals and having concise markups.

We genuinely encourage eyes on.

Performance Audit

An audit to obtain full content and sign type specifications is conducted. This covers site specific issues such as;

  • General details – purpose, location, word content, image content, quantity, life span, visibility etc.

  • Sign types – static, powered, illuminated, animated, permanent, de-mountable, temporary, 

  • Locations – inside, outside, natural light, shaded, mounting, footing substrate, lighting, power support structures, and

  • Protection – graffiti/vandalism, fading, weather proofing.
