Book excerpt: This document is aimed at providing architects, designers, and property managers with a tool to solve or prevent wayfinding problems in built settings. Wayfinding refers to ways of getting around in a building, and relates not only to signage but also to verbal and graphic signals, architectural details, and spatial relationships. The first part reviews some of the more important principles in evaluating a building and defines what useful visitor information is. Part two guides the reader through data gathering activities and analysis of wayfinding problems; a checklist is provided for evaluation of components such as lobbies, garages, corridors, stairs, offices, and mixed-use areas. Part three describes two approaches to solving wayfinding problems: a temporary, inexpensive solution and a longer-term, permanent, and more costly solution. The appendices contain a glossary, design drawings, and a section on the special wayfinding needs of visitors with disabilities.
