Brief: Develop a wayfinding system for the URS building, University of Reading campus: an overall strategy with a number of interconnected elements and application principles (e.g. a sign family, with other architectural and management suggestions where necessary).

  • the system is based on nodes and proximity
  • visual concept is inspired by the brutalist details of the building
  • the system should reflect the in-between floor for lecture rooms
  • MA Information Design project
