Signing Systems
Ashgate Publishing, Nov 2009, Pages: 170
We all like to be comfortable in our surroundings. We sometimes get nervous in strange environments, and worried if we dont know which way to go. We may even panic and end up in the wrong place, or get into the wrong vehicle. It could be even more serious if we cant find our way out of a building in an emergency, or fail to notice an important piece of information which could save our life, or stop us having a serious accident. Jeff Willis and Sue Perks Signing Systems explores how signing systems effect human behaviour and how these principles should be used to design systems that work for their intended audience, be it a heritage site, a hospital, an airport or a shopping centre. The authors explore cultural, psychological, ergonomic as well as practical issues and offer advice for how architects and designers can work together most effectively. The book includes a series of detailed case studies from public buildings in the UK, Australia and the USA.
