Way-finding refers to information and signage systems that guide people through a physical environment and enhance their understanding and experience of the space. This is particularly important in complex built environments such as urban centers, healthcare and educational campuses, and transportation facilities. As architectural environments become more complicated, people need visual cues such as maps, directions, and symbols to help guide them to their destinations. In these often high-stress environments, effective way-finding systems contribute to a sense of well-being, safety, and security.

Our task in this project was to design a way-finding system for the building of the College of Architecture, Art and Design of the American University of Sharjah in order to enhance the spatial experience and orientation of visitors, students, faculty and staff.
