AIRPORT WAYFINDING (NIGGLI VERLAG) (HB)

Guidance systems navigate people through airports. The graphic language creates an image in the viewer’s head carrying the respective identity in its own compact form through colour, fonts, and pictograms. The authors, both specialists in the field, decipher this identity and trace its emergence and evolution over the decades. From the perspective of information design, they examine and analyse the wayfinding systems of approximately 70 airports by aligning their identities and functions.
