Description
Airport Wayfinding: A Study of Identity and Functionality in Airports Airport wayfinding systems are more than just practical guides - they also convey an airport's identity through its design. This book explores how airports navigate the tension between their historical and cultural heritage, and their modern, functional roles. The authors, both experts in the field, examine the wayfinding systems of 70 airports from around the world, tracing the evolution of their designs over time. By analyzing these systems, they reveal the ways in which identity is communicated through color, fonts, and pictograms, creating a unique visual language for each airport. Through this study, Airport Wayfinding sheds light on the complex relationships between form and function in airport design, offering insights into the world of information design and urban planning.
