Wayshowing > Wayfinding is the completely renewed edition of the standard reference book Wayshowing, which was published in 2005. This new edition by Per Mollerop is fully updated with digital signage systems and has much more tool-oriented, practical content. Moreover, all signage examples are newly selected for this edition.
Wayshowing > Wayfinding is divided into three parts, that deal with problems, principles and practices. First, the book discusses the problems of wayfinding. The section on principles takes its point of departure in non-signs acting as signs. It then goes on to discuss the concepts of wayfinding and wayshowing. Next, it presents several theoretical and practical aspects of signs and their functions.
After a discussion on sign posting for people with impaired vision, this section of the book ends with a chapter on planning. The section on practices examines cases from environments that depend on signage, including hospitals, airports, railways, museums, and cities. The cases include traditional print solutions, as well as all kinds of digital wayfinding/wayshowing.
