Objectives of the Course The aim of the course is to provide students with the ability to design user-friendly and accessible wayfinding systems.to provide students with an insight into the conceptual stages of space design.
Course Content It aims to comprehensively teach students the basic principles of wayfinding design, signage systems, visual cues, use of color and typography, user-centered design and accessibility.The importance of perception and cognition is explained. Information about the factors affecting the orientation design, visual, tactile and acoustic signaling systems are transmitted. Input inputs, outputs and circulation
system design and applications. This course is a plan of the selected space (shopping center, university campus, airport, etc.) plan, accessibility, sign system, circulation elements, etc.
ends with a term paper in which direction availability is questioned.
