Wayfinding

Guidance for healthcare facilities

by Colette Miller and David Lewis


SUMMARY: Wayfinding covers everything to do with how people
           find their way around environments from appointment
           letters to site maps, from architectural features to
           signs. This book explains how people find their way
           and provides good practice guidelines for producing
           clear, effective wayfinding systems.
