Postponed (Due to Covid-19) - Auckland DA Workshop: Wayfinding for Designers

Good wayfinding enables confidence in where you’ve been, where you are, and where you’re going. Wayfinding is often the first touch point of a product or service and, when done well, creates stress-free, seamless user experiences. Many built environments are becoming more complex in response to urban population growth. Building designs and streetscapes are growing and evolving in response to larger volumes of users, better amenity and reallocation of space to enable more efficient and ecologically friendly mobility choices. In response, how we navigate efficiently through cities, stations, buildings, and airports has become increasingly nuanced. The needs and wants of people using public places drive their behaviour, decision making and navigation strategies. Gain insight and hands-on experience of creating rational design systems that respond to a variety of abilities, needs, and desires, and reflect on how this affects the quality of user experiences.
