BRIEF
Gamuda Cove is a sprawling 1,530-acre township, a nature sanctuary that is envisaged to be a smart & sustainable city. Located next to Paya Indah Wetlands, it is also Malaysia’s 5-Diamond Low Carbon city. FW’s task on this project was to provide a Subject-Matter-Expert’s review of wayfinding signage design for a cycling route traversing parts of the township. |
CHALLENGE
Not being directly involved in the prerequisite wayfinding analysis, more time & effort, which translates into more cost, needed to be had for better understanding of the design intent, objectives & rationale. SOLUTION While design is largely subjective & interpretative, there are basic principles that need to be applied, if not adhered to, specifically when it comes to wayfinding signage design. |
SOLUTION (cont.)
Sizing considerations given distance to engage, speed of travel, cone of vision, number of content that can be displayed for maximum effectiveness, fixing & mounting permutations based upon site conditions & limitations, material suitability & durability given the locations, application of colors for clarity & longevity, placement & orientation for safety considerations. These were amongst the many touch-points that were addressed during the course of the reviews, which for all intents & purpose, led to us practically “tweaking & re-tweaking” the design iterations ourselves :D |
