Way-finding Resource

David Gibson, The Wayfinding Handbook: Information Design for Public Places (New York: Princeton Architectural Press, 2009).

By using real life examples, the book illustrates the way type, color, mapmaking, dimensional forms, material selection, and new media are used to create effective way-finding systems. The author draws on his thirty years of experience collaborating with architects, planners, developers, managers, and civic leaders to offer an insider's view of this rapidly evolving discipline.

The book fits into my research and I find it useful because it guides you to the discipline from planning and design to practical considerations such as setting up teams and managing projects.
