Wayfinding Scheme
Last year's winner
Astra Group
The judges were blown away by the Wellington Place Wayfinding Leeds project, which earned a well-deserved gold prize in the Wayfinding Scheme category. Cameron was impressed, calling it "awesome," while Michelle appreciated how well it fits the space and did the job cleanly. Paul loved the oblique angle approach and thought the material design was spot on.
What we're looking for
The Wayfinding category is to recognise the thought behind the assessment of navigational needs and the delivery of a successful system that fits with the architectural and environmental aesthetics of the project and how well all of this selection fits with the brand. It should take into account colour contrasts, viewing distances and consistency.
Category Requirements
Photos are required to demonstrate the relationship of surroundings in harmony with the system or how it relates with the environment. Consideration will be given primarily for originality but also the usage of different materials, the technical complexity and the aesthetic design. The system can be any form of manufacturing. An extensive written description of the scope of the work undertaken is a requirement for eligibility in this category.
Judging will be based on, but not limited to, the following guidelines:
25% Originality of concept and design.
25% Compatibility of the wayfinding solution to its environment.
25% Innovative use of techniques and materials.
25% Technical complexity of fabrication and installation.
