unfamiliar with the areas. The simplicity of access and thoroughness of the circulation and
orientation are additional crucial factors. Users must be able to link experiences they generate
to the path they travel. Users can identify essential features and landmarks because to the
imageability, which makes navigation easier.

in a space. Clear wayfinding design is intuitive and nonverbal. It helps users to access the
various spaces within a building, reducing stress and increasing efficiency

4. How should wayfinding be integrated into design/architecture?

Space planning examples:

 Less complex floor plans

 Zoning of spatial units
 Linking spaces
 Establish hierarchy in spaces/zones use of size, emphasis
 Clear entrances or exits

The main architectural wayfinding elements include:

4.1 Zones: areas characterized by a particular feature or function and given a unique identity

4.2 Paths/ circulation: distinct areas for movement to and from destinations
4.3 Landmarks or markers: objects/ elements used to indicate a position/area along a route or at
a destination

4.4 Nodes: a point in a network/ system at which pathways intersect or branch; usually a point
where a decision needs to be made
4.5 Edges: how the perimeter of a path, zone, or node is defined. These elements are explored
in the layout of spaces and circulation and the design of the physical spaces.

Observation:

The offices around Angono Rizal Municipal Hall are located outside the streets that can
cause pedestrian traffic and vehicle traffic, Is not safe for emergency event.
