Des-/Orientierung, Dis-/Orientation, Da(c)S-/Orientation 2

In graphic design, instructions, city planning, and other creative disciplines, complex tasks related to orientation and disorientation are on the rise. Orientation/Disorientation 2 is an academic investigation into phenomena, representations, and stagings of orientation and disorientation. The design research institute Design2 context, under the direction of Ruedi Baur, invited academics from various fields to discuss both categories. While the first volume offered a predominantly pictorial treatment of the topic, this one addresses the phenomenon with solidly researched texts. The thematically organized anthology highlights the areas in which the concepts of orientation and disorientation are applied and sets in motion a critical analysis in various fields. Designers, graphic artists, architects, and urban planners are now confronted with the tasks of signage, route management, and information and orientation systems. With this book they can profit from a broad view of phenomena related to disorientation disorientation is scientific disciplines, in our environments. On the one hand, this should make it possible to benefit from attitudes to the topic derived from experience and to move from confusion to visual reflection. On the other, it will enable scholarly disciplines to explore the formation of categories that can move things forward. ILLUSTRATIONS 50 illustrations *
