Wayfinding is more than signs
At Atuarfik Inussuk in Nuuk, wayfinding was part of the architecture from the very beginning.
Colours, graphics and signs help children find their way intuitively around the school, while local animals and plants featured on the façade reappear inside as identities for different classrooms. This creates recognition across the building – while also introducing children to Greenland’s local flora and fauna.
When considered from the start, wayfinding can become an integrated part of the architecture and interiors – making navigation more intuitive while adding identity, character and even opportunities for learning.
