Communication The way the environment communicates with people. Then we focused on environmental communication, or wayfinding, to make Newton dorm communicate with people. We decided to develop a strategic wayfinding scheme. We were able to build up a modular wayfinding system that will adapt to the building environment. We did a lot of user studies with the ideal path of them, to create different proposals and options of wayfinding. We discover that the main problem of Newton Residence is the sense of feeling inside a hospital because of the white spaces and walls.
Residents don’t have a definite feeling of home, and inside the building, the environment is undefined.
