Information design consists of labelling and routing. Well designed information is crucial for successful orientation in an indoor space. In this diploma thesis a project of labelling and orientation in a kindergarten is presented. It’s playfulness and a greater emphasis on image labelling di ers from the classic guiding systems. In addition, it also has a much broader age range of it’s users. It is intended for children, their parents and grandparents.
The theoretical part of the thesis presents the starting points and guidelines for the design of the individual elements. These are crucial in information design. Apart from the artistic design of individual elements, in information design, a clear and orderly structure and information hierarchy is also of key importance.
In experimental work a project of labelling and routing is based on previously stated starting points. This diploma is a quick overview of an architectural design project for a kindergarten, which was graphically and typographically equipped. The objective of this diploma was to design a font and illustrations adequate for kindergarten labelling. The labelling system includes the labelling of paths, playrooms, children's wardrobes and other kindergarten rooms.
With the diploma thesis we show that the information design in an architectural project is very important, as it helps with improving orientation in an indoor space and faster access to the right information. In addition, the routing system in the kindergarten can be designed so that it also serves for the play and learning of children.
