Des-/Orientierung, Dis-/Orientation, Dés-/Orientation 1

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 in 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.
