Map Workings
Meeting with Franc.
Suggestion about doorway indentation: make the triangles less equilateral so they don’t seem so architectural.
Other suggestion: Making stairway symbol more unified and aligned by connecting railings.

In Progress Crit 2 (Nov 6, 2019)
Focus: 1st floor map
Goals: making signage on the large space above the exits; indicate what areas they lead out to (ex. Rackham Auditorium, North Quad, etc)
Feedback: Color palette is positive. The triangular indents don’t necessarily read as doorways. Elevator “E” is not clear.

Bentley Findings
Had difficulty finding information pertaining to the MLB itself, so I began looking at the departments that were found there. Through that channel, I looked at previous student organizations, student run newsletters, and flyers that were hung up in the 90′s. I wanted to see if I could find any interesting visual styles that students used in the MLB and what kinds of events held place there.
I plan on going back to the Bentley and finding more information on the building itself.

proposal
The Modern languages building is currently not very modern. Boasting high ceilings and vast amounts of blank wall space, I propose that the way finding system is renewed in a playful, mural-esque manner. The building itself is an interesting shape and currently evokes confusion upon entering as there are no indicators of your location. Each entrance appears the same currently which entails that the way finding system also needs more signs, and a system of separating each hallway in order for the viewer to understand quickly where they are in order to efficiently maneuver the building.
There is a small amount of natural light that shines through the building onto the inner walls. The rest of the building is lit with artificial overhead lights. Because of this I suggest a color scheme that can lend some brightness into the building or possibly signage that involves a metallic type to reflect light.
