WAYFINDING VIRTUOSO JAN LORENC DISCUSSES DESIGNING
ACROSS CULTURES AND POST-PANDEMIC PLACEMAKING.
BY JEFF RUSS
SR. ART DIRECTOR
HE term wayfinding describes a
multi-disciplinary
approach to moving people through
complex spaces.
The process of
designing a wayfinding system should
integrate various visual cues, helping
folks to find their way and orient
themselves to their location.
Combining architectural elements,
interior-design strategies and sign
systems can vastly simplify the process
of moving a person from where they
are to where they want to be. "The
signage is very much a part of the
interior architecture," Lorenc said.
"One approach is where you are
sticking 'postage stamps' on everything. You're cranking out little plaques
and hanging them everywhere." Or,
Lorenc said, you can integrate everything. "We take that approach to the
signage. When done correctly, the
results can be much more visually
pleasing as well."

DESIGNING THE EXPERIENCE
In order to fully integrate an effective,
consistent design language into a
complex project such as a hotel/
casino/convention center, there
needs to be a partnership between
the interior design group and the
architectural firm. "I think generally,
the architects appreciate how we try
to work tongue-and-groove, partnering with them," Lorenc said.
Proper integration comes in various
