WAYFINDING AND ARTWORK PACKAGE

INTRODUCTION

One of the goals for the WAYFINDING/ARTWORK team was to provide focal

points throughout the Giving Gardens, beginning at the entries. Two entries were

determined to be needed, and signage is provided at both. This will accommodate

staff, new visitors and returning visitors as well as strengthen the circulation flow

within the site.

Existing artwork and outdoor furniture will be placed strategically, will reduce the

overall cost of artwork, and will celebrate the history of the garden. Locations for

art and signage will provide a cohesiveness to the gardens and will provide an

organized flow throughout the gardens while maintaining the individual sense of

wonder from area to area.

The color that is recommended for wayfinding and cohesiveness is red. Many of the

existing structures, like the children's’ library playspace and the campground

benches, have already incorporated this color.

The use of red will begin at the Giving House entry and will visually connect all

areas.
