Konan Public Health Service Center Konan Public Welfare Center Sign planning for a health and welfare facility in Kagawa prefecture. As many of the users of the facility are senior citizens or small children, we planned the signs so that they can be recognized well from low lines of sight . The system further avoids explanations in writing and guides using pictograms, so that people can understand just by seeing. The display is continuous from the floor to the wall, using the entire space to encourage people to act. SDA (Japan sign design Association) / Prize for Grand-Award.
