Bologna Pedestrian Wayfinding Map

Extract from the Wayfinding map

Steer Davies Gleave (now Steer) commissioned Jason to design and create a wayfinding map of the historic core of Bologna. Utilising open-source and local authority-held data, the map was meticulously compiled and designed to accurately reflect the city’s unique urban morphology, including the pedestrian porticoes. The primary objective was to facilitate visitors exploring the city’s rich architectural and cultural heritage. A comprehensive array of pictograms were developed to complement the typographic and graphic language of the map.
