About Totetsu Training Institute Wayfinding Nga Sistema
Ang kliyente, nga gitukod sa hangyo sa kanhi Ministry of Railways sa pagpadayon ug pagpalig-on sa sistema sa tren sa Japan, usa ka kinatibuk-ang kompanya sa konstruksyon nga adunay daghang kahanas sa natad sa pagtukod nga may kalabotan sa riles. Ang tigdesinyo nga si Takuya Wakizaki, ang nagtukod sa MOTIVE Inc., nagmugna ug wayfinding system para sa institute, nga gitukod sa kliyente aron mapalambo ang tawhanong kapanguhaan. Alang sa disenyo nga motibo, gigamit sa tigdesinyo ang mga linya sa riles-ang kinauyokan nga pagkatawo sa kliyente. Pinaagi sa disenyo, ang tigdesinyo naningkamot sa paghimo og luna nga makatabang sa mga trainees nga mobati og garbo sa ilang trabaho.

- Unique Properties
- Due to the characteristics of the space, some of the rooms in the facility are in blind areas. The rail-line design marks flow lines to those rooms, offering affordances for spatial movement. In addition, the design team used rail scrap for the facility’s name sign and portions of the stairs to capture the company's personality with creative aesthetic accents.

- Due to the characteristics of the space, some of the rooms in the facility are in blind areas. The rail-line design marks flow lines to those rooms, offering affordances for spatial movement. In other words, the rail-line design becomes a flow line. This line had to run through the building uninterrupted, and safety had to be taken to prevent users from stumbling. Since the rail lines were constructed by connecting the divided parts, severe dimensional accuracy is required. The rail lines' curves, intersections, branches, etc., were very difficult construction.
- Research
- You can find animals' whereabouts, such as foxes, by following the footprints left on the snow-covered ground.
Many people will have had the experience of walking across the pedestrian crossing only on the white line as a child.
If multiple shapes are drawn on the ground, Hopscotch will start. These unknowingly acquired behavioural habits, which are difficult to prove chemically, can be a hint for designing a wayfinding system. The marks on the floor are great for informing, inducing, and controlling behaviour. - Inspiration
- Totetsu Kogyo Co., Ltd., founded at the request of the former Ministry of Railways to maintain and reinforce Japan’s rail system, is a general construction company with far-reaching expertise in the field of rail-related construction. For the design motif, the design team used rail lines-the core identity of Totetsu Kogyo, which continues to thrive in the rail sector.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2019.
The project finished in December 2021.
Located in Ibaraki, JAPAN. - Operation Flow
- Rooms in blind areas or rooms that need to be accessed through narrow corridors are less likely to be recognized by users. With the rail-line design, users can see a destination in blind areas or beyond narrow corridors and change the inactive space into an active one.
