Résumé:
In graphic design, instructions, city planning, and other creative disciplines, complex tasks related to orientation and disorientation are on the rise. “Dis-/Orientation 2” is an academic investigation into phenomena, representations, and stagings of orientation and disorientation. The design research institute Design2context, under the direction of Ruedi Baur, invited academics from various fields to discuss both categories. While the first volume offered a predominantly pictorial treatment of the topic, this one addresses the phenomenon with solidly researched texts.

Résumé:
The world speaks in about 7000 tongues, and countless dialects. For centuries, people have tried to overcome this tower of Babel. For instance by propagating one language or by making a new language, such as Esperanto. But the language which today is best understood world-wide does not consist of words, but of images.

Résumé:
The purpose and primary function of wayfinding and signage design is to provide spatial orientation as quickly and clearly as possible. Respective concepts and systems can be designed for individual buildings, for example coporate headquarters, museums or hospitals, for areas such as a university campus or distinct municipal district, or for entire systems like a city's public transport. In addition to communicating direction, the interplay of typography, pictograms, materials, colors and shapes in these systems also delineates a particular identity of the location. On the basis of international realizations this title shows the range of different approaches and implementation possibilities of environmental graphics.

Résumé:
Dans les villes, sur les routes, au supermarché : les panneaux indicateurs sont partout. Si leur présence semble évidente, leur forme, leur contenu, leur emplacement ne vont pourtant pas de soi. Ils sont le résultat d'un travail complexe qui produit des espaces hybrides, où signes et architectures sont entrelacés. Ce livre explore les coulisses d'une signalétique aujourd'hui mondialement reconnue: celle du métro parisien. De l'organisation des services, jusqu'à l'activité des ouvriers qui installent et réparent les panneaux, en passant par les discours des concepteurs, il évoque les multiples facettes d'un dispositif ambitieux qui vise à transformer aussi bien les espaces du métro que le comportement de ses usagers. Complétant leur enquête d'un détour par le métro new-yorkais, les auteurs montrent que la signalétique parisienne instaure une véritable politique de l'attention où chacun peut s'attacher à la multitude des objets graphiques qui sont mis à sa disposition.

Si ces objets sont ici soumis à une analyse sémiotique, c'est qu'ils illustrent, au-delà de leur commune appartenance à la culture matérielle contemporaine, un même mode de production du sens.

Résumé:
This highly visual investigation shows the complex nature and enormous impact of recent developments in our information society: a transformation produced by the irresistible combined expansion of digital technology and telecommunication networks. The urban space is a privileged laboratory for observing and experiencing the density of signs and their multiple frameworks: Signage, Giant Screens, Signboards, Flags, Poster Displays, Architecture and Advertisement, Surveillance Technologies, Tracking Devices, etc. Eric Sadin started this project during a residence in Kyoto, Japan, then enlarged the focus of the inquiry to further Asian, European, and American cities as Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Bombay, Paris, London, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, New York. The result is a fascinating visual journey in 2000 colour illustrations with explanatory captions, structured into some 100 topics and analysed in brilliant theoretical texts providing the necessary background.
