Abstract :
In this paper, a design procedure of the sign system in a city is proposed and discussed. The design method proposed is composed of three steps of analysis: (1) extracting the structure of the city using axes, spots and meshes; (2) clarifying the characteristics of the region by using shapes, materials, colors and so on; and (3) systemizing the information. A case study of Tokyo Nishi-shinjuku area shows the effectiveness of such a design approach
