This graduation project documentation focuses on framing human-centric guidelines for workplaces. The objective of these guidelines is to ease the designer's life, enhance the appropriateness of practice, and bring efficiency and consistency in design. The guidelines describe best practices and thus makes it easier for a designer to make the correct choice. The work starts by understanding what environmental graphics, installations, placemaking, wayfinding and signages are and how they influence the workplaces, followed by several site visits and user interviews. These findings help structure the guidelines.
