This book by acclaimed graphic designer and
author Per Mollerup looks for a more precise
visual language for what sign designers actually
do, which is to show the way. Unfortunately, as
Mollerup points out, many designers never master
the art of wayshowing themselves. For “wayshowing”
relates to “wayfinding” as writing relates to
reading and as talking relates to hearing: the purpose
of “wayshowing” is to facilitate “wayfinding.”
Mollerup examines international sign systems and
architectural landmarks in detail with his trademark
candour and good humour.

The development of modern communication and
information technologies like the Internet and
globalization have not only changed access and
spread of the available knowledge but also the
speed of collecting. The author examines collections
of knowledge such as archives, encyclopedias,
data collections, and libraries that make
knowledge accessible worldwide. Who is collecting
the world’s knowledge? How is it structured
and designed? Who determines the access
of knowledge?
