The Atelier Andrea Gassner, Feldkirch, with the support of innovative clients Cukrowicz Nachbaur Architects, Bregenz, and former mayor Christa K\u00f6ppel, Widnau, has developed a completely new wayfinding system with differently structured handrail profiles for the construction of the nursing home in Widnau. The design&#8217;s &#8220;attention to detail&#8221; was awarded the<a href=\"https:\/\/awards.europeandesign.org\/winner\/259226\"> European Design Award 2024 in Gold in the category<\/a> &#8220;Signage &amp; Wayfinding&#8221; on Saturday, July 1, 2024, in Naples.<\/p>\n<p>In institutions such as hospitals and care facilities, people with limited cognitive abilities often move around, for various reasons. As cognitive functions decline, the emotional level becomes increasingly important. In addition to the traditional orientation system, the design concept by Atelier Andrea Gassner (Christopher Walser, Andrea Gassner) includes a tactile orientation. Long-tested and also manufactured in Vorarlberg, turned wooden handrail profiles with different textures are assigned to each floor and residential area. They look good, are visually and, above all, haptically distinguishable by their use. In the entrance area, there is an overview of the different handrail textures with the following accompanying text: &#8220;At my age, seeing and walking are not the same as they used to be. That&#8217;s why I also rely on my hands to support and find my way. The different textures of the handrails in this building are a great help to me. I can feel with my hands where I am and thus understand the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Almost simultaneously, this design work received international recognition through the ADC Award 2024 \u2013 Silver in the category Design for Good\/Product Design, which was awarded to Atelier Andrea Gassner on May 14th in New York.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ED-Awards are annual awards for outstanding European design.
