Research and design of a navigational system to contextualize Scott Parsons' Artistic Terrazzo, a highly narrative large scale floor installation running throughout the CCIS [Centennial Centre for Interdisciplinary Science] building, at the University of Alberta. Upon completing extensive research and user testing, information panels containing textual and visual cues were created and placed beside each of the Terrazzo’s elements. Co-designer: Lyubava Fartushenko.
