Exhibition celebrating the world-renowned mapping project Bristol Legible City.
“Now adopted in over 30 cities worldwide, the unique mapping concept of Legible City was first conceived in Bristol by forward thinking Bristol City Council planners.
“Devised 20 years ago, at a time before Google or smart phones even existed, Bristol Legible City was ground-breaking in its approach to wayfinding.
is needed now More than ever
“It understood that ‘reading’ a city was more than road signs and icons on a map but was, and still is, an experiential, holistic and individual way of experiencing a place.
“Detailing the chronology of the Legible City initiative since the 1990s, the exhibition celebrates the international success of the original concept whilst also revealing future developments and research.
As with all Architecture Centre exhibitions, visitors are invited to get creative in the dedicated make:space area. For this exhibition you are invited to create a map showing a special local journey and share your own favourite landmarks and special places.
