The official tourist route guidance system of Berlin is to be extended. Moniteurs and the office PSY:PLAN were commissioned by the city of Berlin to conduct a comparative study. The aim was to analyze the tourist route guidance systems of ten major cities and to examine the extent to which the contents and concepts of other systems can be transferred to a guidance system in Berlin. The cities studied were Dresden, Potsdam, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Bristol, London, New York, Sydney, Vienna and Zurich.

A component of the comparison is the analysis and evaluation with the handling of the low barrier and inclusive requirement.

A competition was launched in the second half of 2016 to design the additional element of the information system.

With a to­tal area of 300,000 sqm, the listed Air­port Tem­pel­hof build­ing is still one of the largest build­ings in the world. Since it has been closed to air traf­fic in 2009, the build­ing is hous­ing of­fices and event spaces. In 2013, Moni­teurs drew up the con­cept for an over­ar­ch­ing guid­ance and ori­en­ta­tion sys­tem for the ex­te­rior, in­clud­ing the air­field. The plan­ning for the air­port build­ing was im­ple­mented in 2016. The sign fam­ily is sim­ple and ro­bust and in­te­grates well into the pub­lic space. The ex­tremely com­plex ter­rain and ac­cess to it were clearly struc­tured and in­for­ma­tion hi­er­ar­chies were de­vel­oped.

40,000 peo­ple, 17,000 apart­ments: the Märkische Quar­ter in Berlin places great de­mands on ori­en­ta­tion. The large hous­ing de­vel­op­ment was de­signed in the 1960s by na­tion­ally and in­ter­na­tion­ally recog­nised ar­chi­tects. Build­ings of the same con­struc­tion type bor­der onto sev­eral streets and are con­nected through large court­yards and parks. The owner, Gesobau, wanted an ori­en­ta­tion sys­tem that not only made it eas­ier for peo­ple to find their way but also, through sim­ple and friendly de­sign, en­hanced the im­age of the neigh­bour­hood and strength­ened the iden­ti­fi­ca­tion of the res­i­dents with their neigh­bour­hood. To­gether with the pro­duc­tion de­sign­ers Gries and von Kamptz, Moni­teurs de­vel­oped a fam­ily of signs and a colour street map of the area. Ground plans mark the walk­ways and the fa­cil­i­ties of the in­fra­struc­ture.
