An effective wayfinding solution for a sports facility would be where this It aims to increase awareness of good practice and can be achieved intuitively through the positioning to encourage a strategic overall approach to be of the building on the site, the organization of the developed at the early stages of a project. internal elements of the building and the Wayfinding and Signage should be treated as an architectural treatment. For example, a view into integral part of the design process that will help to the building from the entrance can help users create user friendly and easily operated sport understand the direction that they need to travel. facilities. Signage Signage should be seen as a logical way to complement the wayfinding solution. It can also provide information about the property including direction, guidance, instruction and warning. It should: • Inform and provide reassurance • Be clear, simple and intuitive – considered vital for people who cannot hear and therefore cannot ask their way • Not be excessive to avoid information being ignored or creating confusion and possible danger. Branding Branding is a general term for images and signage that is intended to promote awareness of organizations that are associated with the sports facility. For example, the local authority, operating company or the suppliers of sports equipment. Care should be taken that an excess of such branding does not compromise the wayfinding and signage intended to assist the users. Visual confusion Visual confusion can be created if too many signs are located in close proximity. Views from the exterior of the building to the sports activities within Examples See Section 5.0 for two examples of wayfinding and signage schematics. These are based on the Sport England ‘Affordable Sports Halls’ and a typical ‘Wet and Dry Sports Centre’. They are presented as templates that can be reviewed and developed in the context of a particular project.

Following this introduction, Section 02 of this document presents guiding principles that should be followed to reduce environmental impacts associated with the sourcing and end-of-life management of event branding and signage. Section 03 presents the outcomes of life-cycle assessments (LCAs) for over 40 different material types. For each material type, the environmental impacts of a conventional option are compared with those of an alternate commercially available option and a new innovation. This is complemented by case studies describing some of the more advanced solutions to reduce environmental footprint. Links to project contacts are provided in Section 04, and project references are included in Section 05.

  • A Review Article on Acrylic PMMA
    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684,p-ISSN: 2320-334X, Volume 13, Issue 2 Ver. I (Mar. - Apr. 2016), PP 01-04 www.iosrjournals.org A Review Article on Acrylic PMMA Eshwar Pawar 1(PRMIT&R, MECHANICAL/ SGBAU, INDIA) Abstract : In the plastics industry most of the acrylics are the polymers of methyl methacrylate (PMMA). Acrylics can be available in various forms such as molding powder or casting syrups. They are mostly known for the exceptional clarity and optical properties in various fields. Acrylics are mostly used in production of fixtures because of the properties such as slow burning or self-extinguishing. The present paper covers what is acrylic, what are the various uses of acrylic, usage of acrylic in the future technology etc. Possible areas in which acrylic can serve as a useful option are also covered. As we are living in the era of technology and innovation the author in this research paper has tried to focus the advantages of alternative materials in the various fields of technology for prosperity and growth. Different work from other background is also covered in this article. Keywords : Materials, PMMA, properties, technology, work. I. INTRODUCTION 1. Introduction The advancements in the field of technology are constantly taking pace with the help of innovation in several areas. To help support this trend we should consider not only providing effective ways to minimize the cost of the overall production but also having the desired output. During the last few years, it has been seen that researchers are not only focusing to provide new and alternative ways to meet the demand of the consumer but also developing effective substitutes for the survival of the economy.
