A Moment for Small Signs

Those who appreciate architecture do so on many levels. We are able to consider a building as an entity with a purpose and context, and often judge its success on its usefulness and beauty.  Since we often focus on the macro of our built environment, we thought it might be interesting to take a moment to switch to signs-- those details that tell us where to go and what to do, announce our arrival and embellish our experience.
