Abstract
The intention of this study is to analyze the role of visual
communication systems made up of graphic images within the
human-space communication framework. The information content of
the man-made environment is examined and the effects of graphic
images in human-space communication are discussed by illustrated
examples. A research is carried on how information is
translated into a visual form through examination of steps from
conceptualization to juxtaposition of graphic images in space,
and how they are perceived a-hd understood. Finally,
considerations on how visual communication systems interrelate
with the architectural environment to generate messages for
identification of particular characteristics of that space.
