The highest priority project to come out of thinc design's 2016 Kingston Waterfront Master Plan was a strategy for wayfinding, celebration and promotion of the waterfront. thinc design worked with Kingston-based 1dea on an intuitive approach that encourages visitors to explore 280 kilometres of shoreline through signage (blazes, icons and kiosks), the web and public art.
The project included community consultation, a family of signs (major and minor kiosks, directional signs and trail markers), interpretation, mapping, selection of sign locations, contract documents and contract administration.
