A goal of environmental graphic design is to create identities that inform the public of a building's contents and occupants. The designer's use of recognizable exterior marks, symbols and signage dictates how well this information is communicated to prospective clients, visitors or observers. My creative project examines how informational environmental and graphic design can improve awareness and understanding of the mission of a building that was not constructed for its current social services use.

La presente investigación permite conocer la problemática sobre el estrés infantil en pacientes pediátricos por la carente humanización del espacio hospitalario. El objetivo general consiste en demostrar que el Diseño Gráfico aplicado mediante la Gráfica Ambiental y la Iconoplástica influye en la humanización de un espacio de salud para reducir el estrés infantil en situación de hospitalización en el Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia, por ende, se genera la hipótesis: “El Diseño Gráfico aplicado mediante la Gráfica Ambiental y la Iconoplástica influye en la humanización de un espacio de salud para reducir el estrés infantil en situación de hospitalización en el Hospital Nacional Cayetano Heredia”. El enfoque empleado para esta investigación es mixto. El estudio es de tipo experimental – experimentos puros. La población estuvo conformada por 14 pacientes pediátricos de 5 a 12 años del área de Hospitalización Pediátrica. Se utilizó la encuesta y focus group como técnicas de recopilación de datos de las variables, hospitalización y estrés infantil; se empleó como instrumento el cuestionario para ambas variables. Por lo que se plantea como solución, la intervención gráfica del ambiente hospitalario para pediatrizar y humanizar el área de hospitalización. Esta se plantea en base a los resultados obtenidos y a la necesidad de adaptar un espacio hospitalario a las necesidades infantiles. En conclusión, la respuesta por parte de los pacientes pediátricos fue positiva y los resultados de los testeos indicaron un 90% de acierto. Motivo por el cual, se pudo corroborar la hipótesis planteada. / The present research allows to know the problem of child stress in paediatric patients due to the lack of humanization of the hospital space. The general objective is to demonstrate that the Graphic Design applied through the Environmental Chart and the Iconoplastic influences the humanization of a health space to reduce the stress of children in hospitalization in the Hospital National Cayetano Heredia, the hypothesis is therefore generated: "The Graphic Design applied through the Environmental Chart and the Iconoplastic influences the humanization of a health space to reduce the stress of children in hospitalization at the Cayetano Heredia National Hospital." The approach used for this research is mixed. The study is experimental – pure experiments. The population consisted of 14 paediatric patients from 5 to 12 years of age in the area of Pediatric Hospitalization. The survey and focus group were used as data collection techniques for variables, hospitalization and child stress; the questionnaire for both variables was used as a tool. As a solution, the graphic intervention of the hospital environment to pediatricize and humanize the area of hospitalization. This is based on the results obtained and the need to adapt a hospital space to children’s needs. In conclusion, the response of paediatric patients was positive and the results of the tests were 90% success, so the hypothesis could be validated. / Trabajo de investigación

El congestionamiento vehicular es el segundo problema más grande de los limeños, este se debe a que el sistema de transporte actual tiene algunas deficiencias. Sin embargo, existen sistemas vehiculares que han tenido más éxito, como es el caso del Sistema Metropolitano de Transporte de Lima (Metropolitano). No obstante, este también presenta algunos déficits, sobre todo, en la aplicación del Diseño Gráfico Ambiental que no permite que los usuarios se desenvuelvan correctamente en sus instalaciones. Por esa razón el objetivo del presente trabajo es identificar los principales problemas encontrados en el Metropolitano para poder crear una propuesta de solución basada en las herramientas que brinda el Diseño Gráfico Ambiental para comprobar si es que la implementación de Diseño Gráfico Ambiental, haciendo uso de sus elementos acompañados del uso de branding, códigos visuales, y un método de proyecto enfocado a diseño en el Sistema Metropolitano de Transporte de Lima puede mejorar la experiencia del usuario. Para el presente trabajo se realizó una investigación a nivel exploratorio y de enfoque cualitativo, ya que el objetivo era hallar las causas por las cuales los usuarios no logran conectar totalmente con las instalaciones del Metropolitano. La propuesta fue el replanteamiento del sistema de Diseño Gráfico Ambiental que va acompañado de una nueva identidad de marca. El resultado de los test fue en su mayoría positivo y por lo tanto se puede decir que la hipótesis presentada fue validada en el presente trabajo. / Traffic congestion is the second largest of the limeans problem, this is due to that the current transport system has some shortcomings. However, there are vehicular systems who have had more success, as it is the case of the Metropolitan system of transportation of Lima (Metropolitan). However, this also presents some deficits in its environmental design that not allows that users can manage is correctly in its facilities. Therefore, so the objective of the present study is to identify the main problems encountered in the system Metropolitan Transportation of Lima (Metropolitan) in order to create a proposal for a solution based on tools that provides design Environmental to thus be able to check if it is a good implementation of environmental graphic design, making use of its elements accompanied by the use of branding, Visual codes, and a method of project focused on design in the Metropolitan system of Transportation of Lima will allow that their user experience is improved. This study was an Experimental investigation level exploratory and qualitative approach, since the objective was to find the causes by which the users unable to connect completely with the metropolitan facilities. The proposal was the implementation of a system of environmental design that goes along with a new identity. The result of the test was mostly favourable so we can say that the hypothesis presented was validated in this study. / Trabajo de investigación

Este estudo trata de exposições de fins educativos que tenham como objetivo oferecer uma reflexão sobre design. Para tanto, importa conceber a exposição como modalidade de projeto, o que torna oportuna a fundamentação teórica em design de exposição, alternativa na área do design gráfico-ambiental. As bases conceituais do trabalho compreendem a exposição como produto que constitui variável na percepção dos visitantes. O objetivo geral é elaborar critérios projetuais a partir da análise, em três estudos, sobre as ações de organizadores e designers, com vistas à comunicação com o público. A pesquisa é de caráter exploratório, para a qual lançamos mão de entrevistas semi-estruturadas. Os casos analisados, em três cidades do país, nos anos de 2010 e 2011, revelaram que, além de contribuir para a difusão do design, estes eventos constituem modos de refletir sobre os desafios do design e o papel do designer na contemporaneidade. / This study concerns educative exhibitions that aim to offer a reflection on design. Therefore the exhibition is conceived as a design type of project, which makes timely the theoretical foundations on exhibition design, an alternative in environmental-graphic design. The conceptual basis comprehends the exhibition as a product which is a variable in the visitors’ perception. The aim is to generate project criteria throughout the analysis in three studies regarding the actions of organizers and designers, considering the communication with the audience. The research is of exploratory kind, to which we lay hold of semi-structured interviews. The cases analyzed in three Brazilian cities during the years of 2010 and 2011 revealed that, besides its contribution to the diffusion of design, these events consist ways of reflecting about the challenges of design and the designer's role in contemporary society.

La investigación enfoca su objetivo principal en identificar los elementos gráficos del diseño ambiental que intervienen en la productividad aplicada al trabajo remoto. Por lo tanto, se propuso la hipótesis de que los elementos gráficos del diseño ambiental que intervienen en la productividad aplicada al trabajo remoto son el color, la iluminación y los materiales y herramientas visuales. Se llevó a cabo un estudio de tipo transversal descriptivo en el que se analizaron espacios laborales en el hogar impuestos por el contexto de la pandemia. Entre los principales hallazgos se identificó que la mayoría de los espacios examinados son áreas compartidas del hogar. Por lo tanto, existe cierta limitación en la optimización de la aplicación de los elementos gráficos que conforman el diseño ambiental. Sin embargo, aquellos espacios que están determinados para esta actividad tienen mayor flexibilidad para personalizar su espacio, agregar herramientas visuales y la oportunidad de integrar elementos del diseño ambiental. Así, se concluyó que en el marco de la emergencia sanitaria existe dificultad para proyectar un espacio de trabajo en el hogar. Sin embargo, se confirma que los elementos gráficos del diseño ambiental que intervienen en la productividad aplicada al trabajo remoto son el color, la iluminación y los materiales y herramientas visuales, ya que estos deben estar consignados en favor de la optimización de la experiencia de trabajo. / The research focuses its main objective on identifying the graphic elements of environmental design that intervene in productivity applied to remote work. Therefore, it was hypothesized that the graphic elements of environmental design that intervene in productivity applied to remote work are color, lighting, and visual materials and tools. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in which work spaces in the home imposed by the context of the pandemic were analyzed. Among the main findings, it was identified that the majority of the examined spaces are shared areas of the home. Therefore, there is a certain limitation in optimizing the application of the graphic elements that make up the environmental design. However, those spaces that are determined for this activity have greater flexibility to personalize their space, add visual tools and the opportunity to integrate elements of environmental design. Therefore, it was concluded that in the framework of the health emergency there is difficulty in projecting a workspace at home. However, it is confirmed that the graphic elements of the environmental design that intervene in productivity applied to remote work are color, lighting, and visual materials and tools, since these must be consigned in favor of optimizing the work experience. / Trabajo de investigación
