The reason for my question was, I felt it was difficult to navigate this airport, not only for myself but for most traveling there for the first time, or even for infrequent travelers. I was curious to know what type of firm did the design work, and what the parameters typically are for international design. Maybe we could have an offline conversation. The biggest issue I think for most was clearing immigration...There was very little or no signage about clearing immigration or customs. When people have short layovers ( 1 hr or less) you want to have clear direction as to exactly what to expect and where...people exited the plane, and had "0" idea as to where or when or "if" they would ever see the customs booth. Unfortunately, although I travel to and from Germany quarterly, I have limited exposure to the many international airports...and my comparison is somewhat limited to US exposure...however, Frankfurt Main, and other countries typically use immigration icons to not only move people in the right direction, especially when language barriers are present, but to confirm to passengers that they are moving in the right direction. The typical international arrival is through one single corridor, but this was not the case at Madrid. I further believe that airport design, similar to hospital design, needs to serve people of the lowest common denominator. Even understanding the airport overall was difficult unless you read the pamphlet prior to landing...I guess I was looking to understand the intent, and if this was typical to Europe etc. Sometimes I have to question if my observation is biased based on what is typical to the US....I'm of the opinion that good experiences for people are related to organized well identified spaces....Your thoughts would be appreciated.

The wayfinding scheme and signage design was done by The Brand Union, at their website there is a showcase of the project. <a href="http://www.thebrandunion.com/OurWork/Client/AENA/51/CaseStudy/57/Wayfinding" rel="nofollow">See here</a>. How did the overall experience felt like? Could you easily find your destinations within the airport? Thanks. Hi Carla,

I recently passed though there on business. Mr. Baumann, I was interested in knowing if you know who did the sign design for the Madrid Airport. I recently passed though there on business.
