The entire system was designed to remain consistent with the visual identity of the University of Silesia while ensuring clarity, functionality, and intuitive spatial communication.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1729\">The wayfinding system implemented in Cieszyn demonstrates the important role that well-designed solutions play in enhancing the quality of academic spaces. Combining functionality, clarity, and visual consistency with the university\u2019s identity, the project now serves as an important reference point for the continued development of signage systems across other University of Silesia buildings. These improvements are being introduced in stages, with the shared goal of creating a more coherent spatial communication system while improving accessibility and the overall user experience across the university.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1731\" data-end=\"1810\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">More information about the competition is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iiidaward.net\/\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]\r\n                <div class=\"text-modules\">\r\n                    <div class=\"container\">\r\n                        \r\n                        <div class=\"text-modules__content\"><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"wp-image-250848 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bez-kategorii\/IIIDawards_2026.1.jpg\" alt=\"Na zdj\u0119ciu osoba schodz\u0105ca po schodach w tle materia\u0142y graficzne ( oznakowanie) wyr\u00f3\u017cnione w konkursie\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bez-kategorii\/IIIDawards_2026.1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/Bez-kategorii\/IIIDawards_2026.1-460x575.jpg 460w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">pgoto: Micha\u0142 J\u0119drzejowski<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]\r\n                <div class=\"text-modules\">\r\n                    <div class=\"container\">\r\n                        \r\n                        <div class=\"text-modules__content\"><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-250849\" src=\"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IIIDawards_2026.2-720x900.jpg\" alt=\"Na g\u0142ownym planie zdj\u0119cia oznakowanie przy wejsciu do sali, w tle kobieta wchodz\u0105ca przez drzwi\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IIIDawards_2026.2-720x900.jpg 720w, https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IIIDawards_2026.2-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IIIDawards_2026.2-460x575.jpg 460w, https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IIIDawards_2026.2.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">photo: Micha\u0142 J\u0119drzejowski<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\r\n                    <\/div>\r\n                <\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row] [&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-secondary understrap-read-more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/system-informacji-wizualnej-us-w-cieszynie-wyrozniony-w-konkursie-iiid-award-2026\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":28,"featured_media":250851,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[]},"categories":[81,53,56],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250846"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/28"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=250846"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":251142,"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250846\/revisions\/251142"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250851"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=250846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/us.edu.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
