Research on the Hierarchical Design of Disaster Prevention Sign System for Library Buildings

Abstract:

This paper is based on the investigation of the current status of the disaster prevention signs for public buildings (such as libraries) and the analysis of relevance between disasters and the disaster prevention signs, puts forward new proposals for the design method of disaster prevention sign cognition system for public buildings through three aspects, the region division, the setting of level and the systematic design. With the introduction of zoning and the combination to the grade-level of library buildings, the method is raised to set the level of disaster prevention sign system to ensure the efficacy and economy of the signs. As to the disaster prevention signs itself, reinforced on the design of disaster prevention sign system in the forms, details and humanistic aspects, can observably improve the design of the sign system and achieve the unity, continuity and systematicness of the disaster prevention sign system, which can also optimize and improve the cognitive effect of the disaster prevention signs finally.
