The navigation strategy was developed at masterplan scale. Districts, anchor destinations, bridges and parking areas were organised into a structured hierarchy so that information could progress from wider orientation towards more local destination decisions.

The linear geometry of the waterfront and movement between both sides of the site required clear relationships between major destinations, crossings and parking areas. Rather than treating each district independently, the system established a common framework for reading the wider destination.

Public art was incorporated into the masterplan as both a placemaking element and an environmental reference point. Larger interventions were positioned as landmarks and meeting points, giving selected locations recognisable visual identities within the wider site.

This allows artworks to contribute to orientation alongside maps, directional information and other physical navigation layers. Their role extends beyond decoration by creating additional spatial references that can help distinguish one part of the waterfront from another.

A zoning and colour strategy differentiates the two sides of the waterfront. Cool tones were assigned to northern districts with references to air, water and wind, while warmer palettes were developed for southern districts around associations with earth, energy and fire.

These distinctions extend into parking areas, public spaces and district identification, giving the Wayfinding & Navigation system another layer of spatial differentiation.
