Abstract

[Purpose/significance] The purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyze the content of the signage standard of Australian public libraries, and provide reference for the design guideline formulation of Chinese library space signage. [Method/process] The paper used the Internet survey method to obtain relevant guidelines and standards for the space signage of public libraries in Australian. The Victorian State Library and the Marrickville Library in New South Wales, which have won the 2020 Australian National Architecture Award, were taken as examples to analyze the design practice of their space signage. [Result/conclusion] The space signage standard and guide of Australian Public Library are rich in content and diverse in forms, and have some adjustments as the social environment changes. We get revelation about the design of the space signage of public libraries in China: develop a guide frame including the design of library signage, design library space guide signage that are coordinated with the environment, pay attention to the diversification of library space guide signage, strengthen the design of special library space guide signage, and hire guide sign designs of professionals involved.
