Identify a famous person through a street plate

WHAT?

Public spaces in a city are one of the most important parts of the environment. Streets are the simplest example of public spaces, where people get the first impression of city. Weimar as a cultural city has many places which are belonged to artists, authors, philosophers etc. I wanted to do a design work to declare these famous people to tourists and citizens. I decided to use street plates as a tourist information icon.

Idea

In Weimar I am interested about some street signs has an extra explanation about the name of street which is belongs the famous person, that who is he or she.I decided to design new way to indicate these explanation of these streets in weimar with new style and new media such as mobile device, "QR" (passengers and tourists can scan these codes and get information about the famous name onstreet and even get direction in different languages).

Early probe

I looked around the city and streets , took pictures from signs , even houses and shops.

Next

I interested some street name has an extra pallet which is written a short text about the street name.Its the point of my idea .
