Modern orientation graphics began to develop in Czechoslovakia in the first half of the 1970s, in connection with transport. Soon, information and orientation systems started to facilitate navigation in other functional spaces as well — such as department stores, cultural buildings, accommodation facilities, sports complexes, and housing estates. Infographics were also used in non-public areas, for example in production facilities. Sophisticatedly designed wayfinding systems thus became an integral part of architecture during this period, whether purely on a purposeful level or with the intention of adding an artistic touch to often unique interiors. The authors of these realisations were the leading graphic artists of their time, yet are now completely forgotten creators, or in some cases the architects themselves. The long-term research project Infosystem 7080 provides a comprehensive view of the information and orientation systems implemented in a wide range of Czech architecture in the 1970s and 1980s.
