Biography and artistic approach
Romedi Passini is an architect, researcher and visual artist. His academic interests in design and environmental psychology have focused on wayfinding and spatial orientation. Working from his wayfinding theory based on spatial problem-solving, he has developed an approach to the design of signage and architectural and urban settings, so that people can find their way efficiently. See the selected annotated bibliography of his scientific publications.
His lifelong artistic endeavors have been inspired by his academic work with the labyrinth being an endless object of fascination. His artistic work also expresses a counterpoint, an imaginary voyage free of everyday constraints. The preferred medium is computer aided compositions. Oil pastel and acrylic, drawings in graphite, as well as collages are additional important components. The visual qualities aspired to are spontaneity and the play of space accentuated by color; they seek to involve the viewer in spatio-cognitive exploration.
