Abstract: | The authors brought forward the definition of “Gestalt space” and indicated this kind of space can be easily cognized. Three
experiments showed that “classification” and “grouping” are the human strategies to solve wayfinding problems. “Similarity”
and “Legibility” of the space are advantageous to help people to complete wayfinding tasks. The designer should provide the
essential “Legibility” in Gestalt space, by using some techniques such as “break” and “accession” to settle the wayfinding
problem.
