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.

WHY?

During a search in the city plates, I faced with this text. At that moment its content and purpose was unclear for me.

Then I found that it’s an explanation about Paul Schneider. I taught it’s good to design something as information for visitors, to show them who is he, what did he do etc.

HOW?

Using

New styles 
New media such as mobile device, 
New techniques like "QR"

+'''WHAT?'''
-However, in the streets of urban design has increasingly been considered by designers, but the streets are often no clear and consistent conceptual framework might look like. Anyone remember what the street name is the first step to clear the passage way is a traffic and transportation.
-A street sign is a type of traffic sign used to identify named roads. Street signs are most often found posted at intersections, and are usually in perpendicularly oriented pairs identifying each of the crossing streets. Modern street signs are mounted on either utility poles or smaller purpose-made sign poles, or hung over intersections from overhead supports like wires or pylons.
-Most streets have a sign at each intersection to indicate the name of the road. The design and style of the sign is usually common to the district in which it appears. The sign has the street name and sometimes other information, such as the block number or the name of the in which the street is located. Such signs are, on famously named streets. Usually, the color scheme used on the sign just reflects the local standard. However, in some cases, the color of a sign can provide information, as well. Other places sometimes use blue or white signs to indicate streets name.

-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 technology 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).
