Paula,
I believe you may have some luck searching for Environmental Graphic Design. There is also a professional association, the Society for Environmental Graphic Design (http://segd.org/
) that may provide some useful information. EGD tends to encompass user behavior, traffic patterns and signage, that sort of thing. I hope this is the direction you are looking for - good luck.
Best regards,

I have been searching now some time trying to find the proper search terms. Landscape architecture is a new filed for me. I know there are articles about designing hospital parks or nature areas for patients. She wants to design a park between two large building in the downtown area that foster communication and comfort.
Thanks for any help.
