Abstract: Abstract There is an underestimation of the influence of architectural information on individual’s navigation in the built environment. In the presented studies, an experiment was conducted where participants were asked to choose their preferred egress in a list of specially designed isolated virtual convex rooms with only visual architectural cues provided. With data collected from the experiment, variable levels influencing individual’s decision making on the egress were analyzed. The findings indicate that individuals tend to choose brighter and wider egress, especially brighter and wider corridors in wayfinding.
