What is an information kiosk?
Information kiosk is a stand, stand or type of gazebo that has one open page and includes free informative literature. Some kiosks of this nature may also include guides or operators, which is the main purpose, to help visitors offer information and advice. Maps, leaflets, small books and other items can be available to anyone visiting an information kiosk.
In North America, most of the kiosks are informative, although some kiosky also act as small newsstands that sell cigarettes, newspapers and other items. Throughout the rest of the world, kiosk is usually a type of garden center or a small shelter of a similar gazebo. In addition to traditional kiosks, computer kiosky has become quite common.
Computer kiosk is closely related to information kiosk, only this type of stand includes only computer information. Instead of the usual accompaniment of kiosk, secure computers allow users to access valuable tourist information. Often these structuresis referred to as "Kiosky touch screen."
The word "kiosk" is of Persian origin, although it can be converted into many other languages. The first kiosky invented Seljuky who wanted to provide visitors with a mosque some type of shelter in front of the elements. Thus, these kiosky were attached to the sides of various mosques. After the Seljuci Ottomani accepted the concept of kiosk, only the Ottoman sultans used these arched shelters as a kind of royal residence. European ambassadors who spent a large amount of time in Turkey were very impressed by Turkish kiosky, and therefore this type of building is very common in Europe today.
Many kiosks throughout history have been decorated with various sultans, kings and other rulers. Among the best examples of these complicated kiosks are tiled kiosk and Bagdad kiosk, both are located in Turkey. These kiosky include columns, different levels and complex architecture.
Numerous greenhouses all over the worldYou were modeled after the Turkish kiosks. These greenhouses have arched ceilings, sometimes covered with glass, large garlands of exotic flowers and elements of Turkish architecture. Modern information kiosk rarely resembles the original kiosks Seljuk in any way.
From the average information kiosk in the center of the center to the kiosky, these buildings are recognizable around the world. Visitors to any part of the world tend to understand that the information kiosk will have valuable tourist material. This makes these small stalls necessary.
