A shopping-centre parking reference in Cebu

The original article identifies SM City Cebu as a development of SM Prime Holdings. Its project context is a large retail destination serving visitors with different levels of familiarity with the site.

A recorded 1,450-space installation

The 2009 installation covered 1,450 parking spaces. For a comparable retail facility, a useful starting point is to break the overall parking layout into clearly named areas and identify the route choices that visitors face on arrival.

Make a large car park understandable to first-time visitors

For a comparable mall, map the route from the entrance to each parking zone and onward to the shopping-centre entrance. Include the way a visitor identifies and returns to the parked vehicle.

AKE’s guidance family includes sensors, cameras, parking displays and car-finder kiosks. For a new mall, the design team should connect each required function with the area and journey it serves.
