    The mapping uses a heads-up system to ensure that it's orientated correctly from the view point of the user. Cinema and entertainment schedules, discount offers and transport information can also be accessed on the mall directories.
    The information desk works alongside the navigation and information system. It follows a similar aesthetic and is designed to be both accessible for visitors and functional for the customer services team.
