Transport terminals such as these are complex human environments which require a cohesive wayfinding strategy in order to run smoothly. Guiding all users to their desired mode of transport is the primary aim of such a strategy, therefore ensuring people arrive on time with minimal stress is paramount to the efficient communications of the building.
Airport wayfinding also takes into consideration certain commercial aspects, these hubs sometimes offer customers guidance through a variety of shops or retail outlets in order to enhance a person’s experience of the building and to build a revenue stream.
