PUBLIC MINDED DETAILING
Way-finding Design
The addition of extra wings to the Fourway Mall
plan resulted in the shape of a four emerging
as the central organising principle. Four anchor
tenants, Game, Woolworths, Checkers and the
Food Court are located on the four edges of the
four wings with the three floors between creating
concourses and display areas with line shops and
brand offerings connecting pathways.

The navigation and wayfinding system was
designed by Seek Design. Through bringing the
colour in the parking garages into the shopping mall
signage systems, and making visible the colour on
central lift shafts and escalators including lighting
features, consumers can easily identify that a
particular court or section is linked to the parking
entrance they entered from. As Brent Lindeque
from The Good Things Guy notes in a review , ‘it
got bigger but not harder to navigate.’
