GENERAL GROWTH PROPERTIES
Mall Wayfinding Strategy
digital wayfinding & communications
General Growth Properties (now Brookfield Properties) had assembled a team of technology experts to launch their new retail website and app with an aim to unify their customer’s shopping experience from home to physical malls. Already several months into the project, and with a launch date that was not moving, GGP needed mapping help. LVCK joined the team at Intersection as the map and wayfinding experts. We analyzed close to 100 mall properties, participated in site surveys, and developed mockups for user testing. We designed a new map standard, custom icons, an completed a sixty-page style guide for use by their blu-dot wayfinding developer.

EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
Lobby Restoration
custom font & signage
The Empire State Building, designed by Shreve, Lamb and Harmon and completed in 1931, is arguably New York’s most iconic landmark. Beyer Blinder Belle was commissioned to lead a specialized team in restoring the lobby to its original granduer. Addressing signage needs carried some challenges: the desire to preserve the past, the need to accomodate a modern, multi-national audience, and longterm sustainability. The result was a signage program that fit seemlessly throughout the lobby, street entrances, corridors, elevator bank areas, retail spaces and public floors.
