The Experience Sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.

These five senses encompass the human experience, enabling us to perceive the world around us and communicate with others.

With this in mind there is no guess as to why when most people are waiting in a parking garage they see their loud, smelly and visually unappealing experience a negative one. By pairing each of the five senses with a distinct pattern, we can create a classy and effective way to provide a memorable wayfinding experience.
