Istanbul Cevahir Shopping mall also includes some mechanisms and principles which can be observed majority of the shopping malls. Design is tend to manipulate user and consuming dynamics with variable elements and it can create different meanings in different parts of it. SECURITY. SECURE. BE SAFE. YOU ARE SAFE. YOU CAN SAFELY CONSUME. ENJOY. These are inevitable principles that shopping malls are promoted by.
