The shopping malls are designed for only one thing: encouraging people to buy,buy, buy. How do they do this? Well, it is something of an art, an art that has been brought to perfection in the 50 years since malls first started appearing in America.
Every aspect(方面) of mall design is carefully considered to appeal to(吸引) the customer's psychological(心理的) needs. This starts with the overall environment. Tests have shown that people feel most relaxed and comfortable at a temperature of 24-26 degrees. So, this is the air temperature of most malls. If it is any hotter, people may become too lazy to walk. Any cooler, they may rush around and leave before they've spent enough money.
The choice of colors is also very important. Dark colors like orange or purple can make people feel irritable or unhappy. With such feelings, they are not likely to do much shopping. Therefore, very dark colors are almost never used in malls. Instead, walls are usually painted in light colors, which make customers feel relaxed and give the mail a spacious feeling.
The arrangement of space in the mall is also done with great care. Research shows that most people are unwilling to walk more than two hundred meters to shop. In one of the new giant malls this could be a problem. The walkways in malls can be made curved(弯曲的) or angled to hide their true length. Or they can be broken up by fountains(喷泉), art displays or any of those other things that you thought were just there to entertain you.
