Introduction

I would like to start this article with a request to the readers for some feedback or even better a discussion: “What do you think about panoramic lifts in shopping centres?”

The reason to encourage feedback and a discussion will become clear in this article. I am not convinced that panoramic lifts are very important for a shopping centre today. Some shopping centre experts, however, would not want to build any mall without a panoramic lift . "Elevator" and "Lift" are referring to the same mechanical device of moving things upwards - mostly vertically, though there are also "lifts" around that can move at angles or even side-ways.

What are a Panoramic Lifts?

A panoramic lift is a usually a fully glassed lift in a prominent location of any building on the inside or the outside. Panoramic lifts have featured in many films and are highly visible elements on the outside of the Lloyds building in London to name just one of many landmarks.
