Saving space, reducing costs and a pleasant user experience – parking doesn’t get much better than this
Cityscapes around the world are changing, architects face the constant challenge of integrating parking space into new or existing real estate in densely built-up urban environments. While there is growing ambition to replace cars as prime mobility tool, we’re far from realizing this goal. Most downtown revitalizations today require structured parking. Where space is tight, access ramp or radius of a conventional parking garage may be hard to fit. Because robotic parking systems require neither of these nor access for pedestrians, they
