Satirical design process for parking lot from @aka__vinnie

The creator satirically portrays the design process of the notoriously confusing Century City Mall parking lot. He starts with the simple premise of designing a parking lot and proceeds to draw an increasingly absurd, maze-like structure, explaining his nonsensical choices through voiceover, such as including a spot for a Minotaur, creating a confusing lighting system, and designing claustrophobically low ceilings.

Transcript excerpt

Alright. How fucking hard could it be to design a parking lot? Cars go in, cars go out. Let's do this. So here's the basic top down layout. I had this in a dream last night and I think this makes the most sense. Just follow the arrows and you'll find your way. Let's make things easy for people to find a parking spot. We'll put up a lighting system. Red means the parking spot is taken and green will mean, fucking maybe the parking spot's taken. I don't know. Okay. That that is where we're gonna keep the minotaur. So the mall upstairs has this nice open air feel. Let's fucking contrast that downstairs. The ceiling should comfortably fit a four year old boy and returning to your car should feel like you're walking into your own grave. Alright, well, let's just finish this up with a really simple color coded system to find your car and voila, that is definitely a parking lot.
