Shopping mall design is one of the urban typologies more determined<br />

by the commercial, functional and fi nancial demands of<br />

the programme. Usually these buildings replicate an idealized<br />

in-door city with space-<strong>for</strong>ms that tend to absolute convention.<br />

This <strong>shopping</strong> <strong>centre</strong> aims to introduce the notion of a city that is<br />

transient, hybrid and in a permanent state of trans<strong>for</strong>mation. The<br />

building has a typical twin-mall layout with anchor stores on the<br />

edges. However, a quasi-mineral shape <strong>for</strong>ms the heart with its<br />

storefronts irregularly carved out, and an immense ETFE spaceframe<br />

dome covering the mall.<br />
