Going against the hermetic trend of most large shopping malls and culture centers, this open-air complex attempts to reintroduce important and varied public spaces into the city-dwellers lives.
Weaving an architectural language inspired by traditional rooftops, the interconnected buildings through their scale and organization define a spatial hierarchy of public spaces which can have various uses throughout the year.
The elegance and general openness of the project strives to reduce the sometimes crushing scale of the surrounding urban environment, and offer open squares and human-sized gardens for the users to enjoy.
