Modern architecture every year becomes more interesting and unusual. Architects and project investors have long understood - nothing is remembered and attracted visitors like the extraordinary appearance and internal content of the building. Most often, this principle is used in the construction of shopping centers, where high attendance is very important.
We give live examples the most unusual and attractive malls and shopping complexes from around the world.
Mall of america
At the very beginning of the list, it is best to mention one of the largest complexes located in the USA, Minnesota under the name "Mall of America". It impresses its visitors not only with its grandiose size, but also with an unusually rich infrastructure. Here you can see sports stadiums and mini-golf courses, parks, cinemas, attractions and other entertainment facilities.
In addition to all of the above, the shopping center has a huge number of stores of various kinds. Often, tourists come to the state on weekends only to spend several days in the mall.
Dubai mall
The next amazing commercial building is the Dubai Mall, located naturally in Dubai. The mall is very popular for a number of reasons. Firstly, it includes almost a thousand stores. Secondly, its attraction is the aquarium, which was inscribed in the Guinness Book of Records due to its gigantic size, as well as the rich variety of its marine inhabitants.
The third reason, which forces thousands of visitors to the shopping center to flock daily, is the observation deck of the Burj Dubai skyscraper, the highest in height, from which a view of the whole city opens.
Mall of the Emirates
Another Dubai shopping attraction is the Mall of the Emirates. Its highlight is the availability of an indoor ski resort located directly on the territory of the mall.
Canal city
Architects from many countries offer very interesting solutions to shopping malls that use artificial beaches and ponds as their main idea. A vivid example of the realization of such an idea can be called the Canal city shopping center, which is located in Japan. The layout of his building is divided by a water channel, which has beautiful bending lines and recreational areas that mimic the picturesque promenade.
All described shopping complexes have huge territories and high daily attendance, which creates considerable difficulties in their operation. Today, exclusively professional equipment is used to keep public buildings clean, as maintenance personnel are not able to cope with the set volumes manually.
