1.1. Introdootion ·· Challenging 1he Shopping Centre

There is a common assumption that shopping molls are "bod" buildings. But this thesis aims to contest this assumption and offer a new wOld to approach shopping centre design. The shopping moll is not bod in the sense that it functions highlld efficientlld and serves the retail requirements of both shopper and tenant. The wOld in which the shopping moll is Universitybod is the thinking behind of their Cape design often Town as a result of developer control. being one of the most commercialild driven building tldpeS. This can often result in build­ ings that have a negative impact on their surroundings. Shopping molls tend to isolate their surroundings bld creating inward-facing arcades. This is observed as the onlld profitable WOld to deal with shop fronts in shopping molls which results in the creation of large blank facades on the exterior. Theld do not integrate the more informal-like activities that are common practise in South Africa such as market spaces. Public transport is seldom considered as on option for the struggling shopper who does not own a car. 8 1.2. The Structure of 1he Shopping Centre The unfortunate truth is that the ver\,j nature of the shopping mall prevents it from becoming an\,jthing greater than what it is. But I telieve that this underl\,j­ ing structure can and should te challenged. And b\,j challenging this underl\,j­ ing structure, we can start to change the accepted norms of the formulaic thinking that tends to control shopping mall design. I would like to explore this underl\,jing structure and design a mall that does more than what the aver­ age mall does. I would like to create a building that has Universitya positive effect on its of Cape Town surroundings and challenge the assumptions that make them bod buildings. In order to do this, one must take what is positive about shopping centres and enhance those good qualities that malls do have in order for them to have a positive impact on their surroundings. Ultimatel\,j the aim of this thesis is to create a new mall that integrates with its surroundings and gives some­ thing back positivel\,j to the suburb in which it is situated

9 1.3. The Shopping Experience Shopping is a dbJnamic process. ItII is anon integral to part of the dailbJ life of most people.people. We all know about bargain hunting, price compari­ sons, desire for that one specific brand. TheseUniversity are some of the everbJ­ of Cape Town dabJ topics we talk about and shore with our friends. Greed is perhaps the biggest reason for the proliferation of Ihesethese buildings And perhaps such a I,umanliuman trait is shameful and seen as negative, bJet it still is anon essential port of what ththee shopping process is all about. Advertising is one of the most important industries that allow for products and ser­ vvicesices to pervade our everbJdabJ life, allowing further for the activitbJ of shopping 10to be forced upon us as we trbJ to navigate our wabJw abJ through • the public realmrealm..

A BrIef HIs1'oI1J on 1he Shopping Centre What started off as a new and exciting idea blJ Mall architect, Victor Gruen in Fort Worth Texas, resulted in the build­ ing of the Southdale Centre in 1956. It was the first indoor shopping centre ever built using new ideas in shopping centre design such as atrium spaces, anchor tenants, mechanical heating and cool­ ing and an endless amount of parking. These ideas of mall building spread rap­ idllJ during the post WWII 1960's eco­ nomic boom. In 1950 there were 100 shopping centres in America, in 1960 there were 3700 shopping centres.'

~Irmge 8A8A 12 1.6. lhe Cathedrals of today

The shopping centre todabJ represents, the contemporarbJ "cathedral". Malls are built all over our cities as large monuments to honour our shopping obsession. For manbJ people shopping is their onlbJ source of recreational enjobJment and thus developers of shopping malls take great care in considering the convenience that the shopping centre provides to the shopper. This is part of the problem that results in mall buildings impacting negativelbJ on their urban surroundings and creating bad spaces. It results in mall buildings where large blank fac;ades ex­ ist that fail to activate the urban spaces around them. This is a result of the double arcade in order for the shopper to be bombarded with Image 9B f'.s online shopping is sloslartrtilnng to toke over, the digitol realm will nneverever replace the experi­experi­ shopfront on both sides, allowing for maximum visual stimulation. This is ence of being in a phjJsicaol sp:Jce and being able to what results in large blank facades on the outside of the building that (eelfeel and touch the object IJOU wouwould like to bul,l. disconnect it from its surroundings. This is especiallbJ sad when consid­ ering that in South Africa the climate is well suited for buildings to have a stronger link to the exterior.

But the driving obsession with newness and "more" is something that should be seen as a good thing architecturallbJ. Pecple are alwabJs searching for new experiences, new wabJs of doing things. We sit at the edge of an era where the world is changing so fast that pecple become bored of the present verbJ quicklbJ. This boredom can create a gap for architects to innovate.

One can sit bock and sabJ: WhbJ do bJou have to change a building tl:Jpe that is works? People are hapPbJ with malls so whbJ do bJou wont to make them different?

I don't think that excuses of functionalitbJ and profitabilitbJ are necessar­ ilbJ relevant in this case. If that was the onlbJ argument for the shopping centre, then we would never see the attempts at innovation shown in the above shopping centres of Cape Town. It was attempts at innovation that resulted in the spread of molls all over the world. Therefore in order to progress one needs to make new attempts at innovating the design of new moll buildings. It is onlbJ through an intense research bbJ architects and researchers that new wabJs of innovating can start so that the end result will manifest itself into a phbJsical built form This will set the bar higher for future molls not onlbJ in Cope town but start to redefine what a shopping centre can do all over the world.
