Brief
A high-end shopping centre where the architectural design can be compared to some of the customized life style items in the store.

Design Intent
The design approach to the complex integrates primarily a certain geometric sensibility in terms of inter relation between solid-transparency, recess-projection, as forces that generate a dynamic condition. The façade of the shopping centre is conceived as a crystallization of the implicit fields of movement that exist around the site.

Process
A grid was super imposed that gradually changed its angle of intersection with the perpendicular was super imposed on the facades wherein each face generated by the grid adhered to a rule of recess and projection to give a dynamic geometrical skin.
