SHOPPING MALL
A shopping center is a complex of retail stores end related facilities planned as a unified group to give maximum
shopping convenience to the customer and maximum exposure to the merchandise .
It had a two-level enclosed and ventilated mall lined with open-fronted shops startlingly similar to today's most
upto-date concept .
TYPES OF SHOPPING MALL
Neighbourhood Centre (Suburban)
This is a row of stores customarily (but not always) in a strip, or line, paralleling the highway and with parking between the
line of storefronts and the highway .Ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 sq ft of space.A few of the newer of these centres have
their retail units clustered around an enclosed "mini-mall .“
Intermediate or Community-Size Center
This also is usually a strip of stores but substantially larger than the neighborhood center and usually containing a so-called
"junior“ department store as the major unit. The parking pattern is normally similar to that of the neighbourhood center.
Regional Centre (Suburban)
This contains one to four department stores plus 50 to 100 or more satellite shops and facilities, all fronting on an
internal pedestrian mall, or shopping walkway. Parking completely surrounds the building group so that all stores
face inward to the mall with their "backs" to the parking.
Renewal Projects (Downtown)
Two or more shopping levels, of department stores, shops of all sorts ,restaurants, etc . The multilevel malls may
connect directly or by bridges to other shopping facilities, hotels, office buildings, theatres, and parking garages .
Because of high land costs, all parking is normally multideck and can be above, below, or, better, laterally contiguous
to the shopping facilities

RAMPS
LANDSCAPE
The design of space between buildings is as important as that of the buildings themselves.
The design of external spaces outside and between buildings ,whether urban or rural, public or
private, covers a wide variety of elements and requires considerable knowledge of the location ,
materials and construction ,All too often parsimony results in schemes which are unsatisfactory
both aesthetically and practically.
Basic human dimensions:
The space requirements of people outside buildings are generally similar to those inside.
A family group of six people on a lawn or terrace occupy a rough circle 4 m diameter becomes 6 m,
which is the minimum useful size .
Walkways:
Full physical ability is a temporary condition.
Most people become less than fully mobile at some time , perhaps carrying shopping or parcels;
pregnancy ; a sprained ankle ;a dizzy spell ; a broken high- heeled shoe; or just the normal course of
ageing.
Circulation routes should be planned bearing this in mind , integrating a design that is both facilities
