The commission of a shopping centre poses a unique challenge for architects, who must distill the essence of commercial design while simplifying visitor circulation and aligning with retailers. This delicate balance requires a comprehensive project that encompasses architectural details alongside a playful exploration of volumes and light. The goal is to create a cohesive environment that functions as a single store, complete with its own ergonomic and aesthetic identity, while dynamically guiding visitor flows and connections. This survey showcases 61 architecturally impressive shopping malls from around the globe, including notable locations such as The Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, Bluewater in Kent, Liverpool One, ION Orchard in Singapore, Crystals in Las Vegas, i-Square in Hong Kong, Bruun's Gallery in Denmark, Hamburger Meile, and The Mall of Kuwait. For architects, it serves as a valuable reference for commercial design; educators and students will find it a rich sourcebook; insightful businesspeople can discover elements that enhance shopping mall environments; and culturally curious individuals can explore the evolution of malls over nearly fifteen centuries, dating back to the first mall, Souq Al Hamdia, in Old Damascus.
