4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Source,
By Ali Tamer Bozoklar (M. Arch.) (Izmir Turkey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pedestrian Malls, Streetscapes and Urban Spaces (Paperback)
This book is a good source for the architects and developers who are in business for an open air shopping complex. It gives ideas and examples from different aspects such as development, feasibility analysis and design elements. Case studies include description, development strategy and design features of the project. Probably one of the most useful chapters is the comparative analysis of the examined cases from the points of cost/blocks, land user areas, benefits and degree of success. On the other hand, I think this book should be in color.
