Theses considerations
“Our modern built environment drains joy from our lives”: People in this shopping centre are observed to be either passing by in a rush or shopping without much joy especially when they are waiting for somebody.
“Public spaces are anti-social spaces”: It is hard to find any social installation in this shopping centre.
