MALL CAPSULE
A Project by the FIRST WORLD CAMP

Shopping mall is one of the most frequent spots of daily migration. It is regulated with very specific and limited program (consumption), simulating features of public space and city such as meeting points, streets, squares and performing events. The only missing element for life in shopping malls is a sleeping/dwelling unit.With hotels or apartments you wouldn’t need to leave shopping mall.
Shopping mall is privately owned space with public function. It is a non-place (Auge) developing and redeveloping itself into capsule based on inclusion. As Jon Jerde wrote on University City Walk he designed: "The only things kept out of this simulation are real poverty, crime and unplanned spontaneity."
