Description
Anna Beata Háblová's book discusses shopping centers, their architectural development, and the role they play in contemporary society and within the urban structure of the city. A well-informed and educated explanation is combined here with a very readable form, complemented by witty illustrations. Despite the lightness of the text, the publication Cities of Walls clearly points out the seriousness of the problem that shopping centers have introduced into the urban organism and urban life. A shopping center is not just one of many building types, but a phenomenon that reveals many essential features of contemporary civilization. However, the author's critique of shopping centers is not one-sided - she understands that shopping centers are and will be part of our urban environment and that we need to seek ways to design them more considerately towards the surrounding urban fabric.
