Shopping Malls Not Below Libeskind's "Dignity"
The Westside Shopping and Leisure Centre, a 1.5-million-square-foot facility in Bern, Switzerland, was designed by Studio Daniel Libeskind. The mall opened on October 8. “Architects for a long time thought malls were below their dignity,” Libeskind says. “But if you bring nature and culture into the building, you can make it a radically different place."
