The way that shopping malls were structurally laid out historically has changed. Constructed as a closed system usually with multiple levels, an open floor plan, mirrors, openings in floors, represents a design strategy from the 70’s that was a classic layout for shopping malls. This was to manipulate, confuse, and entrap the consumer for an extended period of time. These original malls of a larger scale have experienced a decline, ultimate removal, or transformation into more of a pedestrian oriented mixed-use facility that may include living, working, and policing.
