The pools of water that extends along the plate will have commercial as well as ornamental value with function of reducing the temperature of the area, to promote sociability and offer the opportunity to perform the technical installation requirements for fire prevention.
In terms of distribution, the format of this design retail park revises the rule of the loop distribution, transforming the traditional malls circuit forced and imposed into a system of trails open to visitors. In addition, the model of the large outdoor plaza of outlets often impersonal and devoid of identity is reinterpreted in a different system of squares that receive the most intensive social activities [food, entertainment, temporary shops, etc..]
The critical mass of small buildings exceeds its commercial complex of inferiority towards the block of large and medium-sized sales organizations settle all their business activities within a large plate isolated from the urban environment as close as
through a system of embankments planted. The large amount of green, unlike typical malls and outlets, characterizes the design retail park as a haven in which to stop and spend their time pleasantly.
