Effective Elements and Interior Typologies in the Public Space Construction of Shopping Centers

Abstract

Shopping centers, which respond differently to today's sociality and daily life, are accepted as the new faces of public spaces. It has the discourse of being an alternative to the city center that brings people together, connects time and space, and intertwines activity formations with the activities/actions offered. While the urban model setup is used against the problem of large-scale building solution under a single roof/cover, it brings together the urban spaces scattered in the city and gives the human communication/interaction process with entertainment culture. In this study, the differentiated interior types of shopping centers in the physical context are removed, and the intensity of use and supported objects/elements are determined specific to the focus spaces. In the social context, the spatial continuity of the existing public space phenomenon in the city in the common use areas (foci) of shopping centers is evaluated through subjective perception. With globalization, publicity and influential elements are discussed and discussed on shopping centers with different thematic interiors designed for consumption.
