Acculturating the Shopping Centre examines whether the shopping
centre should be qualified as a global architectural type that
effortlessly moves across national and cultural borders in the
slipstream of neo-liberal globalization, or should instead be
understood as a geographically and temporally bound expression of
negotiations between mall developers (representatives of a global
logic of capitalist accumulation) on the one hand, and local actors
(architects/governments/citizens) on the other. It explores how the
shopping centre adapts to new cultural contexts, and questions
whether this commercial type has the capacity to disrupt or even
amend the conditions that it encounters. Including more than 50
illustrations, this book considers the evolving architecture of
shopping centres. It would be beneficial to academics and students
across a number of areas such as architecture, urban design,
cultural geography and sociology.
