A few exteriors



The Mall is a sprawling complex which has a minimal facade and structure common in the style of the 1970s. The buildings enormity is only enhanced by the absence of cars and people during the week. The details of the building that have worn over the years are seem to drop away when it is viewed from certain angles. Its prestigious design still speaks out toward a society and future that seems to have simply vanished or chosen a different path than the reality we exist in. Although the exterior is static and stoic; the interior is beging to speak out and redefine what the exterior has said to the world for the last thirty years. Each day the mall is changng and being purposed to house a few stores and an ever expanding number of Churches. There are about twenty spaces that have been atlered to allow the retail stores to become places of public assembly and worship. The Churches all exists along side each other and the empty stores. The empty stores are in the majority but it doesn't seem unlikely that that will change.
