INTRODUCTON
Greek Agora...
The Agora was a central spot in
ancient Greek city-states.
The Agora was an open ‘‘place of assembly’’ in
ancient Greek city-states. Mumford (1961) states
that the most important function of the agora
was place for daily communications and formal
and informal assembly.
The word Agora is Greek for 'open place of
assembly’ and, early in the history of Greece,
designated the area in the city where free-born
citizens could gather to hear civic
announcements, muster for military campaigns
or discuss politics. Later the Agora defined the
open-air, often tented, marketplace of a city (as
it still does in Greek) where merchants had their
shops and where craftsmen made and sold their
wares. The original Agora of Athens was located
below the Acropolis near the building.

INTRODUCTON
Forum (Roman)...
The Roman Forum is a small open rectangle
surrounded by the ruins of ancient government
buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens
of the ancient city referred to this marketplace as
the Forum, a marketplace, along with the buildings
used for shops and the stoas used for open stalls.
A stoa is a public space protected from the sun and rain, it was an ideal place for social
life of Mediterranean cities; sometimes also meet business functions, staying trading
posts.

SHOPPING MALL...
INTRODUCTON
19th century shops...
For wealthy women shopping was a popular pastime in the 19th century. In the late 19th
century shopping arcades were built in many British towns. Also in the late 19th century
department stores became common. In the early 20th century chain stores also became
common although many shops were still family owned.
Modern time shops...
A shopping mall is a term, in which one or more buildings form a complex
of shops representing merchandisers with interconnecting walkways that enable customers to
walk from unit to unit.

SHOPPING MALL... 6.
COLUMN SPACING
Significant dimension is along the mall as this involves the widths, i.e. , frontages,
of stores.
Often used spaces are 20, 25 and 30 ft., with the last the most flexible .
STORE DEPTHS
Buildings are usually 120 to 140 ft deep, sometimes more to accommodate larger
stores .
If there are basements or mezzanines, the depth dimension usually can be
reduced 20 to 25 percent
CLEAR HEIGHTS
These vary from 10 to 14 ft. or more, with 12 Ft. a good average . Above this clear
height, there must be adequate space for air conditioning ducts, recessed lights,
structural e system, etc.
PARKING AND TRAFFIC
A ratio of between 5 and 6 car spaces per 1,000 sq. ft. of leasable store area is
mandatory.
In the matter of parking layout, car stalls can be set at angles (say, 70‘ to the lanes,
which then requires one-way traffic; or stalls can be at 90' to the lanes, permitting
two-way traffic.

These dimensions apply particularly to shops in 100
percent retail districts .
Basements 8 to 9 ft high, in the clear, permit
economical stock storage .
Ground floors are preferably approximately 12 ft
high If no mezzanine is included ; mezzanines at least
7 ft6 inch above floor level will accommodate most
fixture heights.
Height from mezzanine floor to ceiling may be as low
as 6 ft6 in . if used for service space only ; 7 ft is the

SHOW CASES AND SHELVING DATA
The ratio of sales to ancillary space ranges from about
45:55 in small shops and departmental stores to 60:40
in supermarkets.
Planning
Halls are usually designed to give a large-span open
space having
natural roof lighting, good ventilation and service
connections.
One-floor trading is preferred.
Perimeter stalls and other grouped layouts have
service corridors.
Fish, meat and food stalls are sited in zoned areas
with more sophisticated ventilation, drainage and
services.
Key considerations:
Access and linkage to car parks, shopping areas,
goods delivery and parking bays.
 Mix of traders.
 Risk of fire (incombustible materials, fire-resistant
construction smoke evacuation)and means of escape.

escape routes against ingress of smoke, especially in
high-rise buildings. In pressurization, air is injected
into the staircases, lobbies or corridors, to raise their
pressure slightly above the pressure in adjacent parts
of the building. As a result, ingress of smoke or toxic
gases into the escape routes will be prevented. The
pressurization of staircases shall be adopted for high
rise buildings and building having mixed occupancy/
multiplexes having covered area more than 500 m2.
ARRANGEMENT OF EXITS
Exits shall be so located that the travel, distance
on the floor shall not exceed the distance of 30m. In
case of all mercantile building.

Chilled beams are
predominantly used for cooling
and ventilating spaces, where a
good indoor environment and
individual space control is
valued. Chilled beams use water
to remove heat from a room
and are located in the room
space.
Chilled beams are primarily
used in locations where the
humidity can be controlled.
Chilled beam also supplement
the flexible use of available
space, at the same time as the
high temperature cooling
and low temperature heating
maximizing the opportunity for
free cooling and heating.
Operation of the chilled beams
is used where the internal

SERRAMAR PAQUE SHOPPING MALL...
LITERATURE STUDY
Architect: Aflalo and Gasperini Architects
Location:Caraguatatuba, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Built Area: 30,3033 sqm.
Site Area: 119,000 sqm.
Year ; November, 2011
This shopping mall is all accommodated on one floor. This is important
to note since shoppers and mall visitors have a tendency to avoid vertical
movements and hence facilities/shops on upper levels do not get as much
use as those in the lower levels.
This also removes the challenge of disabled visitors having to be
accommodated on the upper levels.
INTRODUCTION
The proposal was to develop a mall to meet tourists and also the population of
Caraguatatuba and neighboring cities in the north coast of São Paulo.
The Serramar Shopping mall has ;
• 100 stores, including anchors, megastores and satellite stores .
• Hypermarket.
• Home center.
• food court with fast networks food and restaurants,

SITE PLAN
BUILDING VIEW WITH
RESPECT TO SURROUNDING.
 This shopping mall is located in Caraguatatuba, a seaside town
in São Paulo state, Brazil
 The proposal for this project was to develop a mall for tourists
and also for the residents in the Northern Coast of Sao Paulo
State.
 Caraguatatuba being a coastal city, the first aspect considered
in the design was its location. The land on which it is built was
an undeveloped region of the city with front for a boulevard
and an extra 600 meters offset from the sea.
 The stream, located next to the project was expanded, making
it a pleasant contemplation area to the green.
 The fact of being in a seaside town with large arid, treeless
area

SITE PLAN
•The provision of four entrances into the mall ensures that there is no congestion at anygiven entrance.
•Most of the entrances face the parking, while only one faces the main road .
•This is because of the fact that most people visit shopping mall in cars and hence, most of the traffic is
•Expected the mall from the parking lot. Reduces the distance of walking from their car to the inside of the mall.
•Visitors on foot don’t have to go all the way to the parking in order to access the mall, as they can branch off
the main road and access it directly from here.
•An open space integrated with nature concept was
adopted, different from the concept of a closed mall.
•An opened ground floor mall with planted wooded
courtyards was developed to compliment and
highlight the beach climate.

CIRCULATION
•The external circulation at Serramar is dynamic and interesting,
due to arrangement of the building blocks of the mall.
•Decks are provided throughout the planted internal squares
between the blocks for navigation and these decks are shaded by
bamboo louvers.
•Internally, each block houses a specific function, and thus
circulation is provided specifically for that
•block according to its function.

Decks provided for circulation
in the planted areas
•We opted for a nonclimate of the corridors, only mechanical
ventilators to enhance air circulation. The only air-conditioned
areas are the food court and shops. We use bamboo louvers to
shade and protect better the circulation areas. The yellowish
color of bamboo, along with the wood tones found in internal
squares were inserted to have a more intimate Atmosphere.
Recreational Facilities
There are four cinemas, a food court and indoor play
areas.
Apart from these, the mall has a landscaped area where
patrons can take walks, sit down and relax as they
take in the views of the mountains and stream to the
North of the mall.
Several view areas have been provided as points to take
in the views in the landscaped area.
However, the indoor play areas and the cinemas don’t
require the views and this explains their placement in
the design. The recreational activity in these two areas
takes place within only.

deck that allows a pleasant contemplation of space to
the mountains, and also to a stream.
FOOD COURTS
Food court outdoor deck sitting
All the food areas have been set at the North end of the
mall.This is because the best views of this site are
towards this direction where the mountains and the
stream are visible. Thus, one is able to relax in the
food zone as they dine or drink and this doubles as a
recreational activity.
ducts 60 cm height in the center of the gardens capture the
air as underground ducts carry air to each of the installed
totems in courtyards. The design of these totems is designed
so that the air flow does not reach the people at face level.
The air movement speed is not high enough to cause
discomfort, but sufficient to cause the cooling sensation of
the body. In yards, the ventilation ducts are buried inside the
concrete boxes with an opening for air intake above the
ground level.
