Product Description
Review
"What distinguishes this book is its depth and historical sweep, instructive detail and lavish illustrations, topicality and abundance of case studies. The author, an architect and urban designer, writes with the authority and clarity of a professional who has to explain how things work to politicians and the public. He has the knack of turning what could easily baffle and bore readers with technical information into readable, comprehensible, useful detail. Wherever it may land, the book should appeal to all the design disciplines involved in creating a shopping center. Developer clients would find it a useful read as well."

Product Description
Shopping centers have become the most common of shopping environments and have influenced the make-up of cities around the world. However, in recent years, the enclosed "mall" has evolved and diversified with new types of retail environments that were developed to better suit their locale and meet public expectation.
This design guide has over 600 illustrations that present the core values and considerations that make a successful retail center: location, catchment user needs, as well as access and layout. Covering everything from site master planning to the essentials of public facilities and the technical systems, this is essential reading for architects of contemporary shopping centers.
A series of international examples showcasing different types of shopping environments are included to cover the wide range of designs that have occurred in recent years. From the "out of town" mall to retail parks and mixed use town center developments, the best of contemporary design is illustrated to provide both practical information and inspiration.
* A unique and inspirational guide to shopping centre design
* An international range of illustrations explore the key contemporary issues in retail design and planning

If it didn't exist, it would be necessary to create this book,

This review is from: Shopping Environments: Evolution, Planning and Design (Hardcover)
Peter Coleman, specialist retail architect at design house Building Design partnership, was originally commissioned by Architectural Press to update and revise Nadine Beddington's original "bible for shopping centres". What in fact he has produced is a completely rewritten work to create a new and arguably better and more comprehensive book covering all types of shopping environment.
Throughout the new work, Coleman moves from the universal to the particular, from the general to the detailed. From overviews of all types of shopping outlets, plus shopping habits, he moves to detailed analyses of the design and planning of the various modern types of shopping malls. The book is organised into three sections. Section 1 looks at a range of key issues, what Coleman calls "the big issues", influencing shopping environments, including the human issues - the way we shop and why - together with planning issues and economic issues. Section 2 takes a step back into history and provides a walk-through of the evolution of the shopping environment, the various types of shopping venue from ancient times up to the beginnings of the true shopping centre. Section 3 then goes into the design and planning details of the types of shopping centre available today. The final chapter looks at the future of shopping. Such is the universality and broad sweep of Coleman's work, this book is a must for qualified retail designers and students alike.

I have ordered this book and unfortunately received a black and white cheap version of the book and had to return it. I was advised by customer support that all the remaining two copies in stock are the same B&W copies. The book itself must be great, the item however is not at least until new color copies would be in stock.

an exceptional work,
By Sukru Aslanyurek - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shopping Environments: Evolution, Planning and Design (Hardcover)
The author has displayed a full knowledge of appropriate methodology and comprehensive approach to the subject.
Although the content is limited to the UK case, the book is full of overwhelming information for an expert who wants to compare the cases with other developments elsewhere. It is an example of "country study" for the shopping centre industry that should be repeeated by other writers in other markets. It could have been useful to have a c0-author specializing onthe economics-marketing side of the subject. Dr Sukru Aslanyurek |
