Works08It was important to increase the area of exclusive occupancy of the stores in the commercial establishments, but it was also recognized that simply providing overlapping “target spaces” would not by itself create vitality. To get people to spend long periods of time here, it was essential to create a space that would “stop people in their tracks” with comfortable nooks, places for browsing, locations where you can see all the way through the entire complex from different angles and so on. An effort was made to use architectural techniques to provide vertical connections between these places to create an environment with significant public value.
