victor gruen, an american architect, revoluntionized shopping in the 1950s by creating the type of shopping centre that we now call a shopping mall. gruen's aim was to provide a pleasant, quiet and spacious shopping environment with large car parks, which usually meant building in the suburbs. he also wanted people to be able to shop in all kinds of weather. he insisted on using building designs that he knew people would feel comfortable with, but placed them in landscaped 'streets' that were entirely enclosed and often covered with a curved glass roof. this was done to imitate some of the older shopping arcades of city centres, but while these housed only small speciality shops, gruen's shopping malls were on a much grander scale. access to the whole shopping mall was gained by using the main doors, which parted the shopping 'streets' from the parking areas outside. as there was no need to keep out bad weather, shops no longer needed windows and doors, and people could wander freely from shop to shop. in many cities, shopping malls now contain much more than just shops, cinemas, restaurants and one forms of entertainment are also growing in popularity
