Gómez Morín Mall

This typology is challenging, as it tends to damage its surroundings with an empty architecture that is commonly reduced to a façade management. This is the antithesis of the objective of the project in question. The project is properly woven into the context and contributes, from its limited capacity, to the public space. Likewise, the early obsolescence of this typology is understood and it is decided to have structures with high adaptability to change use when necessary.

The complex groups shops in two buildings that open onto three streets through vegetated squares, being universally accessible and fostering a constant link with the pedestrian and the sidewalk. Taking advantage of the unevenness of the land, it is possible to have two ground floors that contain the access of the car and mitigate its relationship with the immediate context.

These short floors are visually light and permeable, while the tall plants are more solid with running windows. There is thus a sensation of two cantilevered volumes, although it is supported by a slender steel grid.
