In this preliminary design study, the client was an existing tenant of a traditional shopping mall, who wanted to take advantage of an impending conversion into an outdoor mall by creating a new main entry and an outdoor seating area adjacent to one of the new paths of travel. In my solution, the path is marked by paving joints that increase in regularity, drawing the pedestrain toward the main entry. The joints intersect the surrounding walls which are rendered in a three-tiered relief. The relief is reinforced with color tone changes.
