I was at this latest opened mall in KK over the weekend and one thing that struck me was another design flaw in the building. I just don't get it. KK is a seaside city and as such it is naturally hot, as in high temperatures during the day. When designing public spaces or buildings like a mall, one thing that should be considered is air conditioning. People come to malls to patronise the shops and not to enjoy the scorching sun. Ideally, the malls should be in an enclosed area with air-conditioning. There are a few other commercial development which do not take this into consideration. Like this one and this one. At least, the mall I went to is a bit further inland. The others are in the city centre and by the sea. What were the architects thinking?
