“After we resolved a number of challenges, we focused on the experience itself. On each level, you have access to the restaurants located along the valley-facing side and they all have open terraces. You also have access to direct views via the atrium. So you have a constant connection to the land and anyone in the mall always has a sense of place.” LACASA’s Atef Khedhir explains the process behind designing the experience of the Mall of Palestine مول فلسطين التجاري in this month’s Middle East Architect DesignMENA.
