Today, as T-COD Architecture, we would like to talk to you about shopping centers, one of the most important places that bring entertainment and shopping together today. Let's take a look at the shopping malls of Ankara, one of the most crowded cities in Turkey. We all love to shop. Our shopping habits are also changing with the developing technology. People's connection to the street is being broken with the shopping malls, which are seen as closed boxes. ARMADA Shopping and Business Center, one of the silhouette structures of Ankara, manages to break this perception. It offers shopping, entertainment and office buildings together with its form that creates the unity of street-inside-outside. The building welcomes its visitors with a square that meets the entrances of two shopping buildings on the pedestrian axis and an activity area. The building, which spreads over a very large area, is also liked by people with its design. The building in the form of a ship has also become one of the important city symbols in the architectural silhouette of Ankara. The building, which draws attention with its form, received the "Europe's Best Shopping Center" award in 2004. The shopping mall, which is also a social living space together with Hayat Street, also includes an office structure with a tower design whose facades are differentiated from each other. Let's talk about other iconic shopping malls of Ankara, such as Armada, which hosts a wide variety of shopping and entertainment life. The first of these is undoubtedly Atakule. Atakule, Ankara's first shopping center and Turkey's second shopping center, is one of the important structures that determine the silhouette of the city. Ankara is home to many shopping malls with its structures spread over wide areas such as Kentpark, Panora, Gordion and Cepa. While offering users the opportunity to shop in elite stores with its elliptical form, Armada, which brings all the energy, sparkle and fun of social life to its visitors on Hayat Sokağı and is designed as a business center with its office spaces at the same time, is becoming one of the important city symbols of Ankara.
