TI - Shopping center as an entertainment and recreational center based on selected objects in Poland
AB - 
	Since the mid-90s of the twentieth century, shopping centers found their place also in the landscape of Polish cities. Their forms and function changes over time following the global trends and varying customer needs. Many of these objects are not only inscribed permanently in the city landscape, but also created added value, spirit of place (genius loci). Some have become a magnet for locals and tourists. Taking as an example Manufaktura in Łódź, Mokotów Gallery in Warsaw and Silesia in Katowice I would like to show that a shopping center can be a vivid center of residential district or neighborhood full of social functions. And it accommodates a wide range of entertainment and recreational as well as cultural and educational programs, such as art galleries, cinema, aquariums, planetariums, water parks, climbing walls, discos, bowling alleys etc. All under one roof in a secure, air-conditioned, carefully arranged space. All that is consistent with the plan of the mall creator Victor Gruen, for whom malls should imitate the atmosphere of the city, and the shopping was to do by the way.
