Ok- for whatever reason when traveling we always wind up at a mall. We could look at it in a low-brow way and say its due to our innate consumerism – or high-brow and look at it as the apex of a cultures economic stature.
Whichever view you take, the Kanyon Mall is worth a visit purely for it’s architecture -courtesy of Jerde Partnership and Tabanlioglu Architects. It is an open air experience with multitudes of shapes and voids that create dynamic visual experience. It is definitely sci-fi movie set worthy.
Embedded in a large modern office and residential complex, Kanyon is a destination for local luxury shopping. While there, you can grab one a the an excellent bite at their incarnation of the House Cafe.
