Arab Saudi Design interior mall

Victor Gruen, an architect from Vienna, was asked by a friend in 1939 to design a leather-goods store in New York. Southdale used a unique new design feature: previously, shopping centers used an extroverted style, with store windows and entrances facing the parking area and interior pedestrian aisles. Unlike other shopping centers, Southdale was introverted: the exterior walls were blank with all activity focused on the inside. Suburban shopping centers had always been in the open, with stores connected by outdoor passageways. Gruen had the idea of putting the whole complex under one roof, with air-conditioning for the summer and heat for the winter – it was a visionary concept for a developer, and created significant positive changes for retailers and developers.

The absolute best design feature of Woodville Mall is its center court.  The walls surrounding the warehouse-style high ceilings have been painted in shades of periwinkle and light blue with a stippling technique to mimic the sky.  Furthering the sky illusion, several large “clouds” hang from the ceiling suspended in mid air.  Back on the ground, there are all these rows of inappropriate-looking, tall, purple bars with white latticework on top.  I have no idea what they are.  There is also an elevated gazebo made with the same purple bars and it has a white latticework roof.  At least I could figure out what that was.  In addition to all that, there are all these random white tables and chairs strewn about on the ground that don’t seem to be used, but I suppose it’s better than having nothing there at all.

This 1989 picture of the mall perfectly illustrates the mall’s interior design during the Carousel Era. Pictuer courtesy of Greensboro News & Record. As you can see, the mall’s main color was lime green and unpictured pink. The columns were made of mirror and included baby blue lights at the top.

The 1990s were a period of steady decline for Universal Mall, culminating with an occupancy rate of less than 40 percent by the end of the decade as shoppers preferred Oakland Mall and other super-regional competitors to Universal Mall’s value-oriented and local retailers.  In 1997, Woolworths closed up shop nationwide, leaving a large vacancy in the northern part of the mall.  In 1999, the entire Crowley’s chain went under and the store, which was a Detroit mainstay for decades, was replaced with Value City in 2000.  In 1999 and 2000, mini-anchor stores A.J. Wright and Burlington Coat Factory opened in the mall as well, with Burlington replacing the dead Woolworths.  So far, so good.
