The speech, titled “Trends in European Shopping Mall design”, offered the opportunity to Massimo Roj to remember the main rule of end users in the architectural design: the people who really live that places. Accordingly to the Progetto CMR’s philosophy, that always put the man at the centre by integrating useful and usable architectures on human scale, with Urban environmental respect and local cultures.
