Shanori Goosen- Canal Walk Blog 4

This is a photo of the Canal Walk Shopping Centre in Cape Town, South Africa. I have gone there a few years ago and this was a building that I found very interesting. This is one of the biggest shopping malls in the country and has some of the most expensive world wide brands and has a very beautiful view next to the water. Although I think the building has very pretty aspects, I do think that this building is confused on what style it wants to be. I can see very many influences but I can’t seem to find one definite path. There are arched windows with squared off windows and different styles of trim and domes mixed with squared off pillars. Although these styles do look beautiful independently I do think the designer of this building did not have a clear idea of what style they wanted to go with.
