#17 - triângulo/ triangle shopping center

Entrada do centro comercial triângulo. Dizia-se que seria um local moderno no centro da cidade, e pelo ambiente nos primeiros tempos tudo fazia pensar que se tratava realmente de um espaço de sucesso; porém com o passar dos anos este centro comercial caiu numa espécie de esquecimento e deterioração progressiva, encontrando-se actualmente um pouco degradado. Uma pena, pois para além de uma localização privilegiada, o triângulo tem também um estilo muito agradável e moderno.

Entrance of the triangle shopping center. It was said that would be a modern place downtown, and for the atmosphere in the first times everything made to think that if it would be indeed a successful space; however with passing of the years this shopping center fell in a type of forgetfulness and progressive deterioration, being nowadays a little degraded. A shame, because besides a privileged location, the triangle also has a very pleasant and modern style.

Unfortunately, I think this happens with a lot of places. We lived in Columbus, OH, and the city renovated one are and put in a huge shopping mall there, thinking that it would bring more people downtown. It didn't, and I think most of the stores closed within 5 or 6 years.

What I really think is that we are not "made" for shopping centers. Shopping centers are for rainy countries. We have lots of sun ... let's go shopping, yes, but in stores outdoor!! ;)

Yeap Chris, it happened the same with Triangulo shopping center...

Xana i agree with you, we have so much traditional stores and don't need shoppings that much :)
but it's a shame such a beautiful building in the center of the city a little "abandoned"...
