This is Kanyon Shopping Mall in Istabul, Turkey. The place reminded me so much of Pavilion in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. The only difference is that people who come to this mall here are well dressed and attired, I like that.We were all in awe by the magnificence of this building; it is spectacular to say the least. Thus, it is not surprising when I later learned that Kanyon had won the 2006 Cityscape Architectural Review Award in the "Commercial Built" category, during a ceremony which was held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, on 4 December 2006.
The tight security that comes with this building just makes it more comfortable for us to spend our time wondering for nothing in this building. We felt important (ehmmm…..). By the way on the same day and time that we were wondering aimlessly in the comfort of the securities, a suicide bombing was taking place just about 70 meters for Kanyon. We only get to know about the incident when we were back in our hotel room.
I hope someday the people here will appreciate what they have as compared to many others who could only dream of walking in such dramatic architecture.
