The spaces of contemporary commerce share both a condition of being external to the compact city and characteristics of morphological and formal uniformation that render them absolutely a-contextual and non-urban objects. The planning experiment presented here seeks to restore form and proportionality to a shopping mall on the outskirts of the city of Pavia through a strategy based on the structures and scales of the historic city. The interaction and cross-fertilisation between the pre-set model and the specific conditions of the site generate a built system of formal complexity and diversity based on the urban block and on a system of hierarchical layouts that mediate the transition from the geographical island to its urban counterpart.
Keywords: Shopping mall; historic city; block
