AMIBARA COLOSSEUM PROPOSAL
Inspired by Rome’s iconic Colosseum, this groundbreaking mixed-use development reimagines classical amphitheater design for contemporary urban life. The mall’s elliptical layout mirrors the Colosseum’s grandeur, creating dynamic sightlines and seamless visitor flow while fostering exploration. Elegant arches, stone-concrete-glass façades, and soaring atriums channel timeless Roman engineering, flooding interiors with natural light and ensuring enduring resilience. Beyond retail, the design prioritizes social vitality: tiered dining terraces overlook bustling plazas, while a central "arena" hosts markets and performances, echoing the Colosseum’s communal spirit. A seamless glass-enclosed plaza bridges indoor and outdoor experiences, enhancing connectivity through grand archways and landscaped courtyards.
