LA 404 Capstone Project
Case Study of the Muncie Mall, Muncie, IN
This study aims to develop an effective and sustainable design solution to contrast the rapid decline in mall-based retail business for the Muncie Mall in Muncie Indiana. The Muncie Mall has thrived throughout the 1970’s and well through 80’s and 90’s. Unfortunately, due to newer market trends and the introduction to online shopping, malls across the United States have been in rapid decline starting as early as the 2000s (Moccia 232). This project will focus on determining economic, sustainable, and community-oriented opportunities for development of the mall for residence within the Muncie community.
