Issue Statement
The conflict of Shopping Mall’s Function and the way People Utilizing it By cross compare of the Relationship Mapping and the definition of perceived space, conceived space and lived space of Shopping Mall it is clearly to see the politic relationship is happening and causing the debate of shopping mall being a third space or not. Even though Shopping Mall is declared as third place and a replacement of public space but physically and consciously do not fulfill its function as a public space when serving the community. Its main purpose of exist is a tool for profit. Every detail of shopping mall architecture is consumerism driven, Hence we can conclude that consciously the imagination (Conceived Space) of Shopping Mall is not parallel to the imagination (Lived Space of public space.
