Retrofitting Deadmall

“Deadmall” and “Ghostbox” were once a shopping destination and the center of the community, but they are huge eyesores and have negative impact on the community. The project, “Retrofitting Deadmall” is suggesting how to revive vacant malls in the most efficient way by adding structures.

Alie Thomer
Waste Not, Want Not
Project description:
Trash is just the things we don't love anymore. Since resources aren't infinite, we should probably start considering a metaphoric marriage counseling. Objects should really be viewed as investments, made by hand and maintained for at least a lifetime, instead of just cast aside for the next new thing. Obviously, this doesn't apply in all cases, as you probably don't want to craft your own hypodermic needle and pass it down to your grandkids.

A box of crayons, brown paper, and a Beyonce/Kanye West/Daft Punk MEGAMIX.
What interests you besides design?
Insects, nature documentaries, bricks, dinosaurs, arguing about anything unimportant, dancing SO HARD, books by dead men, science that is easy to understand, and fables

Cartoons, mainly Batman: The Animated Series.
