RULE THE (M)ALL - a protection order for the rural mall

With a focus on the mall as an important meeting place in the local community,
“RULE THE(M)ALL” is a diploma project that explore the typology of the rural mall through the lens of cultural heritage.


Our approach is based on empirical research done through a field trip, as well as theoretical and archival research. We mapped a section of malls across Norway in the urban and architectural scale, then exploring one mall in particular through model making and using regulations as arhictectural tools.
