Westfield, London

I don't like the claustrophobic feeling created by shopping malls, but the design of Westfield makes it better than most. It was first drawn to my attention by Channel 4's 'The Secret Life of Buildings', which focussed on the design of the ceiling. As well as providing plenty of natural light, the curved structure and triangular panels cause dappling light which creates a glittering effect and encourages shoppers to keep looking around.
