WESTFIELD LONDON London, United Kingdom

Westfield London is London’s newest retail destination and Europe’s largest urban shopping center. It is comprised of a mixed-use development including housing leisure and civic facilities, as well as retail. With a distinctive mix and match of designer and high-end labels, Westfield London is not only the largest shopping center in London, but offers one of the best shopping experiences in the region.

Designed to convey the intriguing interplay between water and light, the most striking feature is the undulating glass roof, which is made up of thousands of solid clear panels. These have been carefully positioned to maximize natural light as the sun moves throughout the day, creating a spacious, airy environment wherever you happen to be. The central atrium is the size of a football pitch, with 16-metre wide walls fashioned from marble with decorative swirls of granite and an exclusive, boutique-style enclave devoted to luxury brands, all combine to create a trulycaptivating experience.

“Westfield...has

created a truly

CENTRO OBERHAUSEN Oberhausen, Germany

Located in the Ruhr area of Oberhausen, which was also named the European Capitol of Culture for 2010, Centro Oberhausen wanted to launch an initiative directed at promoting the cultural education of young school children and raising funds for a children’s charity. The timing of the '”CentrO Goes Rizzi” campaign coincided with the 60th anniversary of pop artist James Rizzi, so the center transformed its entire Central Dome into a Rizzi masterpiece with more than 450 exhibits. The campaign brought the arts and culture to millions of art-inexperienced shoppers, involved 10,000 school children in a painting contest and generated 100,000 Euros in charity money for Germany’s most well-known children’s charity.
