In an environment lacking public spatiality, where there is no concentration of public services or administrative centrality of social-market benchmark; where uses obey more the spontaneous settlement of an asynchronous urban structure, in a natural administrative node where five parishes of two municipalities converge, and surrounded by major roads and communications, lies the Grand Bazaar San Francisco.

The work is a gesture of urban conciliation with itself and its context, away from the typical solutions of implementing the big “mall type” building in the center of the plot surrounded by parking.

The inside of the mall slides out as a receptor of public square. For this reason the parking is in a basement, releasing more linear storefront; and by being set back from the road, it generates a large square of more than 3.800m2 (40.903sf).
