Mário,

Items #1 and #2 of your answer are obvious to me and I fully agree with them.
As for item #3 tough, I have the impression that in the cases of Mediterranean Cosmos and Pantheon Plaza, where it snows in winter and it is very hot in summer, there are terrible energy inefficiencies on the HVAC system in the mall – would it be a misperception of mine?

Another issue is that all tenant shop units must have facades and doors prepared for an open street – in the case of Gli Orsi many did not think on that, despite reportedly having been told that it would be an open-air scheme.

  1. That is correct. The only way for the tenants to compensate for the extreme weather conditions would be (1) to build the envelop of the shops like a street shop or (2) to increase te usage of heating or cooling devices. In real life, even in street shops, the amount of glass wall exposed to the streets implies that solution 2 is the most common in order not to loose visibilty and commercial impact.
