The ETFE roof was subjected to solar study modelling , which revealed specific hot spots along the length of the mall . The diagrid design pattern on the roof responded to the hot spots in the solar model . “ The white Novofoil pattern was specifically placed on the roof design where the most shading was required to the mall below , with the translucent Novofoil placed in areas in between to form the diagrid pattern . The combination of white and translucent ETFE panels may appear to be randomly designed but , in fact , the random pattern we designed is used as a shading device ,” she explains .
Mall Interiors Throughout the Mall , shop fronts feature high spaces bathed with natural light .
