Entertainment and Retail Center at Diagonal Mar

Diagonal Mar Retail and Entertainment Center is part of a much larger urban project that also includes medium-rise and high-rise residential, hotel, and office development and a 34-acre public park. The center seeks to adapt the typology of the typical American mall, which is suburban and introspective, to a fringe location that aspires to the urbanity of a city center. Shops open both inward to three-storey-high skylit galleries and outward to the street. At the top level, restaurants spill out onto an outdoor plaza with views to the adjacent park and the sea beyond.

RAMSA Partners Robert A.M. Stern, Graham Wyatt, and Gary Brewer led the design.
