A shopping centre whose construction was begun in the 1990s by Turkish businessman Sabri Bekdas, with the original design created by controversial entrepreneur/architect/visionary Vahap Toy (creator of the nearby Atlas Tower, known as ‘toi-toi’). In the following years, the investment changed owners several times, was interrupted for a few years, attracted the interest of Michael Jackson, and finally, after a partial change in the design, was put into use on 31 March 2004. The centre has a larger usable area than the Palace of Culture (158,000 square metres) and one of the largest glass-filled steel domes in Poland (55 metres above the floor, 36 metres in span). The architecture of the centre is often criticised and has become an example of the typical sins of the transition period: overscaling, lack of relationship with the surroundings and kitsch aesthetics (‘nouveau riche, Turkish kitsch’). Address: Al. Jerozolimskie 179, Warsaw.
