say of the Cabot Circus shopping centre that
in creating the design for the development
they consulted with the artist Nayan
Kulkarni and the engineers Schlaich
Bergermann und Partner, " ... to give
rise to one of the scheme's most
dramatic elements; a free-form,
shell-shaped glass roof, the first of
its kind in Europe." The
Cabot Circus website says that it contains,
" ... 140 shops, two
department stores, several restaurants,
a thirteen-screen Showcase Cinema de
Lux, a Jungle
Rumble Adventure Golf centre and is
split into two areas, the circus itself
and Quakers Friars. The Circus is
divided into three streets and multiple
levels."
The shopping centre is named after John Cabot, the 15th Century Italian explorer Giovanni Caboto, who lived in Bristol, from where he set off on many of his voyages. |
