Commercial complexes are key elements of the modern urban structure. These urban structures are designed as multi-purpose shopping centers to accommodate a significant volume of the commercial market of each complex. A shopping complex is more than just a few store units or a diverse space for selling specific products.

Such a space can be a cultural and social gathering space for a dynamic space in economic exchanges and the economic cycle of urban areas. The construction of commercial complexes is common in urban areas, but these commercial buildings have their own design methods.

History of Design and Construction of a Commercial Complex

The design and construction of a commercial complex, before it is the origin of the art of architecture, is completely influenced by the needs of consumers and even commercial units of space. At the beginning of commercial complex design projects, there is no clear information about the type of use of the commercial units of the complex.
