Canal City Hakata:
The Canal City Hakata is located in commercial and entertainment district of Fukuoka in Japan . This structure consisted of 2 hotels,shopping mall with restaurant, theatre, cinemas and a water canal with fountain in centre of it (Japan guide 2011) . In centre of canal and structure there is a stage that sometimes artists perform there. There are open balconies from shopping mall in this area plus one of the glazed facades of the hotel that have view to fountain and stage. The choice of colour for shopping mall is different and interesting that can draw attention. In general this structure has engaged people well with indoor and outdoor places. There are large number of shopping mall complex in all over the world but this one could be more successful because of the special curve design and mix of functions.
