last week we discussed the architecture of malls and how its affecting our culture. well i took up kaspil1 and there we talked about the philippiines having this "Consumer Culture" well actualy on my opinion its bad that we have this kind of culture because we will never become rich as a country, we will always depend on other countries and would always be blinded by their products, this is also what we discussed during artapre and during that discussion i realized something, i realized that its not that filipinos does not want to buy filipino products its just that we really dont have that much products at all.

i believe filipinos wont grow up to be a great country if they will always be consumers, i say we make our own products and we should be the ones cashing in on other countries as well.

anyway, as we have discussed iin class i got amazed at how things really are when it comes to the structure, the wide open spaces, the box type structures, well i was at glorietta last saturaday and when i stepped in i was looking at it so differently i was staring at the wide open spaces and there i can see what the circular walking area is for and why it is made like that. awhile ago i also atended church in greenbelt, this is where i realized that yeah everything is mad efficient by integrating almost everything in one place.

it was real fun staring at these "mega structures" and having this kind of thinking thats not common to everyone, i myself would tell my dad stuff i learned at why things are like this in SM while its like this in glorietta. plus ever since before i have always thought that between these 2 kinds of malls the elite class and the mass class malls that there is something different but i never came uo with these questions of mine. but after learning these stuff in artapre i now know the answers to questions that was dwelling in my mind for years.
