Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Now that's what I call a shopping centre
A new feat of architecture has risen in the Italian city of Nola, just a stone's throw away from the cataclysmic Mt. Vesuvius. Designed by Renzo Piano, Vulcano Buono is a cone-shaped commercial centre crowned with a sloping green roof.
The interior of the complex houses shops, a supermarket, a 2,000 seat cinema, restaurants, and a hotel. Renzo Piano describes the building as "a contemporary take on a greek marketplace, a void as a place for events, meetings, dialogue and the gathering of people".

I LOATHE to be controversial or gratuitously provocative, but in my own personal opinion, this volcanic-inspired shopping centre is even more imaginative than the Haringey Arena retail park (just).
Thanks for the link Hugh!

I knew the retail park would have its patriotic admirers and stalwart defenders. Let's agree that the Arena shopping piazza is in a class of its own; certainly a different league to that peculiar volcano centre.
