When designing commercial spaces it is necessary to consider not just the types of activities that will be carried out in them, but also the different locations, functions and environments that they will require. All commercial premises, however, need a basic infrastructure that creates an efficient working environ ment and facilities that ensure excellent customer service.

……

At the turn of the century, commercial establishments were the first to apply the new construction techniques that emerged from the industrial revolution.

The new markets and galleries of the biggest capitals in the world represented the germ of what is today one of the best exponents of the latest tendencies in the language and materials of interior design: the modern temple of consumerism.

This book presents a panorama of some of the most inspiring, stimulating shops that have opened recently in different parts of the world. Despite variations in design, they all share a balanced relationship between function and aesthetics which results in new, fresh environments where to enjoy the shopping experience.
