Good architecture is open, open to life, open to enhance anyone's freedom, where anyone can do what they need to do.

Hello community it is a pleasure to be with you again to share with you my adventure with a beautiful design and architecture that is located in the first born of the American Continent, Cumana, Venezuela. This time I show you the design of the shopping center called "Ginan".
It is located in the center of the city, in one of the most popular and crowded streets of the city, called "Calle Bermudez".
The Ginan, as it is called in the local speech, is very visited by the locals for being in a strategic place since when walking through the center of the city you pass through the front and back of it.
The Ginan mall is one of the malls that has the largest number of electronic equipment stores, they have several stores where you can buy mid-range and high-end phones adjusting to the consumer's pocket, in addition, they sell different designs of covers and accessories for cell phones. This one stands out because it has articles of technology and something that caught my attention immediately was to see the characters of the animated movie Super Mario Bross, it was very exciting because I was in the company of my son and when he saw it he ran to the place and without wasting time he told me daddy I want one for my birthday. Besides seeing it in the showcase, it brought back beautiful memories when we watched this fascinating and captivating movie as a family, we enjoyed it together with popcorn and soda. It was a much awaited movie in my city where the children enjoyed it very much and everyone could hear comments about it, although not only the children enjoyed it, in the movie theater you could see children and adults lining up to buy tickets.
In my house the child for several days after watching the movie was still talking about how much fun Super Mario was. In this mall we also found a toy store where my excited child didn't know what he wanted although honestly we didn't have money to buy either since the prices are very high. There were also some bags ideal to take shopping, to school or for a fun day at the beach.
One store that was very important in this mall where every time we went to this place we passed by was a pet store where you could see beautiful animals , I remember that on several occasions I visited this store and it was amazing the great variety of fish that these people had there. Also in the Ginan you can find a gym at the top where it was frequently visited by men and women to perform their exercise routine in order to stay fit and healthy.
The Ginan mall as well as other malls in the state have been forced to close some stores because the economic situation of the country is quite critical and especially in the years of pandemic many merchants of these stores went through a financial crisis and could not get out of this situation leading them to bankruptcy.
Although currently it could be said that downtown there is some economic recovery since many stores have opened and others have been incorporated and as I mentioned above, the stores of technological equipment stand out in this establishment.
Design and architecture are the art of manifesting the noblest thoughts that can be seen and touched with the heart.
