Shopping Mall Silhouettes

From 2020–2022, I drew a few shopping malls in the style of my airport terminal silhouettes. While not quite as recognizable as some airport terminals (which are necessarily sprawling to accommodate the movement and parking of aircraft), many shopping malls have interesting footprints, so I wanted to try drawing a few of them.

Technical Details

I drew these silhouettes as SVG vector images with Inkscape, an open source vector graphics editor.

My primary references were Google Earth and Bing Maps satellite imagery, supplemented by other satellite imagery, directory maps on mall websites, mall photos and videos, and my own memory of each mall.
