Eh it's just a return to 50s style architecture, and I like open air malls, when they're not built on land that could be easily used for more useful or beneficial things like affordable housing. They remind me a bit of where I lived for a couple years in WA, where the only real indoor mall was tiny & everyone went to the outdoor mall that hasn't significantly changed since the 1950s instead bc they just had more. It's near the Hanford site & the whole place sort of advertises itself as a "nuke town" so the whole thing felt very atompunk/retrofuturist.
