Recordist's notes

From the outside the facade of this massive city center building is that of a stately castle. Inside it is a vast shopping mall of 3 floors connected by escalators and designed so one can gaze from one level to the next. This recording overlooks the chess playing area. There are large scale plastic chess pieces and black/white flooring for young kids and area of tables where chess aces take on 5 or 6 keen players simultaneously. There is a piano for anyone to try, where a teenage girl is encouarged by her friends to play.
