  • Resumen

  • Writer and design critic Alexandra Lange talks about her book, Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Shopping Mall (Bloombury, 2023), with Peoples & Things host, Lee Vinsel. Meet Me by the Fountain is a history of the American shopping mall from its emergence to recent attempts to reinvent and reconceptualize the shells of “dead” shopping centers. Along the way, it details the mall’s many ironies and contradictions and how it became the center and icon of community and culture, especially youth culture, in the late 20th century. Lange and Vinsel also discuss Lange’s larger career and her work as an architecture and design critic. Lee Vinsel is an associate professor in the Department of Science, Technology and Society at Virginia Tech. He studies human life with technology, with particular focus on the relationship between government, business, and technological change. His first book, Moving Violations: Automobiles, Experts, and Regulations in the United States, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in July 2019. Learn more about your ad choices.

Malls and their Idiosyncrasies

This is an excellent interview and conversations with Andrea Lange discussing her unique venture into the american mall. Vincent was outstanding in his relevant question and personal experience that was totally engaging. Andrea was remarkably knowledgeable about malls in their inception, their cultural significance that includes their future evolution. My thanks to both of you for this background and an instilled desire to read this book.
