Introduction:1

There is a tall building in the center of my city and it is the super mall. The building

is close to the University Sports ground and the college campus. It is used for

multiple purposes. It is used as a theatre, eateries, gaming zone, gym and also for

exhibitions. The building is thronged by a lot of students and is always very lively.

The structure has 25 floors (you can change this) and it is the tallest building in my

city. Up to five floors are used for commercial purposes and the rest twenty are used

for residential purpose. It looks like a skyscraper and the glass windows make it even

more beautiful especially during sunrise and sunset.

There is a garden on the top floor and it is also very well-lit. The high edifice adds to

the attractiveness of my city and it is also its pride. It gives a sophisticated feeling. I

have been to this place many times and I have also experienced the height from the

terrace.

I like this building because its erect posture gives me a sense of accomplishment. It

teaches me how to look above and aim high. The construction is strong and the

design of the building is different from the other buildings in my city. It looks more

pretty at night due to its lighting. I wish more such high rise buildings come up in

my city.

Introduction:2

Well, I have seen many buildings with unique design contemporary as well as conventional but I would take this opportunity to talk about a very impressive and beautiful building that I saw recently.

Where it is? and What it is used for?
And it is the building of Elante shopping mall which is in city Chandigarh.

Recently I was on holiday in Chandigarh with my friends, so one day we decided to visit this shopping mall which is more like a shopper’s in paradise, and when we reached there we just got amazed because from outside this building just looked breath-taking.

What it looks like? and And explain why you like or dislike it?
Because the elevation of this building is entirely made of glass that looks stunning, and it looks exceptionally beautiful at night time when it gets illuminated with thousands of lights and we really couldn’t stop ourselves from taking pictures of this building.

In addition, the interior of this building is even more impressive, it has a column design, because of that from the inside it looks enormous in size, I must say Elante Mall has a state-of-art architecture and has a perfect layout.

The lower LEVELS have all the major brands, where people can enjoy their shopping just under one roof and buy anything they want from Clothes, Footwears to any other Household items, and on the upper levels there are Cinemas, Food Courts, Game Parlours and many more for the Entertainment of the visitors, and to access these all different levels, there are lots of escalators as well as elevators, so that people could comfortably access different floors, not of this building. Interestingly this show entire building is climate controlled, so people can enjoy their time at the shopping mall without being affected by the weather.

Conclusion:
Lastly, this building also ensures the safety and security of the visitors, there are fire exits, smoke alarms, water sprinkles, and everything is the to deal with any kind of emergency.

• I live in the countryside and there are mostly single story-buildings here.
• So I can’t really think about a tall building in my village.

Where it is?

• However, my family and I visit Ludhiana very often and it has a huge iconic landmark, the clock tower.
• We locals call it ‘Ghanta Ghar’.
• The clock tower is at the entrance of the commercial centre of Ludhiana and a just a few kilometres to its east is Ludhiana’s railway station.

What it is used for?

• Today, it is a famous tourist hotspot.
• It is also a reminder of a colonial history as it was built nearly during the preindependence times.

What it looks like?

• The design reflects the traditional European Gothic Style.
• The building is made with red bricks but it is still striking among the colourful and vibrant marketplace.
• By today’s standards, it would not be considered very tall.
• I think if I had to describe it, its height would be the same as a four or five-story apartment building.
• In the residential areas of the city, there are many 30-40 story buildings as well.
• But considering the marketplace nearby, which are just single or double-story, it stands tall.
• Today, the Ghanta Ghar is a hub of political activity.
• It is main location where political parties gather for protests.
• Unfortunately, as the streets nearby are narrow, this leads to traffic congestion.
• So, protestors are generally asked to move to nearby open grounds after some time.

And explain why you like or dislike it?

• I like it because it is a reminder of our past.
• Moreover, the building has a certain charm to it. It looks beautiful and tall among the haphazard development around it.
• Many times when I go to Ludhiana to watch movies and for shopping, I meet friends there.
• So, it would always be important to locals and people nearby as a landmark.

 Although there are numerous tall buildings in my city, one skyscraper has carved a niche for itself and is far ahead of others in terms of style and utility.

Where it is? and 

This building lies in the central part of the city. The name of this building is IT Tower.

What it is used for?

 This building is a blessing for the software industry. More than one thousand software engineers and developers work over here.

What it looks like?

Its design is simple but unique. Unlike other tall buildings, no such fancy work is there on the elevation.

Explain why you like or dislike it?

I like this building for its utility. Being a nature-loving person, I firmly believe that all citizens should join hands to undo the environmental damage done by us.

This building has set the right precedent to save our environment. To do so, the designers of this building have used solar planes for the window panes instead of glass. Due to this unique feature, this building generates energy for its usage from solar power.

To extract maximum solar energy, the architects have left no stone unturned. They have given it such a shape that is conducive to make effective use of the sunlight.

Due to this out of the box thinking, this massive structure has carved a niche for itself.

During the construction process, many experts expressed apprehensions regarding the success of this tower. However, five years have passed, and all companies inside this tower are getting seamless power supply at a minimal cost.

Being a voracious traveller, I regularly see numerous buildings with distinct designs, modern as well as traditional. However, there is one tall building that caught my attention. Today I would like to discuss that building.

And it is the building of VR Punjab shopping mall that is in city Mohali

Last month while holidaying in Mohali with my buddies, I planned to have a look at this shopping plaza which in reality is an architectural marvel and when we arrived there, we got mesmerized because of the elevation to the interior it is a masterpiece with state of the art infrastructure.

What it looks like,? And explain why you like or dislike it?

 The peculiar feature of this building is elevation. The architect has made perfect use of glass that looks enticing and blends perfectly with the colour of the building.

Apart from this, the designer has left no stone unturned while designing the interior of this building. The design is column-based, due to this reason, the inside area looks enormous in size. On the top of the layout is designed in a consummate manner by seasoned construction engineers. 

The lower levels of this building showcase the renowned brands, where people can find an array of products for shopping at one place and purchase apparel, footwear, electronics and electrical products, and household items. And the upper levels have leisure options like multiplex, eateries, gaming stations.

Conclusion:

To conclude, this building has sufficient arrangements for the entertainment of people from all walks of life.

Thank you so much for this nice topic. I really am proud to have the chance to live in the city of Malaga in Spain. This is one of the oldest cities in the country and is adorned by numerous structures which make it one of the most beautiful cities in the whole country. Recently we got a large building in the southeast corner of the city which is basically is a mega shopping mall that has different brands and local shops.

The architectural design of the building is attractive. The outer of the entire building is made of glass. The 14-story building also looks gorgeous in the early part of the day. The sunlight reflection on the building is wonderful. The tower-like shape is able to arrest attention from everyone while the central heating control system provides comfort to the visitors.

The building is a shopping mall, and this is the largest one in the surrounding area. A wide number of shops are available there. Almost every renowned brand could be found there and besides, some of the local stores in the mall offer gorgeous and traditional local products. The collection of local and imported products will equally amaze visitors and shop lovers.

Well, I like the building for its stunning outlook and facilities. But it hurts me to think that a large portion of the natural environment was damaged during the construction of this large building. So I have mixed feelings about this building. I love it for its look and facilities but I also hate it for the fact that a large portion of the natural environment was damaged to construct it.

Well, I live in a developing city which has excellent infrastructure. There are a lot of things that still need improvements but here I would like to talk about a building which is situated in the heart of my city and I like it most. It is a multi-storey building from where we can get all things under one roof. Its name is V Mart. It was constructed four years ago and with the passing time, it has become renowned among citizens due to its immense facilities and services. First of all, it has five floors, each floor provides different items to the consumers like grocery products, household items, electronic equipment, clothes as well as utensils. The most interesting thing is that on the top floor there is a restaurant where individuals enjoy refreshments and spend quality time with their loved one’s. The parking facility is also appreciable. Moreover, the environment is also fresh and hygienic. In the evening time, it looks magnificent because its interior is different and the exterior is decorated with electric lights which attract the visitors. Apart from it, sometimes my friends and I go there shopping and to entertain ourselves. My mother also likes to visit because the quality of products is very good there. We usually buy products from it. This building enhances the beauty of my city and it is the tallest building of all.
