The living dead could be coming to a shopping centre near you! Zombie paintball experiences are just one of many inventive reuses of failing malls identified by architectural educators and writers Ellen Dunham‐Jones and June Williamson , who have been tracking trends in suburban retrofits for over a decade. From medical facilities to megachurches, and from offices to community colleges, they cite projects the length and breadth of the US – and beyond – that take advantage of the vast floor areas and parking facilities of these sites, and give them a sustainable future.
