Shopping is a shopping mall in downtown Luleå, Sweden. Designed by architect Ralph Erskine, it was the first purpose built indoor shopping centre in the world when it opened in October 1955.[1] Erskine designed it with an intent to let "city life" move indoors during the cold seasons.[2] Since its inauguration, it has seen multiple refurbishments and alterations, but is still used as a shopping mall.[3]
