Architectural sins disfigure our living space, and many of us would like to tear down these architectural monstrosities. But wait: like any other sin, architectural sins have a certain allure, even for unpopular types of architecture such as shopping centres and car parks! The film shows in an entertaining way that a shopping centre can be an architectural statement, that even a car park has a spiritual level and what it takes to be recognised as a historical monument.
