M Den at the Briarwood Mall
M Den storefront in Briarwood Mall
The M Den at the Briarwood Mall sells University of Michigan themed apparel, accessories, and other goods. Intriguingly, the store also has a Greek temple styled facade that is complete with a simple pediment, thin entablature, and fluted Doric columns. In this architectural setting, it is interesting to note that a store would choose to display itself using Greek architectural forms. In public architecture these forms are more commonly associated with banks, museums, courthouses, and university buildings where it is important that their buildings reflect simple boldness, solidity, security and permanence. However, one can also ask why wouldn’t any store owner want that?
