Why this Leeds car park is the world's third coolest

THE car park at Victoria Gate shopping centre has been voted the third '˜coolest' in the world after thousands of people voted for their favourite.

Located at the £165m shopping centre, it takes architectural inspiration from the city’s history using twisted aluminium fin cladding that creates a diagonal grid pattern, which is emphasised by shadows.
