    Context- The original market had 150 shops.
    Audience response- people went there to sell their items as well as buy items.
    Change- The use of exposed brick was first thought of as unfit for buildings of this size, however this building shows a more accepted use of brick.

    Form: Multilevel mall
    Function: Used as a civic and ceremonial place for the people
    Content: barrel vaulted shops
    Context: Was built by Apollodorus of Damascus
    Tradition/Change: With the building of the forum, the focus was more on the people than on the rulers, the rulers were giving back to the people instead of taking away from them.
    Audience response: made the common people happy because they were getting the land that was taken away from them back in the form of civil spaces.
