The lack of multifunctional shopping centers is a major issue that hinders tourism and leisure activities in the Republic of the Congo. This work proposes architectural techniques for the spatial organization of three-level commercial and leisure centers. This methodology addresses the scarcity of such infrastructure in Congolese urban centers. The approach involved collecting and analyzing data on key climatic and geographical conditions, as well as drawing on construction feedback from hot and humid environments. The three levels of architectural and urban organization obtained include: (a) the urban planning level, which encompasses streetscape design and green spaces; (b) the building design level, which focuses on integrating the structure into the environment and creating protective elements against climatic factors; and (c) the spatial level, which involves the treatment of marshy areas and the creation of drainage channels for runoff water. The ultimate goal of this work is to establish conditions for comfort, urban hygiene, and safety within multifunctional shopping centers serving as public hubs.
