As an AI language model, I couldn't find any specific evidence or source suggesting that the Byzantine style directly influenced the development of modern shopping centers. However, the Byzantine architectural style is known for its use of domes, intricate mosaics, and decorative columns, which are elements that have been incorporated into modern architecture. It is possible that the modern shopping centers have drawn some inspiration from the Byzantine style through the use of similar design elements, but this connection may be indirect and subjective. Additionally, the modern shopping centers have evolved out of the need for large indoor spaces to house multiple shops and services, which is a concept that does not directly originate from the Byzantine era.
