rome had the 1st shoping mall copyed from those designs
the ground level was for food and one of the upper one´s was for cloths so they did copyed it
as for who made them for the 1st time i don´t think there´s evidence for who originally made it but there´s story´s os siege´s in sicily against poeni setlements where the greeks had to use siege towers and fight in the roofs of such "appartments" and those stories date back to the 5th or 6th century bc
we think the old where all savages but there´s more to the human ingenuity then we give it credit for (actually a baby from 100k years ago if transported to our time would fair just as well as any other child the problem is that they had no instituted education (or we assume they didn´t))
