- The double layered facade that use a curtain wall system to encase the second layer of the featured facade creates a showcase style design element. Low emissivity glass is applied in the project as the primary glass material to increase the energy efficiency of the design. Landscape features such as green plants and waterfalls are introduced in the shopping mall interior to help create a quality air environment and passing cooling and heating systems that will assist in balancing the internal temperature.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this project is to consider how to localize the commercial mall to this site, which should inherit local culture of Xi An. On the other hand, we want to give this mall one of the most essential functions to provide a shopping place that fit for whole family, especially for children who need playground and interesting education elements belong to the city. As a result, we design to emerge local culture and the function of family entertainments into this project.
- Research
- A significant problem that designers need to solve of the project is to the massive height differences of the plot, so multi ground entrances with different height is introduced, people flow from all directions can enter to the mall conveniently. The design of the facade is integrated with traditional Chinese culture. Designers extract silk as a symbolic element for deconstruction and connecting the facade volumes with various ribbons like decorations.
- Inspiration
- The design of project stands as a symbol, it adopts the importance of the city as an ancient imperial capital and eastern departure point of the Silk Road. Silk has been the identity of city as an introduction gateway and image to the outside of the world. The mild wave and pleats are applied to be the facade expression symbolizing the silk itself. Reliable to gradually transparent blocks enhance the conviviality welcoming people into the green oasis of the shopping mall.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Sep 2019 and finished construction drawing. It would be opened in 2022 in Xi An, China.
- Operation Flow
- There were many rounds of communication and adjustment between the tower landing and the main interface of with the clients and the city authorities. We paid attention to the relationship between the public and private circulation, integrated with the urban street scale, and improved the microclimate environment of the building.
