- Unique Properties
- This is a retail basilica, an altar of fashion. Surprisingly, we recognized a classic Basilica prototype in the symmetrical columnar hall of this modern commercial shopping mall during our first visit to the site. This discovery allowed us to explore the possibility of shifting the space from a commercial to a “sacred” one. We choose to highlight the ‘Basilica’ character to emphasise the status of consumption in today's society, having the same status as religion in ancient times.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 700 sqm

- Fashion, Basilica inspired, Pink Bridges, Customized Furniture, Modular Units

- Design Challenge
- The “bridges” are key points in the technical design and construction. The digitally designed construction ensured accuracy in the production phase. The laser-cut skeleton frame was produced under 3D computer controlled casting and assembled by expert technicians to support the complex GRC surface. Installation holes were made on the surface at certain intervals, and mannequins with stick ends can be inserted into these holes and welded into the lower supporting structure, to transform the bridges into a runway providing a vivid fashion scene to enhance the customer experience. The curved pink plates are shaped into axis-symmetrical shapes with pulled-in waists, and the bridgehead reminds people of a pink tongue, stirring the desire for fashion.

- Inspiration
- The layout is a result of learning from the ancient polytheistic temples in Greece. As a counterpart to the Polytheistic period, Greek temples in the Acropolis each had its own orientation. Inspired by the visual-axis projection principles of the Acropolis, the featured prop objects in the shop - the three “bridges” - are arranged to point to each other, to guide the visitors gradually walking through the deep space of the shop, without feeling the cashier’s desk is either too prominent or too remote.
