Wanda Mall opus est commerciale ad loca describenda in urbe Lanzhou, in Sinis. Consilium circa CCXXVII milia sescenta metra quadrata complectitur, in quibus XXVII milia octingenta metra quadrata tectorum locorum inclusa sunt. Silva praecipuum thema est, et hereditas indigena, ut Via Serica, Flumen Flavum et Planities Loessica, dispositionem informat. Arbores indigenae et plantae siccitatis patientes cum speciebus inductis coniunguntur, ut climati sicco ventosoque conveniant et curam minuant. Lapis artificiosus tamquam materia ornatrix adhibetur. Propositum est efficere ut cotidianus cum natura contactus pars ambitus commercialis fiat.

Production Technology: Compared with natural stone, artificial stone has more outstanding advantages like bright colors, high smoothness, uniform color, compressive wear resistance, good toughness, dense structure, strong and durable, light specific gravity, no water absorption, corrosion resistance and weathering, small color difference, no fading, radioactivity Low, no pan-alkali . All of these characteristics makes it become the most important type of decoration material in today's landscape decoration.
Design Challenge: Lanzhou is located in the northwestern part of China which has hot and dry climate. The planting strategy of the project is to extensively plant native trees and understory vegetation that can adapt to the climatic conditions of Lanzhou. In order to create an immersive, diversified landscape that requires only moderate maintenance, while meeting the sustainability of water resources.
Research: In this era of rapid development but lack of human care, contact with nature is essential for human well-being. The natural environment gives us inner peace and a moment of respite, at the same time, it also prompts us to think about how to protect its health and beauty. Designers deliberately introduced landscapes into commercial operations and theme parks to make contact with nature a part of people's daily experience.
Inspiration: Lanzhou is a forestry city, with profound history and extensive culture. The design aims at combining theoretical architectural design methods with local heritage such as Silk Road, Yellow River, Loess Plateau, etc. It starts with Silk Road, and merges the city history, Yellow River, urban forest into the landscape designing. "Forest" is the keyword of the designing.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2019 in Lanzhou and finished in October 2022 in Lanzhou.
Operation Flow: In order to successfully build a resilient landscape in a windy and sandy site,the project refers to a large number of case studies. Designers want to introduce drought-tolerant plant species that have been adapted to poor soil, poor drainage, and strong wind resistance on the high slopes of the loess into the site, mixed planting of native plants and introduced plant species.
