About Uni-park Daxing Gemeenschapswinkelcentrum

Book Text: Uni-park Daxing is een vijf verdiepingen tellend gemeenschapswinkelcentrum in het zuiden van Peking. Een co-livingruimte beslaat de derde tot en met de vijfde verdieping in de noordwestelijke hoek en dient als openbare plek om te rusten en anderen te ontmoeten. De drie verdiepingen hoge ruimte opent zich naar de straat door middel van een grote glazen wand. Trapsgewijze terrassen op de westgevel creëren verschillende buitenactiviteitenzones. Een dakterras met tuin is bereikbaar vanaf de terrassen en vanuit de co-livingruimte. Een stalen constructie draagt de bovenliggende verdiepingen, die vijf meter over de hoofdingang uitsteken.

Production Technology
Steel structure is adopted as the main structural system. Above the main entrance, the upper floors are overhung by 5 meters to accentuate the sense of arrival. The main facade is consisted of stone panels, insulated glass units, and aluminum panels.
Design Challenge
As the project is located in the new residential area of Daxing district, how to attract young people and families from surroundings becomes the biggest challenge of the project. The project strives to create a variety of public spaces for the residents, to connect the site with surrounding communities, and to become a destination for leisure and social activities.
Research
Daxing Uni-park emphasizes the relationship between architecture and city in design. Abundant volumetric relationship forms a pleasant urban facade. Transparent volumes are employed at key nodes, to provide a dynamic interface for the building. The self-isolated prototype of typical shopping malls is transformed into an open, transparent, and attractive urban commercial space.
Inspiration
The neighboring Nanhaizi park used to be a royal hunting ground and is known as a national reserve for elk. This building keeps the natural atmosphere of the surroundings and creates an open and cozy place. The design seeks to strengthen the connection between the building and the surrounding communities, and to provide an attractive community living room as well as a neighborhood shopping center.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2019 in Beijing, China and will be finished in 2021.
Operation Flow
The Daxin Uni-park seeks to soften the boundary between the interior and the surrounding communities. People can wander freely between indoor and outdoor spaces. It will bring a rich citizen life to a vibrant community.
