The Design

About Wanda Mall Design Paisagístico

O Wanda Mall é um projeto de paisagismo comercial em Lanzhou, na China. O projeto abrange cerca de 227.600 metros quadrados, incluindo 27.800 metros quadrados de paisagem em cobertura. A floresta é o tema principal, e o patrimônio local — como a Rota da Seda, o Rio Amarelo e o Planalto de Loess — orienta a implantação. Árvores nativas e plantas tolerantes à seca são combinadas com espécies introduzidas, de modo a se adequar ao clima seco e ventoso e a reduzir a manutenção. A pedra artificial é empregada como material decorativo. O objetivo é tornar o contato diário com a natureza parte de um ambiente comercial.

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.
