The Design
About Lafonce Maxone Complexo Cultural e Comercial
O Lafonce Maxone é um complexo cultural e comercial situado em Xi'an, na China. O interior reúne um centro comercial, uma livraria e outros tipos de negócio sob um único tema: o livro. Duas paredes-estante artísticas, com 18 metros de altura e 240 metros de comprimento no total, abrigam centenas de milhares de livros e são construídas com estruturas metálicas e vidro transparente. O vidro permite que a luz se difunda pela área do vazio do edifício. A estrutura original permaneceu sem uso durante três anos, e o seu volume aberto foi preservado para criar uma forte sensação de espacialidade.

- Production Technology
- 1. The original building was a roughcast architecture had been idle for 3 years. The designers kept the advantage of the original void area, with a view to producing a strong experiential sense of space.
2. With hundreds of thousands of books placed in, the two large walls are constructed with steel structures and transparent glass, which enables people to see through and also allows the light randomly diffuse to the void area to interact with the spatial entities in various forms. - Design Challenge
- The project's location doesn't enjoy large human flow volume and prosperous commerce. How to make LAFONCE MAXONE outshine other big shopping malls in Xi'an is a tough problem that needs to be solved.
- Research
- LAFONCE MAXONE is a trendy cultural and commercial complex, integrating shopping mall, bookstore and other functions. It can not only attract the human flow, but also promote local economic development and improve business operations of shopping centers.
- Inspiration
- The project is situated at an industrial area in the northern suburbs of Xi'an, which doesn't enjoy large human flow volume and prosperous commerce. According to the chief designer, it's imperative to depend on culture to go beyond geographical restrictions and gather people, because culture itself does not have geographical distance and can attract the participation of all people, thus maximizing the flow of customers. Based on such idea, the theme of "book" runs through the entire space.
- Project Duration
- Started from: December 2016
Completion time: December 2018 - Operation Flow
- Through a "culture and commerce" design strategy and by taking cues from the cultural context of Xi'an, Designer created a bookstore-themed commercial and cultural complex, which leads lifestyle aesthetic experiences with multiple business forms and has successfully attracted customers in spite of the remote site. Striking and pioneering artistic book walls, which are 18m high and 240m long in total, bring a brand-new image of urban commercial space to Xi'an and even China.
