About Jianfa Yinchuan Yoyo City 综合体开发

悠悠城是一座位于中国银川的综合体开发项目。该建筑群集五层购物中心、两层商业街与十四层服务式公寓楼于一体。项目基地坐落于一片天然湿地公园与一条城市主干快速路之间。湿地中的浮岛景观启发了流动感十足的立面造型,外墙以花岗岩石材幕墙、线性铝制格栅与玻璃组合饰面。人行流线布置于地面层,车行交通与主要落客区则设于地下层。室内庭园将购物中心与周边自然环境相互串联。

Aimed to be the icon of Yinchuan City, the floating islands from the natural wetland becomes the key concept to integrate the whole development linking the boutique apartment, the shopping street and the mall. Yoyo City is the new city gateway that stitch between urban and nature which offers a garden mall concept that extends its energy into the interior green spaces.
Dimensions & Packaging: Site area is 49,249 sqm with total GFA of 122.990 sqm. The program consists of 100,270 sqm of 5-storey shopping mall, 10,960 sqm of 2-storey street retail and 11,760 sqm of 14-storey service apartment.

Production Technology: The façade adopts durable material such as granite stone panel with champagne linear aluminum fins division and integrated large billboard glass panels with LED screens. Lower levels are covered by curtain-wall glass and glass box billboards. The mall features use the kinetic wind-driven pixel plates system in champagne color. In the mall, there is 4-storey water jet waterfall and super structure recreational bird nest as central atrium features.
Design Challenge: Surrounded by large residential complex, Yoyo City has become an important extension of public playground. Dedicating the public space and pedestrian flow on ground level and allowing the vehicular access and circulation in basement level including the main drop off area have become the challenge. As much active as ground level, the basement is yet set to be another vital commercial arrival point and it needs to be equally important to the ground level.
Research: With a prominent site position between a preserved wetland park and a residential commercial zone, from the urban perspective, Yoyo City is not just a retail mall. It needs to act as an urban link. The design creates a city living room that offers an external communal belt and internal natural green garden. It serves to strengthen the connection between the community and its natural surroundings, providing diversified experience to the people of Yinchuan.
Inspiration: Inspired by its natural surroundings, Yoyo City offers an innovative architecture design that extends its energy into the interior green spaces. The convergence between the natural wave from wetland and urban energy wave forms the continuous fluid facade movement. Integration of floating islands to overall facade becomes the important highlight features in every visible and accessible corners. Yoyo City stands as a city icon that stitches its urban and nature contexts together.
Project Duration: The project is located in the city of Yinchuan, China. It officially started on December 2019. Currently, the project is in the Design Development stage. The grand opening will be targeted tentatively at the end of 2022.
Operation Flow: Sited between a natural wetland park and a residential commercial complex, Yoyo City master planning strategy is to prioritize the pedestrian connection flow and minimize vehicular within the development. Hence, the main vehicular drop off and lobby is located in the basement. Yoyo City unique experiences are connected through the 8 key node spaces from east to west, providing an urban linkage connecting the community and its natural surroundings.
