Located in Longquanyi District in the southeast Chengdu, the Shimao Festival City is set to retain a signature Chengdu laidback style and reflect local communities’ sentiments, distinguishing the plaza from rest of commercial complexes in the city.
The design is premised on the concept of “micro vacation”, committed to creating a unique shopping mall with the perfect integration of nature and humanity in the accelerating development of high-density cities.
In order to improve the accessibility between various formats, the design sets up public areas between volumes, and are connected seamlessly through green avenues. A series of outdoor spaces including rooftop plazas are installed, connected to each other by steps and slopes, echoing the Longquan Mountain. A rich interactive space close to nature is formed, and the commercial interface is activated with ecological characteristics.
