Nanjing Jiangbei Wondercity

Wondercity -- Impression of Nanjing

The Wondercity mall is located in northwest of Nanjing, a national historical and cultural city and important birthplace of Chinese civilization.

The project is positioned as "injecting fresh vitality into Jiangbei with scientific and technological scenery, trendy food and immersive entertainment experience, creating a fashionable and leisure place for young people in Nanjing and establishing a fresh living and gathering place for the new urban core.

The 100,000 square-meter Wondercity mall has 5 floors above the ground and 1 floor retail underground, totaling 6 floors retail space. The highlight of the project- sunken plaza not only meets the code requirement of 50% lot coverage, but also integrates with the overall components around it. The use of concave convex wall texture shows a tribute to the ancient city wall of Nanjing. Three waterfalls from low to high are inlaid on the textured wall, demonstrating the unique city wall landscape of dragon spitting water. A glass bridge above sunken plaza not only provides a perfect view for all parts of the activities, but also improves the shopping experience. The nearly 4000 square-meter glass dome creates a comfortable urban leisure space with changing light and shadow at night just like a bright starry sky embedded in the city. The whole complex focuses on the intimate interaction between people and buildings, space and environment, breaking the boundary between indoor and outdoor.

The design concept always follows the following principles:

• Representing the image of Nanjing;

• Integrating nature into architecture;

• Looking for the past and crossing the future;

• Encouraging social activities, forming a meeting place and providing a living room for the city.
