DALAN DREAM LAND COMPLEX

NEW TYPE Commerce ≠ Shopping Mall. 

This will not be simply a shopping mall but an open urban life space serving for the local citizen and a complex include  leisure, entertainment, shops and education.


 NEW PUBLIC SPACE 

The development of Internet economy throws a punch on the tradition  of retail industry,  service industry and shopping malls. It becomes the fundamental of its survival how it is connected with contemporary people’s daily life. This project will be not only a civic public space but an inseparable part of their family life.


PROGRAM CLUSTERS 

This project is designed as archipelagos, in which there are three main islands, dreamland, eco-land and creative land. The main islands also comprise many small islands. All the islands is connected by leisure area and the central multi-purpose chamber. This forms independent but connected clusters of experiential space. This design changed the traditional layout of shopping malls, which is a new model, in the internet era, of  experiential shopping mall. 


Complex of commerce 

The inside of the building is as a huge engine. People stream is divided into slow and rapid streamline basis on the intensity of people’s shopping purposes. The related function space is arranged according to the streamlines. 


Structural strategy

 We use economic  and convenient reinforced concrete shearing wall system. The outer perimeter column is set following to the inclination of the building envelop. This provides a flexible layout space to internal functions and perfectly combines architectural structural mechanics and architectural space function.
