Aiming to become a unique destination full of surprise and discovery, the design proposal for the Thaihot City Plaza Mall has a multi-faceted façade that has different functions, in plan and elevation. Designed by Spark Architects, this facade moderates the edges of the building in plan to increase sight lines into the pedestrian street drawing people in, unlike linear streets that fail to hold and capture the pedestrians’ interest. More images and architects’ description after the break.
Working on the interior and façade design of Thaihot Mall in Fuzhou, the design of their undulating tenant façade mimics the ebb and flow of pedestrian traffic creating a dynamic shopping experience. Color shifting aluminium panels combined with signage and advertisements façade create an exterior appearance that is constantly changing. At night the perforated aluminum panels allow light to pass through to create a “starry night” effect.
