CIFI JINKE AIRPORT

Cifi Jinke Airport project in Chongqing responds to the city's rugged, wild character with a multi-level visual landscape inspired by the composition of architects like Luis Barragan and Alvaro Siza, and by Wes Anderson films: orderly composition, dramatic plot, intense color and highly recognizable emotional delivery. The design creates staggered spatial interpenetrations and bold theme colors, mapping a microcosm of mountain-city life onto a young, fashionable, color-drenched fantasy world. The sequence starts at entry, moves through inner courtyard, side court and roof, with stopovers at every corner. White remains pure, but bright gold is injected into red to soften intensity and create a younger, more playful mood. Moving through elevation changes, visitors cross an aerial bridge overlooking side walls, pergolas and mirror pools that refract and reflect space. Trampoline boxes, a future runway, fun slides and semi-open spaces extend play into the side court for parent-child moments. The flying box echoes the building form like leaping onto a trampoline; the floating slow-enjoyment box reminds residents to savor life; the whimsy box connected to the roof park uses large color-block walls and clean white surfaces as social-media photo moments. Keywords extracted from viral destinations were color, elevation, story, emotion and drama, expressed through geometric composition and intense color with shifting natural light, producing a space that is both dream and reality.
