Vientiane

China Resources MixC is located at the junction of Hanjiang and Guangling districts in Yangzhou. Yangzhou sits at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Grand Canal and is known as the First City of the Chinese Canal. As a World Heritage city, Yangzhou was praised in ancient times as the famous capital east of the Huai River and the fine place west of Bamboo— a cultural city emerging from two thousand five hundred years of history. The project is adjacent to the old city, with a superior location and rich surrounding resources. Positioned as a regional commercial center, China Resources MixC builds on the canal historical heritage of Yangzhou's Three Bays and modern development formats to create a city-level shopping center, injecting new commercial vitality into this thousand-year-old city and constructing quality urban life. The design draws inspiration from the thousand-year memory of the Grand Canal and Yangzhou's historical culture, extracting a simple modern design language to reinterpret Yangzhou's ancient poetry culture, creating a simple, comfortable quality commercial landscape space that gathers bustling popularity. Abstracted canal elements emerge around the design site, using elements extracted from ancient poetry culture as accents to link spaces and suture the site, creating an integrated, interpenetrating, and unified waterfront landscape system. The main entrance plaza is adjacent to the historic district. The facade uses light, layered eaves to dissolve the massive building volume, and the internally lit double-layer glass curtain wall highlights fashion sense, creating a landmark memory point. Ground paving axes guide visitor sightlines, while the abstracted canal motif weaves through the entire commercial landscape, connecting the city's historic water culture with contemporary retail experience.
