由Aedas改造的备受瞩目的领展中心城已于今年1月重新向公众开放。

The highly anticipated The Link CentralWalk revamped by Aedas is now open to public. 

Aedas has taken up the task to enhance Link REIT’s first large-scale asset in Mainland of China and one of the largest shopping malls in the region. 

过去的领展中心城，室内空间与四周的绿色景观完全割裂。 设计的主要任务就是加强建筑内外空间的连接，改善建筑的整体连接性和流通性，并通过战略规划，结合内部空间、外立面以及景观的改造升级，全方位提升商业价值。

Prior to the renovation, the interiors did not integrate with the surrounding greenery. The enhancement plan is chiefly about strengthening indoor-outdoor relationship, improving connectivity and circulation, and to increase commercial value for every retailer through strategical planning, interior and facade makeover as well as landscape upgrade.

Concept Development 

为构建商店间流畅清晰的动线，设计重新调整空间布局，在中央构建出全新的通廊衔接主入口及主中庭，打破过去环形往复的动线，形成东西翼两个极具特色的商业空间。并在两侧构建出多个出入口，通过露天广场和蜿蜒的口袋空间与周边景观无缝连接。

To ensure a smooth circulation between shops, the design redresses the spatial layout by introducing a central spine and pocket spaces along key intersections which serve as distinguishable signposts for visitors.  The existing loop breaks into two characteristic retail wings, seamlessly connected to the piazzas in the east and west, as well as the two foci (main entrance and event atrium) along the spine.

从四季往复中汲取灵感

Inspired by the cyclical of the four seasons

The layout

团队力图在繁忙的都市中打造“福田中轴线上的都市桃源”，让访客在沉浸式的“慢空间”中享受一次感官之旅。 设计从四季往复中汲取灵感，将内部划分为春、夏、秋、冬四个主题区域，通过相应的色彩与植被，营造四季之感，并在静止的视觉场景外，充分利用香气、背景音乐、互动投影系统、吹雪机来全方位提升访客的感官体验，让访客可以在充满自然趣味的四时之景中，沉浸式游览各商业区域，并从任一区域皆可进入到城市空间。

Positioned as an "urban paradise on the central axis of Futian",  the project provides a sensory journey where visitors could immerse themselves in a “slow space”. The cyclical nature of the four seasons inspired the zoning of CentralWalk, in which visitors are afforded to stroll effortlessly along the retail wings or to access the surrounding urban space from either direction. Based on sectors’ spatial qualities, four seasons themed areas (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) are created, with corresponding color and greenery application. Besides still visual scenes, specific aroma, background music, interactive projection system, snow blower are applied to heighten visitors’ senses, submerging them into an environment full of nature and wonder.

New central arcades are introduced to all levels to link up the North Main Atrium from the South Main Entrance directly. The sensational starry galaxy effect will be experienced as walking along. The effect is created by the triangular perforations in the metal panel and the densely spaced LED spot is lighting at the upper layer.

团队将绿色元素贯穿内外，通过绿色植被将室外景观延伸至商场空间，增强视觉连续性，并模糊室内外界限，形成呼应，在繁忙的都市中创造出宜人的绿洲。设计在商城内部设置了多处垂直绿墙和花卉景观，突出季节主题。入口处互动式投影，为从露天广场进入商场的访客，营造出极具趣味性的到达体验，并通过吊顶处的季节性绿植，将其自然引入主中庭空间。

Advancing the design narrative, a green belt further extends the greenery from the outdoor landscape into the interior space of the mall resulting in greater connectivity as well as visual continuity; green walls and planters are set along the void edges to highlight the themed zone’s seasonal features. Seasonal greenery from the ceiling guides people to the main atrium, and the interactive projection effect at entrance gate provides an interesting arrival experience entering from the piazza. This blurring of indoor and outdoor creates a true oasis in this busy city center.

丰富的休闲公共空间

Relaxing Common Spaces

领展中心城将是一个理想的社交活动和休闲放松目的地。改造后的露天广场以趣味休闲为主题，增加了无障碍设施、公共座椅和公共空间，适合露天餐饮、季节性活动、互动艺术装置展示等。

CentralWalk makes for an ideal locale for social activities and relaxation. Designating themes of fun versus leisure, the piazzas are redesigned with increased accessibility, public seating and communal spaces perfect for alfresco dining, seasonal events, interactive art installations, leisure activities and more.
