Large-Scale Atrium: An Urban Plaza within a Shopping Space

An indoor atrium spanning five floors, scaled to resemble an outdoor plaza: 30 meters wide and 25 meters high, topped by a continuous ETFE cushion roof, allowing abundant natural light to flood in. The环廊 (galleries/balconies) on each floor project out in an asymmetrical manner, with varying depths, so looking up from the bottom reveals a staggered opening rather than a regular ring. The railings are frameless ultra-clear glass, almost invisible. The flooring is large-format light-colored terrazzo, laid in a radial pattern. There is no central art installation, only ample open space and scattered seating. People are moving on various levels. Avoid: making the atrium a regular circular or square void, adding large hanging decorations or Christmas installations, extensive appearance of storefront signs, using mosaic patterns for the flooring.

一個跨五層樓的室內中庭,尺度做到接近戶外廣場:寬 30 公尺、高 25 公尺,頂部是整片的 ETFE 氣枕屋頂,自然光大量灑下。各層的環廊以不對稱的方式挑出,深度不一,所以從底部往上看是一個層層錯落的洞口而不是規則的環。欄杆是無框的超白玻璃,幾乎看不見。地坪是大尺寸的淺色磨石,鋪成放射狀的分割。中央沒有裝置藝術,只有大量的空地與零星的座椅。人在各層走動。避免:中庭做成規則的圓形或方形挑空、加入大型吊飾或聖誕裝置、店面招牌大量出現、地坪使用拼花圖案。
