Jiuwu Culture City

Jiuwu Culture City is one of the first large-scale entertainment and cultural projects under the ShenYang ShengJing WenHue ShangCheng Limited. Located right next to the Taiyuan Street Business Area, the Jiuwu Culture City is known as “the most beautiful cultural landmarks” within the industry, and serves as one of the best cultural experience and entertainment districts in Mainland China.

The Jiuwu Culture City is the epicentre of the “new city” cultural lifestyle. As a multidisciplinary studio, we have utilised our vast experience in urban complex design, to incorporate creativity and Shengyang’s cultural memory to create a iconic new design for the City.

The Jiuwu Culture City was originally a reputable bookstore, and there were a lot of challenges when trying to revitalise the space which was almost a century-old. The structures of the building have aged and made it difficult for us to remove or restructure, we also faced certain obstacles with the limited space. Ultimately we chose to build atop of the original architectural structure and utilise its function and nostalgic elements to showcase our creative design.

Reappearing with its new youthful vitality the Jiuwu Culture City adopts a book-like imagery to appeal to the all generations. The design concept emphasises that the City is a “Tree of Cultural”, almost like a page on a book, or a leaf on a tree. Find yourself engrossed in a vibrant space full of books and culture, enjoy a walk down the lane immersed with nature and culture.
