ASPECT Studios Wins Jiaozi Park Financial Street International Design Competition

ASPECT Studios has won the Jiaozi Park Financial Street international design competition for a new mixed-use district in Chengdu. The district comprises a linear development connected and linked by sky bridges and multiple levels of people-orientated commercial and retail space.

The jury lauded ASPECT’s approach to place activation over multiple levels, with a truly mixed-use program evident throughout.

The design for Jiaozi Park Financial Street explores the borderless integration of parks and businesses, experiences and places, and people and nature. The goal is to create a destination for diversified urban life, where different social groups meet and mix in an experiential setting.

“The chance to shape such a vital public urban space is a true privilege. Our design thinking considers a weaving together of a range of grounded and vertical unique exploratory journeys, allowing visitors and residents to be immersed in diverse experiences defined by people, place, and nature.”

Stephen Buckle, Design Director of ASPECT’s China studios

Commissioned artworks will tell the story of the past and future of this place. It is also an immersive micro-trip to the city, where local culture and art creations tell the story of the past and future. A full-time matrix of vitality, a pleasant spatial scale and functional layout, accommodating different communities, meeting consumer demand, and bringing a rich experience; it will become a green island of natural healing, where man and nature are linked, and symbiosis occurs.
