I love Changsha is an urban intervention designed for the beautification and activation of the public realm of the riverbanks of the Xiang River in Changsha, the capital & largest city of Hunan Province, in China. The eye-catching public artwork intends to create a trendy & recognizable urban landmark at the main front plaza, using giant letters as a cheerful IP logo of the city’s name. The artwork is also thought to be a catalyzer for social interactions around it, as an outdoor meeting point and leisure space with privileged views over the Xiang River, enhancing the guest experience of youngsters and families visiting the commercial building in Kaifu District. Besides serving as an eye-catching & cheerful logo to be watched and photographed as perfect social media content to be shared, the project also offers play equipment hidden inside the capsules that form the name Changsha, for the joy & entertainment of the little ones. Thus, it is also an “urban toy” for Kaifu District kids, creating a challenging Play Route that can be traversed from the initial letter “C” to the ending “A” and vice versa, as a course of obstacles that help kids to develop their physical abilities and cognitive skills while having fun and being photographed by their parents from the outside, for the memorable experience to be kept. The design of the artwork also contemplates the letter “I” as a circular bench, and the “Heart” as a communal swing, both allowing youngsters to sit down, take a break, or shoot some selfies with intergalactic & colorful backgrounds. Altogether, the “I ♡ CHANGSHA” public artwork intervention enhances and stimulates the pedestrian’s experience of the public riverbank, successfully creating a very colorful and stimulating city logo for Kaifu District, right on at Changsha Beichen Delta.

Magma Flow is a stimulating urban activation of a pedestrian street from a newly built commercial and residential area in the port city of Ningbo, the second-most populous city in Zhejiang Province, China. One of the most characteristic features of this place is the presence of grand stairs that serve as pedestrian access to the open second floor of the commercial street. In order to activate this pedestrian junction and turn it into an eventful and eye-catching public space, colonizing the stairs extending and detaching the proposal from the horizontal plane of the floor was early identified as a key action to gain visibility, and from which the rest of the proposal could be articulated. Thus, what before were just simple stairs to access the second floor, is now a volcano of public activity by inserting several amphitheaters at different levels, providing the stairs with platforms for hanging out and resting; shading structures mimicking the violent eruptive process, while providing shadow to the new resting areas; and even some slides resembling the erupted lava going down the hill. To continue with the narrative on the rest of the space, a huge stain of erupted magma razes the ground level with color and playful functions for kids and adults alike, generating a very eye-catching multifunctional plaza right at the pedestrian junction. The flow of magma creates an intense & vivid circuit of events and spaces arising by its side. Among the functions that we can find on the magma plaza, there are several seatings and resting areas located under shadowing canopies, as well as mahjong & tic-tac-toe tables and a lounge area for adults. For the joy & entertainment of kids, we equipped the space with a swing pergola, seesaws, slides, hills and bumps, tunnels, punching bags & challenging obstacles along the circuit. Altogether, the proposal creates an incandescent public space that acts as an urban attractor and entertainment hotspot within the new commercial and residential development.

Video by This is Lalo Productions Over the Rainbow is an eye-catching rooftop renovation depicting a rainbow, designed for the activation of an unused terrace onto a commercial building in Changsha, the capital & largest city of Hunan Province, in China. The renovation of the rooftop intends to create a trendy outdoor community hub, as a meeting point and leisure space with privileged views over the Xiang River, for youngsters and families visiting the commercial building in Kaifu District. Taking advantage of the arched shape of the rooftop, the project is driven by the idea of using programmatic parallel stripes of color that would enhance that arched shape forming a rainbow of outdoor. Each of the stripes represented in a different color is a platform hosting specific functions and features that encourage social interactions through leisure and play. Those programmatic stripes initially executed as 2D floor graphics for circulation, in certain moments become 3D shapes forming urban furniture, play structures, and objects for leisure. The whole system of stripes itself also becomes 3-dimensional, by elevating certain stripes from the ground level, in order to create a social amphitheater with enhanced views to the Xiang River, or even vertical walls which quickly grab the attention of visitors with interesting shapes & patterns, as trendy selfie spots for social media sharing. The social amphitheater is crowned with a very eye-catching logo of “I ♡ 长沙”, as the main recognizable & distinctive IP image of the rooftop. To culminate the fun on the rooftop, we included a 12-meters-high spiral slide going down from the rooftop on the 6th floor to the terrace on the 5th floor. Altogether, the rooftop intervention enhances and stimulates the experience of visitors in all senses, and creates successfully a very colorful and stimulating community hub for Kaifu District right on the top of Changsha Beichen Delta Joy City Shopping Mall.
