CR Land Linyi MiXC: A Next Generation Urban Complex Inspired by Kite Flying Culture

Unifying History and Contemporary Urban Life

Located in the historical district of Linyi, CR Land Linyi MiXC is set to become a landmark for future city development. This mixed-use project seamlessly blends history with contemporary urban life, creating a three-dimensional park that serves as the anchor for leisure activities and the life of the complex. Inspired by the local culture of kite flying, the design pays homage to Linyi's rich history while embracing modern architectural concepts.

CR Land Linyi MiXC stands out with its unique facade, which draws inspiration from the movement and form of kite flying. The kite flying pattern is seen throughout the project, creating a collage of diamonds that manipulates light and creates a tapestry of movement and vitality. This distinctive feature sets the project apart and makes it a memorable addition to the city's skyline.

One of the key strengths of CR Land Linyi MiXC is its integration of cultural spaces in the vicinity into one cohesive complex. By unifying the existing urban landscape, the project creates a harmonious blend of historical and contemporary elements. The central green park, scattered crystal architecture, and stepped landscape terrace further enhance the sense of unity and provide a vibrant environment for residents and visitors alike.

Not only does CR Land Linyi MiXC prioritize aesthetics, but it also incorporates sustainable design principles. The shopping mall facade utilizes green materials, enhancing the thermal performance of the architectural envelope. Additionally, the project's landscape meets the requirements of sponge city planning, contributing to the overall sustainability of the development.

Designed by AICO, CR Land Linyi MiXC is a testament to the team's understanding of site history, social living, urban environment, and civil culture. The project planning focused on the continuation of Linyi's city history and civil culture, while also creating a space for leisure activities and future complex life. The result is a next-generation urban complex that seamlessly blends the past and the present.

The construction of CR Land Linyi MiXC began in December 2015 and was completed in September 2019 in Linyi, China. This project has been recognized for its excellence and innovation, receiving the Iron A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building, and Structure Design category in 2021. This prestigious award acknowledges the project's well-designed, practical, and innovative nature, meeting professional and industrial requirements.
