"The development of a city needs both hard work and soft power." Recently, Ye, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and Minister of Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee, said that cities should be rich and civilized. It is of great significance to launch a cultural complex project at an important node involving the development of Foshan.
It will include a wealth of municipal cultural facilities-libraries, museums, youth palaces, archives, planning exhibition halls, science and technology museums, art galleries and so on. , but also with book fairs, exhibitions, film and television, cultural products trading and other places to cooperate.
Liao Zhichun, deputy director of Foshan Wenguang New Bureau, said that Foshan has a long history and culture and needs a cultural, artistic and aesthetic building complex as a carrier for more people to participate and enjoy. He believes that culture is a subtle influence, and the appearance of this carrier and cultural complex makes the citizens of famous cultural cities feel excited, proud and confident, which is of great significance to the cultural cultivation of young children.

Ye believes that the emergence of cultural MALL goes beyond the simple addition and splicing of a single facility, reducing repeated investment and improving efficiency. Liao Zhichun also said that Foshan's culture can't lie in the historical background forever, but should be constantly excavated and developed, keep pace with the times and connect with the world, and the cultural mall is the cultural highland that undertakes this important mission.

Yesterday, the newly released implementation plan "Fangcheng" of Foshan Public Cultural Complex (Cultural Mall) made its debut in the media. According to reports, Fangcheng has a total construction area of about 680,000 square meters. Among them, public buildings such as libraries, museums, science and technology museums, art galleries and archives will be started one after another during the year, and the central structure will be basically completed in 20 12, which may take about 5 years to complete.
"Fangcheng" design blends Chinese and western styles.
Foshan Public Cultural Complex Project (Cultural Mall) is a building complex integrating culture, creativity, commerce, leisure and other functions. , led by Foshan Library, Museum, Youth Palace, Archives, Planning Exhibition Hall, Science and Technology Museum and Art Museum.
In June 2008, Dongping New Town Management Committee and the Municipal Planning Bureau jointly held an international competition on architectural scheme design of public cultural complex. The first batch of conceptual designs involved 56 world-class design units, and 8 were initially selected. Then, after several rounds of screening of "4 out of 8" and "2 out of 4", in February 2008, the executive meeting of the municipal government decided that ARUP (Arup) Engineering Consulting (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. of the United Kingdom and "Fangcheng" of the Danish HLA consortium were the implementation plans of the public cultural complex.
"Why do you win? Because it does have great highlights. " Zhang, deputy secretary-general of the municipal government and director of Dongping New Town Construction Management Committee, said that this design fully embodies the distinctive feature of the mall-comprehensiveness. "There used to be many commercial malls, but how to make a cultural mall? This requires comprehensiveness and accessibility. " Zhang believes that Fangcheng attaches great importance to the research and refinement of elements in Foshan's traditional culture, such as window grilles and paper-cuts, which are very creative through "architectural masks". At the same time, the design also emphasizes the combination of international cultural trends and local culture. "The exterior walls of many buildings use very pure colors, such as red, yellow and white, which is a bright European style." Zhang said that many experts and citizens recognized this plan at that time.
Designer Liang Yuan appreciates Lingnan culture.
The chief designer of the Cultural Mall is Gao Hu, the chief designer of the Asian region of Danish HLA architectural design company. How can a foreigner be a cultural mall that Foshan people love?
In fact, Gao Hu, who has a Chinese wife, has a profound understanding of China culture. He said, "What kind of values do you need to be a cultural mall with Lingnan characteristics? We have made a great ideological struggle, and we don't want to simply take Nordic values and simply look at Foshan's culture from a Nordic perspective. " So, he traveled all over the ancestral temple, Liangyuan, Qinghuiyuan and Chenjiaci, among which Liangyuan made him feel the most. "I sat in Liangyuan for a few days, chatting with people, living there, seeing a lot of things and understanding what Lingnan culture is." Gao Huo said, "I'm not thinking about showing any Lingnan culture, but a pure experience." He doesn't remember how many times he went to Liangyuan, nor did he count how many sketches he drew.
According to his assistant Cai Wenying, the division of design functions of the cultural complex is very obvious. For example, near the Century Lotus Gymnasium, there are more active venues, such as the Youth Palace and the Science and Technology Museum. Some people near the subway entrance in the middle have a large flow. This is a big library. Considering the enjoyment of the crowd, the building to the east is the Book City. At the southern end near Foshan Park, there are relatively quiet venues, such as museums and archives. In addition, the plots parallel to public venues will be developed into office buildings, food malls, hotels, book cities and so on. In the middle part of the basement of the Cultural Mall, a celebration stage for the grand ceremony of 10,000 people is reserved, while in the middle part of the basement, there is a parking space that can accommodate more than 800 cars.
Among all the buildings, the most amazing one is the "Century Tower" standing proudly on the Dongping River. "The preliminary planning height of the tower is about150m, and the main part is art exhibition, sightseeing, news release, catering, etc. Its skirt building mainly has three functional divisions, namely the cultural exhibition center, the city exhibition hall and the multi-functional lecture hall. " Cai Wenying introduced that there are about 1500 multifunctional lecture halls, which can play the role of concert halls. Liao Zhichun, deputy director of the Municipal Bureau of Wenguang, said: "This concert hall is just what Foshan needs." He commented that the cultural complex not only bears the humanistic feelings of a city, but also defends the self-esteem and self-confidence of a famous historical and cultural city.
Pearl River Delta guests 1 hour.
"The Cultural Mall provides Foshan citizens with a platform for people of all levels and ages to learn, relax, experience and communicate, and also provides artists with creative space to inspire." Zhang introduced that in Fangcheng, you can see the ideal picture of citizens wandering freely and enjoying themselves.
The activities here are suitable, combining literature and business, and citizens can enjoy one-stop cultural and entertainment activities and cultural consumption services. He made an analogy. For example, after parents send their children to the Youth Palace for study, they can visit the museum nearby, recharge the library, go shopping in the book city and go to the Century Lotus Fitness Center. Citizens can also revel in the art hall and enjoy afternoon tea. "The whole Fangcheng has a novel design concept, flexible functional layout and rich levels. Let culture, commercial buildings and square space interact and combine. It is not only an ingenious modern building, but also a colorful public cultural space. "
Then, how can Foshan people and even guests in the Pearl River Delta reach this fertile land full of charm? Zhang said that the road network of Fangcheng is perfect, only 1 km away from the transportation hub of Dongping New Town. Through the transportation hub, guests from anywhere in the Pearl River Delta can arrive at 1 hour.
There are Foshan Metro 1 Line, Metro Line 3 and Metro Line 6 near Fangcheng plot. In order to cooperate with the construction of the core area of Dongping New City, Metro 1 Line and some lines of Metro Line 6 passing through Fangcheng have been planned to be the extension lines of Guangfo Metro 1 Line, which will be opened to traffic in 20 12. Metro Line 3 is also scheduled to start construction on 20 10.
Zhang introduced that the external space environment of Fangcheng also embodies the concept of scientific and technological innovation and green ecology, and at the same time integrates the customs of Lingnan water town. The open space of Fangcheng should be rationally laid out to realize the diversion of people and vehicles. The garage system should follow the principle of convenience and high efficiency, and the walking system should be organically combined with the green space system. Foshan Fangcheng citizens gather together to enjoy * * *
Fangcheng, a simple and direct name, frankly expresses the central idea of the designer-to build a cultural exchange city workshop belonging to the people of Foshan with flexible and effective design layout.
Fangcheng is the brand extension of Dongping New Town and the cradle of culture enjoyed by citizens.
Fang Xiang Jie Li Ju Lian Bafang
In the traditional urban planning of China, the development of all kinds of culture and industry and commerce is stimulated by the environment and people's livelihood activities. Each carriage is connected with an open street to facilitate activities and information exchange; Fangcheng organized in perfect order, but also in order to achieve the same goal. First of all, the century square, which runs through the north and south, is divided into east and west hatchbacks as the basic context of the square street; Later, in the pattern of "oriental culture and western commerce", the surrounding facilities were connected in series-Dongxiang District was mainly a cultural square area, and four overpasses extending from the platform of each square area, Century Lotus and Foshan Park were aggregated into a cultural and sports network; Xixiang district is dominated by commerce, and with the development of high-grade commercial and residential areas in the west of the base, more economic interaction will occur.
Function-related venues are located in the same square area, which is convenient for independent or comprehensive operation and management in the future.
The square platform is noisy and quiet.
Century Square Street is the main stream of people and an important cultural and commercial artery in Fangcheng. Citizens can enter and leave various cultural places through the square, and there are many retail and catering shops on both sides, which will surely become a pleasant new leisure spot in Foshan. Connect Plaza Avenue and underground space, cross Yu He Road, and combine subway station and underground shopping mall to ensure continuous flow of people.
The cultural platform connecting cultural venues is a harmonious variation of Square Street, and the east side of the platform is surrounded by gardens, adding a layer of quiet green space to Fangcheng.
Commemorate the era of creative achievements
The unique Century Tower stands at the northern end of Century Square, which is the symbol of the cultural exhibition center and the memorial hall of Dongping New Town's creative achievements, witnessing the new era of Foshan with Century Lotus.
In order to consolidate the south extension of the square, a Foshan stage with a screen device will be built at the south end.
Lingnan silhouette fashion shuixiang
Lively and colorful architectural modeling adds charm to Fangcheng. Wearing a unique silhouette coat, the little box tells a touching story. Use the silhouette with Lingnan characteristics and cooperate with the flowing water channel to show the traditional characteristics of Foshan.
From planning to architecture, Fangcheng integrates traditional wisdom, art and cultural connotation, reinterprets the fashionable Foshan Water Capital, and creates a charming new city with "cultural static", "commercial dynamic" and "green ecology".
