中信泰富广场改造像素的垒砌：让历史商业街区与时俱进，上海

Kokaistudios的最新改造项目充满活力与未来感，将一个拥有20年历史的商业中心转变为一个激情澎湃的摩登新奢地标。通过充满视觉漂浮感的像素元素打破商场原有四四方方的轮廓，让更新后的建筑与其历史环境相得益彰，并开辟了全新的前景与无限可能。

Dynamic and futuristic, Kokaistudios’ latest renovation transforms a twentyyear old shopping mall into a modern lifestyle destination. By breaking up the mall’s boxy silhouette through seemingly floating pixels, the new architecture complements its historic surroundings, opening new vistas and possibilities.

“像素”是Kokaistudios设计概念的核心，它的解释既是字面含义也是概念上的：建筑立面本身有着像素格栅的透明形态，而立面众多单独的方形单元相组合，更创造了一个具有凝聚力的整体。这些“像素盒子”从南京路的正面看去最是显眼，那曾经破旧的玻璃和石材立面如今被一系列不同尺寸、渐变透明的矩形和正方形体块所取代，每个“盒子”都从建筑的整体形态中突出，营造出漂浮的感受。

Pixels are central to Kokaistudios’ design approach. Their interpretation is both literal – such as the mall’s transparent grid facade – as well as conceptual: individual units that come together create a cohesive whole. They are most visible on the mall’s Nanjing Road frontage where an outdated glass and stone facade has been replaced by a series of largesized rectangles and squares of varying dimensions and gradated opacities, each protruding from the building’s core volume to create the impression of floating.

“像素”不仅具有当代内涵，也将该商业空间与其周边悠久的城市历史环境联系起来：中信泰富广场的正对面就是这里保存最完好的弄堂之一，弄堂是由传统巷道房屋的围起来的建筑群，通常有两到三层楼高，可追溯至20世纪初，代表着典型的老上海风貌。像素立面消解了整个体块，使其与对面的旧建筑在规模上保持一致性。

Despite their contemporary connotations, the ‘pixels’ connect the mall to its historic urban context. Directly opposite is one of the city’s best-preserved lòngtáng: typical of Shanghai and dating from the early twentieth century, they are walled compounds of traditional lane housing, usually two- to threestoreys in height. CITIC SQUARE’s pixels facade create a scale in keeping with the older architecture opposite.

打破传统大型购物中心的设计方法在室内改造中依然奏效，从前巨大的中庭被如今的夹层空间分解。较低楼层允许租户定制化设计商铺立面，保证了更好的光线控制调节，而低楼层的餐饮与高楼层的时尚购物旅程，也为来访者创造出两种截然不同的氛围。

The design approach of breaking up the big-box mall continues inside the space, where a formerly vast atrium is now dissected by a mezzanine. Because lower levels’ flagship custom made facades allows for greater light control as opposed to upper floors’ abundance of transparent glass, the platform creates two distinct atmospheres, signalling shoppers’ journey between fashion below, and F&B above.

如同是跟随购物者的双重流线一般，可定制的LED屏幕以无限循环的方式贯穿整个中庭，让商城成为一个全新动态的多媒体空间。它们仿佛是脉动的数据流一般，将中信泰富广场的像素主题强化为充满未来感可读可观的效果。

Like a secondary circulation tracking that of shoppers, LED screens run throughout the atrium in an infinite loop. Fully customizable, they update the mall into a dynamic multimedia space. Resembling a pulsating data flow, they reinforce CITIC SQUARE’s pixel theme to digital, literal, and futuristic effect.

同时，在引人注目的电梯大堂中，玻璃砖墙壁上的像素化数字也再次强调了设计的概念。

The design trope is revisited in an abstract way in striking lift lobbies, where walls of glass bricks create impactful pixelated numbers.
