Until May 17: Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu ALL AROUND Exhibition

ALL AROUND

Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu Eighth Anniversary Celebration

Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu was finished eight years ago, and really changed the dynamic of the city. It has quickly become the key destination for luxury and lifestyle shops, bars and restaurants in Chengdu. Surrounding the historic Daci temple, and bordering the Temple House Hotel – the complex holds boutique fashion brands, top restaurants and more.

To celebrate this milestone, Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu, inspired by the urban life in Chengdu, they unveiled a special exhibition to showcase the art of urban life in Chengdu, and working in tandem with architects, artists, and international brands. The renowned architectural design firm “Roarc Renew” has designed an exclusive hall for this celebration and exhibition entitled “All Around the Traditional Chuandou Architecture”. Eight groups of architects and artists from different fields have partnered with eight international brands to co-create eight independent experimental art spaces and eight exclusive creative concepts that embody the essence of urban life in Chengdu, which can be visited at the centrally located Man Square until May 17th.

The Chinese character “八” (“Eight” in English) is composed of a left-falling stroke and a right-falling stroke, symbolizing that Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu has entered a new chapter as depicted by the strokes in calligraphy. And its similarities to the shape of Chinese characters “入” (“Entrance” in English) and “人” (“Mankind” in English) pertain respectively to openness, connection, or creativity, diversity, inclusiveness, and people-oriented. The exclusive building integrates the concept of “Eight”, using the iconic Sichuan-style architecture of “Chuandou” and carbonized bamboo as the material. From a distance, it presents the artistic form and power of Chinese calligraphy’s distinctive “left and right strokes”, showcasing the unique charm of Chinese culture. The eight exhibition spaces housed beneath the strokes echo their literal meanings of “All Around”. In each of the eight diverse and conceptual experimental art spaces, a set of exclusive creative concepts closely related to spaces are displayed, interpreting Chengdu’s urban lifestyle and cultural characteristics. Visitors can wander up the plank road, feel the allure of the building and space up close, and gain a unique perspective on the exhibition. Following the event, some of the carbonized bamboos will be disassembled into bamboo stools, a characteristic of Chengdu. A batch of bamboo stools will be placed in various public spaces for tourists to rest, while another batch of bamboo stools will be donated to Swire Properties’ Sichuan Community Centre for local villagers to use, achieving the recycling from buildings to public facilities and implementing the sustainable development concept of Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu.
