青山印象城在中国武汉的青山区,开业期间,一跃晋升为武汉商业客流量前十。

青山印象城如何收获了如此引人注目的客流量? 这一切都与它的布局策略密不可分。

在外围的广场上,它设立了全球最大双子江豚艺术装置与全国首个“江豚奇幻自然探索之旅”户外免费游乐场,进驻商场的还有国家一级图书馆,最美夜光跑道、超大型儿童免费游乐场、赛事级运动馆、全市商业体内最具趣味性宠物街区“萌宠天地”等地标性场景与内容还有专为“毛孩子”设计的宠物街区,引入近300家优质品牌,超过1/3为首店、旗舰店、必吃榜。

Wuhan Qingshan InCity is located in Qingshan District, Wuhan, China. During its opening period, it quickly rose to the top ten in terms of commercial foot traffic in Wuhan. How to harvest the traffic so compelling? All of this is inseparable from its layout strategy.

On the grounds of the periphery, it established the world's largest Lipotes vexillifer art installation (A freshwater dolphin species living in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River) with the national first "porpoise fantasy natural exploration tour" free outdoor playground, into the mall and country-leveled libraries, The landmark scenes and contents such as the most beautiful luminous running track, the super-large free children's playground, the competition-leveled sports hall, and the most interesting pet street in the city's commercial area, "Cute Pet World", as well as the pet street specially designed for "furry kids", have introduced nearly 300 high-quality brands, with more than one-third being the first stores, flagship stores, and must-eat list stores.

双子江豚艺术装置

两座巨大的设计感江豚伫立在此,是非常有标志性的地标记忆点,与该地区商场的认知记忆深度关联,极具观赏性和创意性的艺术装置和游乐设施,吸引众多家庭前往。

双子江豚的形象赏析——江豚的成双出现,无论在世界各地,人们相信成双成对出现的动物是好运的象征; 另一方面,我们叫他江豚而不是海豚,是因为江豚是扬子江特有的淡水豚。武汉这座城市的另一个昵称是江城,它是一种长江边的城市。所以,江豚和江城武汉有着密不可分的关系。于是,这两座艺术雕塑和它们地所在地,不可避免地在武汉人民心中得到了认可与赞赏。

事实不仅仅是这样,他们地价值不仅仅是雕塑————

--巨型的尺度带来的视觉张力

  • “全球最大”的体量感:这对双子江豚雕塑高度超过15米,被认证为“全球最大的双子江豚雕塑”。这种超乎寻常的尺度感,打破了传统商场外广场的沉闷格局,瞬间抓住了人们的眼球,使其成为青山乃至武汉的“新地标”。
  • 动静结合的姿态设计:两只江豚并非静止的雕像,而是呈现出动态的嬉戏感。一只高高跃出水面,仿佛正从喷涌的水柱中腾空而起;另一只则呈潜水状,流线型的背脊露出地面。这种“跃”与“潜”的互动关系,生动还原了江豚在长江中活泼、灵动的生存状态。

--功能重构:由“观看”到“触摸”的交互逻辑

与传统只可远观的艺术雕塑不同,青山印象城的江豚装置被赋予了极强的功能性,这是它最大的设计亮点:

  • 从“静物”到“玩具”:设计师巧妙地将雕塑的“腹部”与“背部”转化为儿童游乐设施。那只作下潜姿态的江豚,其流线型的坡道背部被设计成了一个巨大的天然滑梯;另一只脚下的喷泉区域则成了夏季孩子们戏水的乐园。
  • 声光电的夜间幻化:到了夜晚,江豚雕塑配合炫彩的夜光效果和音乐喷泉,化身为极具未来感的视觉盛宴。这种日夜双模式的变化,增加了装置的层次感,使其不仅是白天的游乐场,也是夜晚的社交打卡点。

 

3.--情感与社会价值:有温度的“社区生活枢纽”

这一艺术装置的深层价值在于其社会学意义,它成功地扮演了连接商场游玩、居民生活与自然工公益的纽带角色。

  • 亲子与代际记忆:青山印象城定位为家庭的游乐场。这两只江豚承载该城市孩子们的童年记忆——孩子在这里完成了童年的滑滑梯体验,并且有两只巨星江豚的相伴,这种情感连接使得冰冷的钢筋水泥建筑变得有温度。
  • 自然公益与城市精神:武汉是“江城”,而江豚是长江里的“微笑天使”。印象城借此城市名片,打造了全国首个 “江豚友好商场” 。在这里,人们看到江豚,亲近江豚,记住江豚,也会关心江豚和它的生活环境。实现了商业引流与生态科普的双赢。

Twin Lipotes vexillifer art installation

Two huge Lipotes vexillifer with a strong designable sense stand here, which are very iconic landmark memory points. They are deeply related to the cognitive memory of the shopping malls in this area. The highly ornamental and creative art installations and amusement facilities attract many families to visit.

Twin Lipotes vexillifer art installation appreciation - dolphins appear in pairs, whether in the world, it is believed that in pairs of animals is a symbol of good luck; On the other hand, we call it the Lipotes vexillifer rather than the dolphin because the Lipotes vexillifer is a freshwater dolphin unique to the Yangtze River. Another nickname for the city of Wuhan is "Yangtze City", which is a city located by the Yangtze River. Therefore, the Lipotes vexillifer has an inseparable relationship with Wuhan, the city by the river. Thus, these two art sculptures and their locations inevitably gained recognition and appreciation in the hearts of the people of Wuhan.

The fact is not just that; their value is not merely that of sculptures————

 

1.      Massive scale of visual tension, the huge dimension sense: the twin Lipotes vexillifer sculpture for more than 15 meters high, be viewed as very huge Lipotes vexillifer sculpture. This extraordinary sense of scale has broken the dull layout of the traditional square outside the shopping mall, instantly catching people's attention and making it a "new landmark" of Qingshan and even Wuhan.

2.      The kinetic and static combined posture design: The two Lipotes vexillifer are not both static statues but present a dynamic sense of playfulness. One leaped high out of the water, as if soaring into the air from a gushing column of water. The other one is in a diving position, with its streamlined back exposed above the ground. This interactive relationship between "leaping" and "diving" vividly recreates the lively and dynamic survival state of Lipotes vexillifer in the Yangtze River.

3.      The functional reconstruction: the "watch" to "touch" the interaction strategy.

Different with traditional sculptures that can only give far view, these twin Lipotes vexillifer art sculptures are endowed with strong function, this is the design of its biggest spotlight: from "still object" to " approachable object": designers cleverly transferred sculptures’ "abdomen" and "back" into the children's amusement facilities. The Lipotes vexillifer in a diving posture has its streamlined ramp back designed as a huge natural slide. The fountain area beneath the other foot has become a water paradise for children to play during summer.

Sound and light night fantasy: at night, the dolphin sculpture with beautiful luminous effect and music fountain, as most futuristic visual feast. This dual-mode change between day and night adds a sense of layering to the installation, making it not only a playground during the day but also a social check-in spot at night.

4.  Emotional and social value: hidden humane temperature "community hub" art installation of deep value lies in its sociology meaning, it has successfully played a connecting mall for pleasure, residents' life and natural orientation. Parent-child and intergenerational memory: it brings positioning as family playground. These two Lipotes vexillifer carry the childhood memories of the children in this city - the children have completed their childhood slide experience here, and with the company of two giant Lipotes vexillifer, this emotional connection makes the cold reinforced concrete buildings warm. Natural public welfare and city spirit: wuhan is "Yangtze river", and Lipotes vexillifer is the "smiling angel" in the Yangtze river. Taking advantage of this city's calling card, InCity has created the country's first " Lipotes vexillifer Friendly Shopping Mall". Here, people see these two huge dolphins, get close to them, remember them, and also care about them and their living environment. It has achieved a win-win situation of commercial traffic diversion and natural ecological concern.
