The unusual Dongfeng Shopping Mall designed by Los Angeles-based studio amphibanArc, inspired by the traditional Chinese treasure bowl symbolizing good fortune and peace.

From the architect:

‘Located in the upmost residential district of Northwest Zhengzhou, the Dongfeng City project constitutes a radical interpretation of shopping mall, setting a precedent in the region for contemporary urban development. This 350,000 sqm building covers nine levels of retail and family entertainments, an elevated fountain plaza, an indoor canal, numerous theme restaurants, one hotel tower, highlighted by an iconic LED canopy stretching across the top of the entire complex.’
