atelier DYML 大奕明亮建筑事务所

Based in Shanghai, atelier DYML anchors commercial mixed-use towers and retail complexes through a distinct interplay of heavy concrete or brick bases, expansive upper-floor perimeter glazing, and integrated luminous focal points. This portfolio serves as a strong reference when resolving the integration of corner-wrapping illuminated media displays or embedding central glowing circulation elements between massive structural wings.

Commercial high-rise towers with a patterned honeycomb facade and large digital media screens by atelier DYML.

北京T-Mall

A dynamic commercial complex precedent featuring a honeycomb tower envelope paired with massive interactive digital media displays and active public steps.

What we like about this project
Giant vertical LED display integrated seamlessly as the central focal point between distinct tower volumes.

Geometry
Complex multi-volume composition combining a curved tower with a honeycomb diagrid facade and a rectilinear podium integrated with large digital media screens.
Facade system
Unitized honeycomb diagrid curtain wall alongside integrated LED media glass screens.
Structural guess
Steel frame and concrete core with exterior diagrid diag-framing system.
Spatial scale
Massive multi-story commercial scale dwarfing the street-level pedestrians.
Lighting
Twilight illumination balanced between the glowing digital media screens, interior store lights, and fading blue-hour ambient light.
Atmosphere
Vibrant, luminous, and energetic evening urban atmosphere driven by digital displays.
Environmental context
High-density urban commercial district with heavy pedestrian traffic at dusk.
Spatial experience
Pedestrians navigate a busy urban public plaza converging on grand illuminated steps leading up to the retail entrance.
Composition rhythm
Asymmetric juxtaposition of vertical hexagonal geometry against flat rectilinear media planes.
