Location
Taikoo Li Sanlitun is adjacent to Beijing Subway Line 2 Dongsi Shitiao Station, and Line 10 Tuanjiehu Station.
History and construction
The centre opened in July 2008 and was developed and managed by Hong Kong-based Swire Properties (Taikoo Properties). It comprise two sites:
The centre opened in July 2008 and contains 140 stores, dining outlets and services including a multi-screen theatre.
The area includes a large number of stores, especially fashion brands. It also includes art galleries focusing on avant-garde and contemporary Chinese and foreign artists.
Architects
It was designed by a group led by the Oval partnership from Hong Kong, and Japanese architect Kengo Kuma (隈 研吾).
The design of the Taikoo Li Sanlitun is inspired by Beijing's Hutongs and Siheyuan courtyards, comprising a mix of unusual shapes, textures and vibrant colours, and blending the Beijing of the past with its more worldly, cosmopolitan present. Taikoo Li South blends a traditional hutong lifestyle with twenty-first century modernity and sophistication. Taikoo Li North draws its courtyard form from China's Siheyuan, in which architectural style displays a feel of urban sophistication and keen sense for fashion.
The architects intend that it stand for something a different than the conventional enclosed air-conditioned commercial developments dotted across modern Asia. This includes much needed public space for Beijing's residents and visitors, breaking up the development with alleys and courtyards influenced by the Beijing of yesteryear, as well as modern pieces such as an open fountain and little touches from contemporary artists.
Other facilities
To the east of the Taikoo Li lies Bar Street, one of Beijing's most popular night destinations for both locals and visitors, with a wide array of bars, clubs, and restaurants.
Just west of Taikoo Li South is the Workers Stadium, Beijing's premier sporting and music venue, and home to the Beijing Guoan.
The C5 Gallery is a professional art institute devoted to promoting young Chinese contemporary artists to a wider audience and facilitating art's positive influence on peoples' lives.
