Aquatic Shopping Malls

This China Retail Center Will Feature an Aquarium and Entertainment Space

This China retail center concept is inspired by the traditional treasure bowls that are synonymous with the booming nation. Adorned with an LED-lit canopy, this futuristic shopping mall draws inspiration from aquatic design and is set to feature an in-house aquarium.

In addition to its aquarium and vast entertainment spaces, this China retail center's plans also reveal a place for gondola rides and is conceived with American architecture firm amphibianArc. The retail center is part of China's Dongfeng City renovation project and will span a total of 350,000 square meters in size.

While China is no stranger to futuristic architecture and innovative retail, this shopping mall goes one step further and not only acts as a shopping venue but also as a tourist attraction or place of entertainment.
