Friends who often live in Wuhan are familiar with it. Hankou is still an area with a strong commercial atmosphere in the city. Jiang 'an and Jianghan District, as the central city, are one of the most popular areas, and well-known business districts and pedestrian streets can be seen everywhere. 19 1 1 is one of the most prominent features. This prominence is first reflected in the regional position. 19 1 1 is built in the core area of Hankou Railway Station, a popular area in Jianghan District, just across the street from the railway station. It comes out from the South Square, crosses Qingnian Road and Jindun Street Road eastward, and reaches Xinhua Road. Crossing the second ring viaduct of Development Avenue, 19 1 1 Pedestrian Street faces north, including high-rise office buildings, hotels, small high-rise shops and low-rise three-dimensional franchised businesses.
On the whole, 19 1 1 Apart from its name, its most striking feature is architecture. The name changed to 19 1 1, which obviously symbolizes the Revolution of 1911 in history. However, in the actual architectural style, there are not many related themes and logos. The developer estimates that 19 1 1 has become a pure digital logo, which downplays historical background factors. Different from the concession in name, the design and construction of the building did apply the style of combining Chinese and western styles, specifically using the architectural style of the Republic of China, which was actually related to the historical development of Wuhan. After all, during the Republic of China, Wuhan had a very good appearance and was known as Chicago in the East. 19 1 1 trying to represent the epitome of Wuhan in this period, it is impossible to cover everything, just choose a small point.
You can understand the expression of this so-called "microcosm" and "a point" by actually visiting 19 1 pedestrian street. For example, the navigation signs at the entrance and the theme sculpture design are very innovative. Nautical cards are engraved on stone cards and wooden cards, which become old and unique when painted; The theme sculpture "Great Wuhan 19 1 1" skillfully connects Chinese characters and numbers into a whole by using the conversion between their thickness and digital strokes, which makes Chinese characters and numbers distinctive, enlarges the whole number and makes it stand out, thus becoming a complete work of art.. The theme sculpture is at the entrance of the intersection of Development Avenue and Xinhua Road in the north, which is actually the entrance of the pedestrian street, and there are also several motor vehicle entrances in other directions.
The theme sculpture at the entrance is eye-catching, which is in sharp contrast with the main building on both sides. The main building is also beautifully designed and the layout is very interesting. The buildings near Xinhua Road are obviously old buildings of the Republic of China, with red brick walls, white eaves and wooden window sills, and a row of old European clocks stands on the roof in the middle. Symmetrical buildings near the development avenue are typical European style, and the overall color is mainly cement gray and white. The single color system is very cold, and squares and apartment corners can be seen everywhere. The most striking thing is a few Roman columns in front of the gate, which was almost the standard of European architecture at that time. A Chinese-style building, a Western-style building and a row of sculptures in front form a three-dimensional layout, and then a pedestrian street and square are pulled out, which is the most common routine in commercial design.
Entering the pedestrian street from the entrance of Development Avenue and Xinhua Road is a landmark, so whenever the weather is fine, young artists always come to shoot. Walking along two Chinese and western buildings to the pedestrian street, I found that the scenery inside was more prominent. In addition to the common green belts and architectural sculptures, there are public benches and hanging balloons for leisure, and the atmosphere feels very warm. Continue to walk a few steps, the shops are open, lined up, very dense, basically the favorite place for foodies to pay attention to. Shops have restaurant chains, snack chains and brand supermarkets. The storefront is not big, but it is exquisitely decorated and has a strong literary atmosphere. Walking in such a food street, the air is full of the smell of food, as well as the smell of popcorn, full of aroma.
Shops are not limited to the first floor. In fact, several shops in 19 1 1 are mainly on the second and third floors. The conjoined podium and the three-dimensional duplex building are mixed together, and the stairs and elevators are intertwined. Going to this entrance is the stairs. When you turn around, another elevator appears next to you. However, at the entrance, there must be a sign, which indicates the floor and what the floor is, and what restaurants are delicious in bold. Go to the second floor, switch between the balcony and the aisle, and all the shops you see are neon flashing, which is very lively. Under the light, music is also essential, and the atmosphere of the commercial street, that is, the rotation of light and sound, has become a gripping advertisement. There are snacks, fruits and milk tea in the specialty store. These three industries have wide adaptability and many consumer groups.
As for the impression of 19 1 1, I still stay at 20 16. I remember when passing the entrance of Xinhua Road and Development Avenue, you will always see millions of luxury cars parked in the square in front of 19 1 1. Some of them are models and some are rich children. No matter what the real background is, that car brought 19 1 1 a hot topic and attention, so that it will be remembered even if it develops well or badly in the future. On the contrary, the office building in the south of 19 1 1 is for the exclusive use of gold owners, and the press conference and brand meeting are very special, and the popularity never stops.
