Aedas has designed the 2.4 km long Hyperlane, integrating urban life, commercial activities, and natural landscapes into a unique space that represents the future of mixed-use development on the northern axis of Chengdu's urban center. The first phase of the Hyperlane is now open, introducing a new urban model that combines roads, commercial areas and green corridors, creating an innovative space that unites nature and culture.
Hyperlane consists of 12 plots, featuring a sky garden on the third level of the buildings connected by bridges. This design forms a continuous urban landscape corridor that energises the neighborhood, encouraging interactions among people, the city, the environment and various businesses. Inspired by rhythms and sounds, the design team has incorporated musical elements into the architecture and façades, resonating with the renowned SichuanConservatory of Music adjacent to the park. The park also features 24-hour functional spaces, such as an open-air theater, skate park, graffiti park, and interactive art installations, creating a round-the-clock urban stage for shopping, leisure, and socialising.

“公园商业并不是将公园与商业简单叠加,而是两者的有机融合。我们希望利用公园带给商业开放漫步的购物体验,让商业为公园注入不一样的社交元素,将其背后的人、城、境、业完美融合,与业主方打造出一条兼具城市客厅功能且极具开放性的24小时Social新场域,引领城市风尚的新地标的理念不谋而合。”项目的主要设计人Aedas院士及全球设计董事温子先博士(Dr. Andy Wen)如是说。
‘Blending recreational parks and commercial space is not as simple as overlaying the two together. A natural integration of them both must be achieved to cultivate synergy. We want to use the park to attract traffic for businesses and allow people to experience a social element with their shopping experience. This results in an ideal integration of the city and its people with landscape and businesses while creating an urban oasis that is functional and open. The concept behind creating this landmark that realises a new way of socialising is one that is fitting to Chengdu's constantly evolving and dynamic appeal.’ – Aedas Global Design Principal, Dr. Andy Wen.

已投入运营的一期项目,将设计理念转化为令人惊喜的空间体验。步入其中,最直观的感受是传统商业的物理边界在行进间悄然消融——没有封闭的盒子式建筑,取而代之的是由口袋公园、立体连廊与开放店铺交织成的三维城市界面。在这里,建筑骨架与公共空间形成了有机的共生关系:错动叠合的空中平台通过坡道、阶梯自然衔接,如同引导探索的城市路径;精心布局的精选店铺与文化活动,源源不断吸引着不同需求的来访者;而散布动线中的休憩节点,又将流动的人潮转化为驻留的风景。这种"空间吸引活动-活动激活商业-商业反哺空间"的闭环,正在重塑城市公共生活的能量流动模式。
The first phase of the project showcases an impressive urban experience and lifestyle. Traditional shop boundaries no longer exist, as closed, boxy buildings have been removed. Instead, the design creates a three-dimensional urban landscape that includes pocket parks, walkways, and open shops. Buildings and public areas blend seamlessly, with raised platforms connected by ramps and stairs that guide exploration throughout the park. Well-placed shops and cultural events cater to perse needs, while resting spots are distributed throughout the park to encourage foot traffic. Thislayout design injects vitality into the spaces and transforms the flow of energy in urban life.
The project breaks traditional ‘floor’ boundaries with an innovative 3D street network. At the east entrance, staggered escalators guide people up from the ground floor to the second-level platform and third-level garden, creating a path for exploration. The eight escalators between the building sections provide convenient commute across levels, and at the same time create a visual highlight for the park.
The park comes alive through a ‘visual dialogue’ created by the layered levels. From the second-level cantilever platform, people can overlook the smooth curves made by skateboarders in the ground-level pump track park. From the third-level garden, people can spot children playing in the water plaza below. This interweaving of views across different levels, combined with the staggered flow of people from the escalators, delivers a buzzing and lively atmosphere.
The park features two 24-hour pocket parks that connect different aspects of city life. The north-side pump track park serves rollerblader and bike riders, while an interactive water plaza serves as a lively resting space where kids can play with each other. At night, the plaza features charming lights to keep the area vibrant for night runners and city walkers.
An bridge connecting the blocks creates multiple paths and serves as a viewpoint, enhancing the walking experience and making the passage itself a memorable event, where people take selfies and joggers’ paths intertwine.
Focusing on empowering spaces, retail areas have been restructured with a human-centeredapproach. Retail shops blend into the park’s landscape, with outdoor seating areas seamlessly connecting to public resting spaces, while markets and events transform public spaces into creative showcases. This ‘Park-Commercial’ approach makes shopping an integral part of the area's vibrancy, turning it into a lively gathering place.

超线公园一期的成功运营,验证了"公园商业"模式在成都的可行性。随着后续地块开发,这条空中绿脉将催化更复杂的空间交互——从消费目的地进化为社会关系发生器。"我们希望在人与空间的多维互动中,让充满温度的建筑化身城市情感的交换场域、真正的市民生活发生器,重构人与城市的关系。"正如温子先博士(Dr. Andy Wen)所言,当空间学会容纳市井的自发秩序,钢筋水泥便拥有了与城市共呼吸的生命力。
The approach creates more dynamic interactions, transforming the park from a shopping destination into a generator of social connections. ‘We hope to create a space where buildings express warmth, encourage interactions and energise urban life, reshaping the relationship between people and the city.’ Andy shares.
