  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Celebrates Opening of Spring City 66 the Design Reconnects Kunming's Pedestrian Pathways As It Nods
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Celebrates Opening of Spring City 66 The design reconnects Kunming’s pedestrian pathways as it nods to the unique landscape of Yunnan Province. New York, New York – February 21, 2020 – Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) recently celebrated the opening of Spring City 66, a mixed-use development in Kunming, China. One of the largest commercial complexes in the city, the 430,000 m2 Spring City 66 is comprised of a retail podium and office tower that are carefully integrating into the surrounding context. Located adjacent to two major pedestrian-friendly boulevards and metro lines, Spring City 66’s accessibility and public amenities weave this high-density, mixed-use destination directly into the urban fabric of Kunming. Design Inspiration The design for Spring City 66 is responds to Yunnan Province’s unique landscape and its location along historic trade routes. A landscaped promenade, reminiscent of the region’s verdant valleys, is central to the project, while the surrounding undulating retail podium and a crag-like tower nod to the nearby Shilin Stone Forest’s notable limestone formations. The project’s varied program weaves along multiple levels of terraces lined with shops and restaurants, creating a vibrant destination for the city. “The KPF design for Spring City 66 illustrates our belief that the most compelling architecture strongly expresses the spirit of its place. Kunming is a city of outdoor life, of vibrant color, and exciting topography. This building reflects that character in the shape of its roofs, and in its facade materials. We worked closely with Hang Lung, as we have previously in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong, to weave together varied activities of working, shopping, and dwelling into one urban hive of activity,” notes KPF President and Design Principal James von Klemperer.
