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.

“公園商業并不是將公園與商業簡單疊加,而是兩者的有機融合。我們希望利用公園帶給商業開放漫步的購物體驗,讓商業為公園注入不一樣的社交元素,將其背后的人、城、境、業完美融合,與業主方打造出一條兼具城市客廳功能且極具開放性的24小時Social新場域,引領城市風尚的新地標的理念不謀而合。”項目的主要設計人Aedas院士及全球設計董事溫子先博士(Dr. Andy Wen)如是說。
‘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.

已投入運營的一期項目,將設計理念轉化為令人驚喜的空間體驗。步入其中,最直觀的感受是傳統商業的物理邊界在行進間悄然消融——沒有封閉的盒子式建筑,取而代之的是由口袋公園、立體連廊與開放店鋪交織成的三維城市界面。在這里,建筑骨架與公共空間形成了有機的共生關系:錯動疊合的空中平臺通過坡道、階梯自然銜接,如同引導探索的城市路徑;精心布局的精選店鋪與文化活動,源源不斷吸引著不同需求的來訪者;而散布動線中的休憩節點,又將流動的人潮轉化為駐留的風景。這種"空間吸引活動-活動激活商業-商業反哺空間"的閉環,正在重塑城市公共生活的能量流動模式。
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.

超線公園一期的成功運營,驗證了"公園商業"模式在成都的可行性。隨著后續地塊開發,這條空中綠脈將催化更復雜的空間交互——從消費目的地進化為社會關系發生器。"我們希望在人與空間的多維互動中,讓充滿溫度的建筑化身城市情感的交換場域、真正的市民生活發生器,重構人與城市的關系。"正如溫子先博士(Dr. Andy Wen)所言,當空間學會容納市井的自發秩序,鋼筋水泥便擁有了與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.
