如果義大利探險家馬可波羅（Marco Polo）稱福州為如寶石般的商業中心，那麼位於福州市中心的福州五四北泰禾廣場（Fuzhou Wusibei Thaihot Plaza），則是SPARK建築事務所心目中現代版的寶石。

五四北泰禾廣場多面體的設計提供了許多不同的功能空間並塑造出廣場獨特的外型，並能吸引更多遊客的目光而進入廣場消費；同時，相較於一般筆直的走道設計可讓顧客快速移動，泰禾廣場波浪狀的店面外表設計則創造出自然的漲落感與購物動線，並讓顧客有種動態的購物經驗。

泰禾廣場外觀的多彩鋁板產生出不斷變化的色彩，幾處特地配置的鋁板像是會發光的招牌箱、廣告區及三處由LED組成的面板提供了主要的視覺功能；而孔狀的外觀鋁板則讓泰禾廣場在夜晚時如同一顆閃閃發光的寶石。

泰禾廣場在動線上也有其獨特的設計。一般商場中位於較高樓層的電影院及KTV等等的營業時間會比零售商店區的時間還長，因此在電影院及KTV等場所於凌晨營業時間過後顧客便需穿越過又暗又無空調的零售商店區。為了解決這問題，泰禾廣場的動線系統分成了各為12及24小時的二套互補動線系統。白日營業的零售商店區與購物區整合使用12小時的動線系統，而24小時動線系統則設計為沿著商店區，從底層通至屋頂的垂直空間如電梯及露臺等等，提供顧客於頂樓區的活動如迷你高爾夫及24小時餐飲區。這24小時的動線規劃與緊鄰的行人通道使得廣場北面區域成了一充滿活力的動線區。

負責設計泰禾廣場的SPARK建築事務所總監Jan Clostermann表示，「24小時的垂直空間動線設計是SPARK一項重要的概念，而SPARK的開幕對這街道文化城市也帶來了巨大的影響。」

遊客進入泰禾廣場後如同進入了一個四周閃耀著不同顏色光影的巨大中庭，以及一個懸掛於中庭如同由戶外多立面外觀延伸至室內的水晶LED廣告寶石視覺效果，這是SPARK特地設計的室內視覺感。原本白色的室內中庭氛圍因具有強烈雕刻感、色彩感的手扶梯以及廣場中的線性LED燈支型吊燈顯得更加活潑；燈光透過散佈於中庭空橋的窺視孔看起來如同是撒滿廣場的珠寶，更是吸引遊客驚奇的眼光。

It is recorded history that after visiting Fuzhou, Marco Polo described the city as “an important centre of commerce in precious stones.” Fuzhou Wusibei Thaihot Plaza is the modern day ‘precious stone’, a gem, located in the heart of Fuzhou soon to be discovered by many alike.

The Building
The many facets of the building exist to serve different functions in plan and the building facade. Easing the edges of the building in plan increases sightlines into the pedestrian street, which helps draws people in. Unlike some straight streets that shoot pedestrians quickly through, an undulating tenant facade facilitates the natural ebb and flow of pedestrian traffic, creating a dynamic shopping experience.

Colour shifting aluminium panels on the facade creates an exterior appearance that is constantly changing. While most panels are the building skin, select facets serve key visual functions such as illuminated signage boxes, advertisements, and three LED screens. At night, perforations in the aluminium panels allow light to pass through to create a starry night effect.

The Circulation
The typical mall typology locates functions such as cinemas & KTV at upper levels of malls. These functions operate into the early hours of the morning long past the closing time of other retail facilities necessitating the public to navigate a difficult journey down out of darkened non air conditioned space.

To mitigate this dilemma, Fuzhou Wusibei Thaihot Plaza has two complementary circulation routes, a 12 hour day route and a 24 hour route. Retail programs that operate in the day are consolidated into a shopping mall podium typology (12hour). Circulation routes and terraces are carved out of the podium facilitating access to the roof top where there are a variety of activities such as miniature golf and full service dining can be found(24 hour).
When the normal shopping functions have closed, customers are provided with an alternate route lined with shops and terraces snaking along the podium fac?ade (24 hour). This route is further animated by its adjacency to the pedestrian street. The entire north facade becomes a living entity full of movement and energy.

“The project is an important step for SPARK to bring our 24 hour vertical street concept to reality. The opening day has shown that it will make a big impact to this street culture city” says Jan Clostermann, Director of SPARK.

The Interior Space
On a rare occasion, chipping away at a stone will lead to the discovery of a cavernous core lined with mineral deposits exploding with radiant colour and light. The experience of entering Spark’s proposed mall in Fuzhou is equally dazzling as a voluminous atrium filled with vibrant colour and light greets the visitor.

As an extension of the faceted fac?ade a crystalline LED advertisement gem hovers over the atrium concierge as the visual focal point upon entering the mall. The pristine white interior atrium is accentuated by colour highlights on the escalators which are sculpturally composed in the middle of the atrium. Linear LED light chandeliers sit over the interior events plaza. Back lit floor peepholes strew across the atrium bridges like scattered jewels as a playful addition to the space, attracting curious onlookers. The key materials are: Black and white reconstituted stone, stretch ceiling light box, tinted laminated glass, rainbow tinted acrylic, composite aluminium panels and Glass Reinforced Gypsum board.
