The design improves people's social participation by adding sufficient light to distinguish and enhance the recognition of cultural stations.

The ripple aluminum punching mesh on curved surfaces is used for the ceiling design of vertical streamline area, and extended to the decoration on columns. The ceiling of Yanxianglu station outlines a vivid of petals by lighting lines, and the outer area is installed with wooden grilles to enhance path guidance and showcase the journey of perception through material and color comparison.

The geometric spatial model of the station is obtained in the way of logical derivation, and geometric triangles are twisted, transformed and arranged to install a set of triangular matrix modules in order. The mirror image and array logic processing techniques are used to form a perception journey full of a sense of future.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:

geometric solid, ripples, petal, Vantreedesign

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
In order to transform the previous urban transportation functional space into a public space with urban theme characteristics, it is necessary to combine specific elements of the station to create a unique spatial style in detail. The surrounding area of Xiyaotou station is a circular plot with many water treatment plants. So that the design is inspired by the symbol translation of ripples, and the ceiling, columns, and tiles are decorated with water ripple shapes.

CHALLENGE:
Due to Xi'an being the capital of 13 dynasties and one of the four ancient capitals in the world, its strong inherent historical and cultural heritage makes it impossible to overlook and breakthrough. During the project development process, designers need to collect and analyze resources around different stations, identify their differences, and enhance the recognition of cultural stations through the design characteristics of each station in the leap of cultural and artistic design elements.

The award-winning work "Xi'an Metro Line 5" truly stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful and innovative design in transforming public spaces into cultural landmarks. It is incredibly inspiring to see how the design team has meticulously integrated Xi'an's rich historical essence with modern design principles to create a subway experience that is not only functional but also deeply immersive. The strategic use of lighting to enhance the recognition of cultural stations and the symbolic translation of local elements into the spatial design are both ingenious approaches that elevate the daily commute into an exploration of the city's heritage. The commitment to research and the creative challenges navigated in paying homage to Xi'an's historical significance while pushing the bounds of contemporary design is commendable. This project not only serves the practical needs of urban transportation but also enriches the social and cultural fabric of the city, making it a deserving recipient of the A' Design Award in the Interior Space and Exhibition Design category. The collaboration between the designers and their ability to bring such a visionary concept to life is truly inspirational, and it is with great admiration that I celebrate their success.

Xi'an Metro Line 5 stands as a testament to innovative and thoughtful design, blending the rich historical essence of Xi'an with the dynamism of modern urban life. Winning the A' Design Award in the Interior Space and Exhibition Design category, this project not only enhances the functional aspect of urban transportation but also elevates it to a form of public art that encourages social participation and cultural recognition. The ingenious integration of light to demarcate cultural stations and the symbolic use of water ripples at the Xiyaotou station are remarkable for their creativity and sensitivity to context. Furthermore, the challenge of incorporating Xi'an's profound historical and cultural significance into a contemporary design narrative has been addressed with exceptional skill and research. The use of geometric spatial models and logical sequencing at the Ligongdaqujiangxiaoqu station showcases a forward-thinking approach to design that is both intellectually engaging and aesthetically pleasing. This work is a shining example of how design can influence and enhance our daily environments, making the journey through Xi'an Metro Line 5 not just a commute but an immersive cultural experience.
