A new district has opened in Xi’an, China that pays tribute to the city’s rich heritage in crafts and ceramics. The Xi’an Cultural Business District (CCBD) is a dynamic urban landscape that brings together retail, green spaces, and cultural references to the ancient capital’s heritage, writes Designboom.
Located south of Xi’an’s historic center, the CCBD sits between the ruins of the Temple of Heaven and the Shaanxi TV Tower. The 155,000-square-meter development combines retail space, terraces, open plazas, offices, apartments, and residential units with pedestrian streets and a vertical park. Its layered design creates a district that seamlessly connects to the city while offering modern amenities.

Ceramics are at the heart of Heatherwick Studio’s design, drawing inspiration from the city’s famous Terracotta Army. The facade, columns, and curved beams are clad in hand-blown ceramic tiles created in collaboration with local artisans.
The architects used over 100,000 tiles with a unique glaze developed after more than 2,000 experiments, which even included full-scale mock-ups of the columns. The resulting design invites visitors to physically interact with the materials, creating a tactile and visual connection to the area’s historic roots.
The centerpiece of Heatherwick Studio’s design is the Xi’an Tree, a 57-meter-tall vertical park located in the central plaza. Visitors can climb its 56 terraces, which are cascading gardens inspired by the biomes of the ancient Silk Road—from alpine tundra to dry steppe. The tree offers panoramic views of the area’s interconnected rooftops, terraces and streets, as well as the surrounding cityscape.
