Dalian Times Square covers an area of nearly 17,000 sqm and is two stories high, designed by Arquitectonica (ARQ), an internationally renowned architectural design firm that has designed the Westin Hotel in Times Square, New York, USA. The exterior wall is mainly made of glass. In addition to creating a simple and noble feeling, it also takes into account environmental factors to reduce the loss of cooling and heating. The second floor has glass ceilings to increase the natural light in the mall.
