The fundamental feature of the design is the integration of nature and
the advancement of technology. Technology is the facilitator to the
drawing out of the “truth” from nature, which, by the standards of the
design team, should be nurtured and protected so that it may procure
knowledge. Therefore, the natural landscape is maintained in the design
proposal.
The master plan includes several buildings resting on the natural
topographical features of Shenzhen and Nanshan District and the site in
particular, notably individual hills and mountains, among which are an
ancient burial mound hill. In addition, new landscapes are introduced to
provide zones for programmatic elements that support the cultural
development and the technological imperative of the design.
The technology campus is envisioned as The City of Discovery,
Opportunity & Reward and is organized in a series of districts and
key centers that reflect traditional and modern cities. The ancient
burial mound is the heart of the campus and the surrounding four
districts reflect their specific programmatic functions:
District of Inspiration – Entrepreneurship Incubator Center
District of Investigation –Medical Instruments & Meters
District of Knowledge – Entrepreneurship & Industrial District Service Center
District of Realization – Outsourcing Services
District of Investigation –Medical Instruments & Meters
District of Knowledge – Entrepreneurship & Industrial District Service Center
District of Realization – Outsourcing Services
Although distinct, the four districts all maintain a dedication to
public space and the city center – the Realm of Discovery. The “city
center” is an element that is intended for use by all visitors, both for
the University and the surrounding neighborhood. Technology Park is
designed to become an extension of the city, a microcosm that opens the
relationship of technology and nature beyond the University and into the
community. The programmatic flexibility in the development of the site
represents research and developmental facilities that are not closed off
to the public and provide optimism for innovation and discovery in
future generations.
