UA Studio7 Project:
“1” represents the whole, the unified manifestation of the separate
“3’s”. By putting together 3 distinctive processes and functions, 1
stronger and efficient complex can be achieved.
In the design, we are trying to illustrate that we can create a unified
compound, a mixed use super center, rather than a simple stacked
combination of economic, ecological and cultural domains.
According to the latest Shenzhen City Master Plan, the Central Shenzhen
Bay region will become the most important pole in Shenzhen and Hong Kong
metropolitan area.
The planning goal is to create in the Shenzhen Bay a world-class city
center, “super headquarters base”, “major economic center”, “super
regional environment” and “super city image” being the key words of the
design bid. We used three design techniques to achieve our goal:
1. In order to free up as much space as possible at the street level for
the public, most of the required area is organized into three super
high rise towers. The towers merge together both at the upper levels
through a sky bridge and in the underground.
2. The ecology efficiency of the development was increased by
integrating the city park in a eco-merging system，connecting the levels
by sunken galleries, rain gardens and planted floating bridges.
3. Over the analysis of its demographic and social situation, we found
that Shenzhen is a typical “immigrant” city, with a high proportion of
young people living and working there. With this in mind, we tried to
design a new type of development, a vibrant city where various functions
like working, living, culture and entertainment merge together.
