Situated at the busiest HUB of the Chinese East Coast, the first Low-Carbon Business Center of this size is being planned.
In the early planning stages these parameters were analyzed, evaluated and integrated in the overall master planning. The design goals were defined by planning standards and guidelines and will be realized in a team together with architects, energy- and facility planners, specialists for building technologies, traffic planners and landscape architects as well as the urban planning institute.
Due to the convenient location close to the Shanghai city center and well connected to the new East Coast HUB, the concept offers concentrated and compact building sites with simultaneous consideration of sufficiently dimensioned and clearly defined open spaces, which are an important part of the energy balance and calculations.
Public space that follows the classical urban sequences is formed by dividing the area into quarters each with an own identity and by selective subtraction of the maximized marketable area.
This “urban platform” offers spatial qualities which cannot normally be found in standard business centers.
