‘Shougang’ Park is located on the westward extension of Chang’an Avenue in Beijing, which connects a series of important spaces and historic buildings. This steel mill was one of the largest sources of pollution in Beijing, and discussions to relocate it began in 2004 and continued off and on thereafter
The masterplan area of around 2.8 square kilometres includes a “North District” and a “South District” divided by Chang’an Avenue. The North District, with a total GFA of 1.25 million sq. m, will incorporate two TOD developments, and other functions such as office, public service, living, and retail, with its well-preserved historic buildings and some new developments around them. The development of the South District will be in the long term, and the district is expected to become an area serving various functions and displaying Shougang’s industrial heritage.
With over 100 years of history as Beijing’s major steelwork hub, the district is now facing a new policy to encourage it to become a sustainable mixed-use district for living working and leisure. The brief developed with the guidance of the central government seeks to inject a significant amount of new development into the site. The aspiration is for the district to become a unique highlight within Beijing that adds commercial value to the neighbourhood and cultural value to the city.
Farrells’ masterplan strategy uses a placemaking approach to develop the site in a manner which maintains a unique identity, crafted from its history. The adaptive reuse of factory buildings provides a sensitive urban solution to rejuvenate the district - celebrating the unique character of the district whilst also injecting commercial and residential complemented with leisure and retail, whilst also maintaining and celebrating many of the nearby heritage factory buildings. To maximise the number of heritage structures that are retained, it is proposed that they are to be integrated into the new developments, thereby creating a dialogue between the new and old.
The concept of TOD (transit-oriented development) is applied to ensure the development above and below ground is well connected to the city. High-rise buildings are limited and careful consideration is made to preserve the distinct skyline of chimneys and factory roofs which act as landmarks aiding in wayfinding and navigation. Plazas act as nodes providing clearings from within which the iconic roofs, chimneys and brick facades can be fully appreciated. In key locations, the large factory buildings are broken down to create a finer urban grain and pedestrian-friendly environment that is permeable and promotes walkability.
