100,000 sqft - 300,000 sqft
Drawing upon years of experience in designing modern technology headquarters, the design team not only fully meets the functional and efficiency demands of the office campus, but also transforms the planning constraints of the city and architecture into distinctive architectural expressions. Infused with fresh design philosophies and artistic sensibilities, the building takes shape as a unique and captivating form—an architectural presence full of delight and surprise. It is this seamless blend of function, form, and imagination that defines the true essence of the design, offering endless inspiration and joy to both its users and passersby.
The Qingdao Inspur Big Data Center is located in the heart of Qingdao’s historic urban core. Surrounded by aging residential neighborhoods, schools, and traditional street-front shops, the site is embedded within a landscape of longstanding urban life. As a result, the design faced stringent constraints regarding building density, traffic flow, sunlight exposure, and noise control. While the project functions as a cutting-edge research hub for big data technology, it also carries the responsibility of coexisting harmoniously with the surrounding community and revitalizing the aging district. The design team embraced these limitations as an opportunity, seeking to transform them through an artistic architectural language into a unifying vision—one that ultimately becomes the project’s greatest strength.
The Qingdao Inspur Big Data Campus aspires to create a high-tech research center that is interconnected, vibrant, community-friendly, low-carbon, and sustainably developed. The architectural form is shaped in response to the site’s exceptionally complex constraints—ranging from stringent sunlight exposure and height limits to challenging traffic conditions—while also addressing the need to humanize the scale of a large building within a residential urban context. Through a combination of rigorous analysis and artistic interpretation, the design fulfills planning requirements related to height, setbacks, spatial configuration, traffic flow, municipal integration, and functional layout. At the same time, it thoughtfully balances the project’s core principles of human-centered design, ecological greenery, and low-carbon operation, ultimately unlocking the site’s fullest potential.
The architecture respects the fabric of the city, carefully controlling building height to reduce light and noise pollution from the Anshan elevated roadway, and minimizing its impact on the surrounding residential areas. At the same time, it transforms site constraints into defining design features. By responding to stringent sunlight requirements, the roofline evolves into a dynamic, undulating form—expressing a sense of contrast, sequence, and rhythm that imbues the building with a unique and poetic architectural character.
The architectural inspiration stems from the concept of an “infinite loop”—a dynamic ecological circulation that flows seamlessly from ground to rooftop and back again. Employees can begin their journey at either of the building’s two starting points, ascending a series of outdoor steps that lead to each rooftop garden and interior workspace. This continuous path gradually rises, culminating at the southwest corner of the building, where sweeping views of Jiaozhou Bay and the distant peaks of Mount Laoshan unfold. It is a spatial experience that intertwines movement, landscape, and architecture into a harmonious whole.
The circulation strategy of the building emphasizes clarity and simplicity, with a clear separation between pedestrian and vehicular traffic. While adhering to the city’s planning regulations and the broader urban road network, the design proactively optimizes the internal road layout. By thoughtfully positioning vehicle and pedestrian entrances and exits, it significantly reduces traffic pressure within the site and on the surrounding neighborhoods, creating a more efficient and harmonious urban interface.
