As a core plot along the industrial development axis (Fengpu Avenue) in Fengxian District, the second - phase planned land area of the project is approximately 28,600 square meters, with a total floor area of around 90,500 square meters. It consists of 2 towers and 12 R & D workshops. Dominated by the function of "intelligent technology manufacturing", it is an innovative and composite park integrating enterprise office R & D, living quarters, and leisure commerce, capable of accommodating thousands of people for work and life simultaneously.
The highly intensive site, coupled with the conditions of ultra-high density and floor area ratio, virtually dictates that the buildings can only be arranged in the most efficient checkerboard matrix layout. Under this premise, the primary design challenge of this project lies in breaking away from the conventional enclosed nature of industrial parks and establishing a new balance between production efficiency and the quality of office spaces. At the same time, standardized and modular systems contribute to achieving higher quality facades within more controlled construction costs while shortening the construction cycle.
The spatial organization of traditional industrial buildings often follows the logic of rigidly segmented assembly lines, forming introverted and closed - off functional units. To meet the diverse and composite development demands of modern industrial parks, this project adopts the design strategies of "spatial inter - penetration" and "functional symbiosis". Through the north - south ecological landscape main axis, it integrates flexible clusters such as R & D intelligent manufacturing, production testing, and service support, and forms a two - way permeable ecological corridor system with the urban greenbelt to the north. This achieves efficient collaboration in the industrial value chain. By taking the limited internal landscape as an active medium, it reshapes the organic dialogue between the production and R & D spaces and the urban interface.
Vertically connect the green valley space between the city and the park to form an axis. While linking up each cluster, combine with the landscape and paving to guide the formation of a convenient open path, connecting the two plots of Phase I and Phase II in the north and south.
Radiate from the central axis to both sides to form squares, courtyards, roof terraces and street - alley spaces, providing a multi - level research environment for the park.
Arrange single - building R & D workshops adjacent to the production workshops of Phase I, continuing the scale and function, and forming a production linkage with the production workshops of Phase I to improve the operational efficiency of the park.
Modern and pure design language clearly outlines a concise and powerful building contour. The use of standardized facade units and modern materials creates a sense of lightness and neat order. The curtain wall is a crucial part of the building's thermal performance, accounting for approximately 40% of the overall energy consumption, thus being the key to energy conservation. The building curtain wall system in the park uses blue - gray Low - E coated laminated glass with a moderate permeability rate to meet the energy - saving requirements and usage efficiency of the park. MUDO reduces the area of the glass curtain wall through shaping, and conducts detailed design and optimization of the framed curtain wall. Under limited costs, it effectively ensures the completion quality of the building.
Through the dislocation and interlocking of building masses, the architecture creates an interface image with rich layers, vitality, and flexibility. Continuing the facade vocabulary of the production workshops in Phase I, it mainly features vertical lines, creating a strong sense of order and visual extensibility, and shaping a sense of upward - growing power. With a unified architectural language and characteristics, it integrates buildings of different scales and from different periods within the site.
Different forms of vertical lines form a unified yet rich visual order and a more delicate architectural texture.
Vertical metal aluminum panels of different thicknesses create rich rhythmic variations. Coupled with the staggered advancement and retreat of the towers, they create a simple and efficient visual effect.
Along Fengpu Avenue, research and office buildings as well as a city hotel are arranged to radiate to the surrounding areas, shaping a continuous, powerful and well - regulated urban interface. Under the compact set - back boundary, through the front - to - back staggering of the main building volume and the interlocking of podium boxes, a transition to the scale of multi - storey buildings is achieved. Meanwhile, outdoor shared public spaces are created as much as possible to facilitate formal or informal communication.
The south side of the site consists of 12 building boxes at the block scale, which are staggered with each other, creating a rich interface. The building boxes are arranged around the courtyard at a human - scale, creating a block - scale environment and ensuring a relatively open landscape view between each other.
In the balance between cost and aesthetics, the R & D workshops are efficiently implemented with a "standardized curtain - wall system" and "modular construction". The vertically extended facade texture not only strengthens the architectural tension. Internally, through strategies such as subtraction and inward recesses, the sense of congestion between multiple workshops is effectively alleviated. The vertical strip - shaped windows, combined with the contrast between the virtual and real of the staggered vertical lines, endow the building with a modern sense of lightness and suspension, ultimately presenting the regular industrial modules as light and transparent carriers of modern technology.
