Located at Jinwan Core Area in Pudong, Shanghai, the project features excellent landscape resources despite the relatively narrow land. The site's conditions have shaped two main design directions: expressing the theme of nature through architectural spaces and developing vertically (rather than horizontally) to maximize spatial possibilities. Consequently, the concept of "layered scientific cluster" have been established. By integrating different functions into multiple layers, it's to create an internal industrial ecosystem. Furthermore, diverse semi-open spaces generated by the staggered layers are utilized to foster more interactions between interior and exterior, achieving a harmonious dialogue between architecture and nature.
The west side of the site faces the city road and serves as the park's main entrance, while the east side features a river that runs through the entire Jinwan district. To address these two interfaces, a primary functional axis has been deliberately designed to serve as the central corridor of the project. To the south, the site borders a new energy vehicle industrial park with relatively low-rise buildings. Adjecent to them, similarly low-rise multi-story laboratory buildings have been designed to achieve a more cohesive spatial relationship. While to the north, there is a planned city park with beautiful scenery. Therefore, three high-rise buildings are planned here to provide better views for the workforce.
The project adopts PV-Storage-DC-Flexible technology, with rooftop photovoltaic system, imitation stone photovoltaic facade, transparent photovoltaic glass and photovoltaic floor tiles, achieving over 15% renewable energy substitution.
The open structure introduces green areas at different levels, enhancing human-nature interaction. The central corridor, sunken courtyards, and gray spaces facilitate natural ventilation, improving environmental comfort. Efficient use of roof space for mechanical facilities releases more garden space, promoting biodiversity. Intelligent management methods increase public activities on non-working days, making the ESG pilot platform of Jinqiao .
The project targets LEED Gold, Well, China's Three-Star Green Building Label, and Zero Carbon certifications.
The design divides the building into three layers: the ground layer, the body layer, and the canopy layer, respectively accommodating public recreational amenities, work and communication space, and professional research space. The design creates an open spatial system that exhibits the "in-between" state, providing rich experiences and forming an environmentally friendly posture.
In the ground layer, a public corridor is created, reserving the possibility for future connection to the metro station. Sunken courtyards surrounded with public facilities are set along it.
Through elevating and recessions, an integrated three-story outdoor activity space is created in the body layer. Various semi-open spaces with landscape elements and smart projection technology provide high-quality resting and communication areas for researchers. Through distributed sports facilities, a micro-marathon route is linked up to the rooftop, offering a unique exercise experience. The canopy layer maximizes the use of remaining rooftop space to set different themed gardens, including two specially planned internal circulation farms. The crops grown here will be used in the park's cafeteria.
Related to the future scientific industry, the design of the facade took inspiration from biological genome sequences. The arrangement of vertical decorative rods creates a textured pattern with varying densities, with wood-color emphasizing natural characteristics, blending into the surrounding environment.
The goal of establishing an eco-friendly scientice & technology park aligned with current development trends is impressive. The completion of this project will undoubtedly lead the development of Shanghai's scientific industry and the high-quality transformation of green buildings.
