The Low-Carbon Business
Center is defined by the
sustainable design elements urban planning and urban design, traffic planning, building
technologies and energy production. 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. |
