The jury lauded ASPECT’s approach to place activation over multiple levels, with a truly mixed-use program evident throughout.
The design explores the borderless integration of parks and businesses, experiences and places, and people and nature. The goal is to create a destination for diversified urban life, where different social groups meet and mix in an experiential setting.
Commissioned artworks will tell the story of the past and future of this place. It is also an immersive micro-trip to the city, where local culture and art creations tell the story of the past and future. A full-time matrix of vitality, a pleasant spatial scale and functional layout, accommodating different communities, meeting consumer demand, and bringing a rich experience; it will become a green island of natural healing, where man and nature are linked, and symbiosis occurs.
Stephen Buckle, Design Director of ASPECT’s China studios, said:
ASPECT Studios won against a formidable shortlist of international landscape architecture firms. Our congratulations go to our design team in Shanghai for such an amazing result.
