This industrial park, located in Nanjing’s prominent Hongshan District, is an iterative upgrade of Shenzhen Galaxy World that will activate industry and finance city innovation. SWA proposed a “rivers and stars” design concept for the north and south commercial districts respectively, creating an attractive, flowing, high-quality commercial landscape for this active urban core that brings nature into the tech park, and connects it to the city’s green corridor.
The outdoor spaces within the No. 2018G16 plot were organized into five different areas: an innovative gateway plaza, a distinctive courtyard, a core social area, a green lane, and a calming cove/bay. While each area has its own signature focus, all are united by a consistent design language under native canopy. The design, which was based on the concept of a “river” flowing through the development, activates each space, capitalizing on the campus’ connections to the local municipal road and urban green corridor. Unique sculptures and nodes along the user’s journey provide iconic focal points, while all the zones are unified by a consistent design language that guides them throughout the campus.
