KAMJZ Reveals Proposal for Shenzhen Bay Super City Masterplan




Quote:
KAMJZ Architects has recently revealed their competition entry with a plan that proposes a more sustainable city center through the design of a radical new typology for office towers. Read on after the break to learn more about the proposed masterplan.

The plan focuses on creating maximum usable space in the towers for people rather than competing for the title of the tallest building in the skyline. An identifiable feature in the design is the terraced form and the creation of outdoor balconies at various heights in the buildings. Outdoor terraces would provide space for retail shops and pedestrian spaces, while potentially spreading out across Shenzhen Super City. These terraces are a key component in the masterplan to allow for rainwater harvesting, solar energy, and green spaces. As these terraces are elevated from the street level, they provide shade for the spaces below and act as large public gardens.
