Zhangjiang Incubator Competition

September 2011 Together with reknowned Design Institute SIADR from Shanghai, EHA was one of the competitors in an invited competition for an incubator building in the new urban district of Zhangjiang in Shanghai. The 80 meter tall building constitutes the heart of a new hightech campus, almost exactly between the city center and Pudong airport. The design forges a strong connection between different programmes such as offices, exhibition space and retail, and sets out to encourage encouters and interaction among the users of the building, as well as with the city surrounding it. A smart facade design provides a perfect climate through a minimum energy use and makes the building colourful and recognizable. Unfortunately the EHA and SIADR bid was not selected to be realised. Nevertheless our excellent collaboration will be continued.
