gad Introduces Innovative Urban CBD Design Inspired by Lougang Irrigation System
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
gad has unveiled the Lougang City CBD of Taihu Lake, a groundbreaking urban design project located at the south bank of Taihu Lake in Huzhou, China. The project draws inspiration from the unique Lougang irrigation system, integrating high-density urban development with ecological culture to create a new Chinese urban CBD with its own distinct identity.
The project is designed to harmonize with the Lougang landscape, featuring a new headquarters zone and skyscraper complex by the lakeside. The design promotes integration by shifting the original lakeside avenue to create a series of quality waterfront public spaces. Additionally, the project aims to establish a sustainable and smart city for 75,000 residents and white-collar workers, with 132 hectares of ecological areas, including a bay, canal, and green belt.
gad's innovative approach includes the adoption of low-impact development (LID), multi-layer transportation, and low-carbon technology to create a future city that prioritizes ecological advantages and urbanization. The project covers a research area of about 305 hectares, with a core area of approximately 118 hectares, including a headquarters zone, landmark complex, and north bay, with a total CFA of 3,050,000 square meters.
The wide diversity of business activities and comprehensive functionalities in Lougang City will create a lakeside activity center for residents, elevate living quality, and attract innovative financial businesses, including green financial enterprises. The project commenced in June 2019 and is located in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
The Lougang City CBD of Taihu Lake project was awarded the Platinum A' Design Award in 2020, recognizing its exceptional and highly innovative design that contributes to societal wellbeing. The design showcases unmatched professionalism, genius, and advances the boundaries of art, science, design, and technology, making the world a better place.
