'Crystal' declared winning entry in CR Land Shanghai Competition
Landworks Studio is pleased to announce that our entry entitled ‘Crystal’ has been declared by the prestigious development group CR LAND the winning entry in an invited competition for the landscape architectural component of a new mixed-use development in the Center of Shanghai. The architect for the project is Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. The Landworks Studio proposal was selected for its unique and artful approach to sustainable placemaking and for its ability to knit building, site and adjacent urban programs and materials into a cohesive, seamless whole.
The project is set to become a new, innovative, artful cultural center within this emergent neighborhood. The site and landscape component of the project includes shared public/private street scapes, gathering areas, a new urban threshold into the adjacent historic Zhang Yuan Village, multiple access points to an expanding subway system, several roof top amenity spaces and a multi-storied sky garden at the top of the towers.
Design work will commence in earnest in the coming weeks.
