A 'Super Campus' design by TLS & AZPML wins the Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters Central Green Axis

A sprawling terrain of various biomes and sunken courtyards has been chosen as the winning landscape design entry in an international competition for the Shenzhen Bay Super Headquarters central green axis in Shenzhen, China.

Submitted by Berkeley/Shanghai-based TLS Landscape Architecture in collaboration with the London and New York offices of AZPML Architecture LTD, the proposed "Super Campus" was inspired by the open model of a college campus and aims to link "business and research communities not only with each other but also with Shenzhen's urban fabric and its ecological systems."

The Shenzhen Design Center organized the competition. 

North Block – Botanical Forest Park Aerial looking south

"'Aggressively biological,' the park is a living organism composed of 4 specific biomes which climb a topography of hills and invade hollows in the below grade layers to create a three-dimensional 'campus mesh,'" explains the project description.

South block – Art and Performance Park Aerial looking north

"The 4 campus biomes include a botanical forest and pool, an exuberantly vegetated transportation node, a grassland dedicated to cultural performance, and coastal zone with bay-related wetlands and avian habitat."

Station Sunken Plaza – Underground Space looking toward the Eye

"A group of 5 transparent 'Crystal Hills' create a moment of intensity within the overall mesh to house the bamboo forest and fill a regional train station with light."

Sunken Garden – Beer Garden – cooled by chilled rain using AC condensate

"A series of sunken courtyards that bring the vegetation into the underground spaces are covered by lofty and delicate shading canopies of mesh crowned by large outdoor fans and chilled rain fountains for cooling in the warm Shenzhen summers."

Coastal Park – Egret Lawn at dawn

"At the Shenzhen Bay overlook, large retractable fabric canopies span over a festival esplanade and a public green framed by terraced hills. Opening these canopies will be a dramatic performance in itself."

Botanical Forest Park – Educational Trail

"Each space in the Super Campus is dedicated to cooperation and exchange in an open, non-hierarchical environment where social intersections and chance meetings fertilize the collaborative engagement between the Super Headquarters Base companies. And these spaces are framed and suffused with direct physical relationships to local ecologies – a business requirement as climate change comes to structure our enterprises."
