The 460,000-square-metre International Education Park will include education program for multiple universities, as well as dormitories, public program, national laboratories and innovation offices. As the team notes, the buildings will feature landscaped terraces and become an extension of the natural landform of the site. The center of the campus will be formed by a valley, and include a landmark complex building. The 80,000-square-metre building will form the heart of the education life and include a university library, student center, auditoriums, laboratories and offices.
Chengdu Future City is a car-free masterplan for the capital of China s Sichuan province designed by architecture studio OMA to focus on the site s existing geography and topography.
The 4.6-square-kilometre scheme, which is being developed within the rolling hills of east Chengdu, will contain six clusters that are modelled on traditional village settlements in the city.
Each of these zones will be designed by OMA to blend in with its surrounding landscape and incorporate spaces dedicated to education and innovation.
