Aug. 11, 2018 – Beijing, China – MAD Architects, led by Ma Yansong, has won two international competitions to develop Shenzhen Bay Square. The firm?s winning masterplan (36 hectares), and architectural design (15 hectares), will see an ambitious urban development project bring a vibrant cultural complex to the area that connects Shenzhen city to the waterfront, surrounding ecological corridor, and nearby mountain ranges ? creating a harmony between humans and nature.
Located in the center of Qianhai district, southwest of Shenzhen, the site neighbours the Houhai area, which has developed over the last 10 years. Considered to be the financial centre of the city, its numerous high-rises act as a backdrop for MAD?s scheme which proposes a staggered layout with diverse buildings. Collectively, they create a rich architectural landscape that counterbalances and complements the existing dense urban planning.
