Design Details
- Unique Properties
- It is the largest scale life science and biotechnology R & D and production innovation and entrepreneurship base in Henan Province with government led investment.Including incubation experiment comprehensive center, pilot production group, large-scale production plant, exclusive logistics system, exhibition center and perfect living facilities. the central landscape belt devided the part into two zones, maximizing the use efficiency, and reflecting the scientific nature of the overall layout.
- Inspiration
- The plan is inspired from "source of life" double-helix DNA, which is also the totem mark of the biomedical industry. The Exhibition Center manifests such unique features of the biomedical industry characterized by sense of science and technology, insight into the future.Based on the axis of life, the park creates a central landscape belt of 200000 square meters.
- Research
- The exhibition center formed by the free ellipse is located in the center of the axis, forming the main square of the park with the International Conference Center and incubation center in the south, and forming a sharp contrast with the modular pilot products in the north, which are square and round, free and rigorous. The sense of hierarchy and quality of the park shows the overall image of the park for the visitors at the first time. It is a model area ahead of the park.
- Challenge
- Architects have to face the challenge of combining the principles of planning and design with the demand of scientific research and production technology for space carrier in biomedical industry.
