About Honghua Airport District Masterplan Mpango Kabambe wa Matumizi Mchanganyiko

Mpango Kabambe wa Wilaya ya Uwanja wa Ndege wa Honghua ni mpango wa kimji wa matumizi mchanganyiko kwa eneo lililopo Nanjing, Uchina. Eneo hilo lina kipimo cha takriban mita 649 kwa 590 na linakatwa na njia ya zamani ya kutua ndege (runway) yenye upana wa mita 62. Ukanda wa shughuli unaounganisha sehemu za kaskazini na kusini za eneo hilo hupitia kando ya bustani ya njia hiyo ya ndege. Kituo cha maonyesho ndicho kinachosimamia mpango huu na kuipa uhai njia ya ndege. Ofisi, hoteli na maeneo ya biashara ya rejareja yamepangwa kuzunguka nyua huru. Ujazo wa majengo umegawanywa katika masanduku madogo yaliyorundikwa yenye facade tofauti tofauti. Vifuniko vya kioo vyenye taa za LED huangazia kiwango cha barabara na kusaidia matukio ya hadhara.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Along the runway park, we designed a "linked activity bar" to connect the north and south. Performance center, "Cirque Du Soleil Anchor" is created to activate the runway and linked bar. Offices, hotel and retails are planned with independent courtyards as the extension from the runway. Building massing are broken down into smaller scale stacked boxes and provide diverse façade design. LED glass canopy and "ball" surface will provide animating light show to encourage street level's events.
Dimensions & Packaging: The site is almost like a 649m x 590m checkerboard with an old 62m wide airport runway cutting through in east and west direction. North commercial parcels allow 35m building height, and south residential parcels allow 100m building height. Only one parcel allows the tallest office tower to be 150m in height.

Production Technology: Wood, stone, metal, concrete, steel, dirt, plants, and art installation will be used in different parts of the project depending on the design. We use a parametric design tool starting from massing studies, gross floor area calculation, facade pattern control, drawing generation with modifications to landscape design studies. The parametric design tool helps us find the right design balance faster based on scientific analysis and aesthetic preferences.
Design Challenge: The site is cut by a vast scale old airport runway, how to link the street level activity energy from north to south is the first major challenge. How to break the long courtyard office/ hotel facades to animate the runway park and link bar is the 2nd design challenge. How to intergrade different "flows" of traffic, such as commuters, visitors, local residents and allow them to find their own "belonging community" is the 3rd design challenge.
Research: Function, urban space, projects with similar site scale researches are conducted. Case studies and scale comparison are the methods used to collect design data. Our design team members conduct the research. Zoning map, activities suggestions, urban space articulation, and building forms are the result and insights we gain from the researches. And we believe the users here will find plenty of enjoyments and surprises to make this project a memorable place and become the destination of Nanjing.
Inspiration: Courtyard, mega frame and pixel infill concept are the main inspirations for this project, starting from master planning, building massing articulation, facade design to landscape pattern. Modernizing traditional Chinese design vocabulary for the pixel infill is additional inspiration. Consistent design elements with decent diversity mix is our design goal.
Project Duration: The project is located in Nanjing, China. And will complete in 2-3 years.
Operation Flow: Animated urban space such as sunken plaza, LED performance center’s building skin, LED glass canopy are all trying to actively engage natural, artificial lights and contents with pedestrians from the runway park and subway exits. Leading them to the outdoor activities hub to promote social interactions. Different art installations, zoning characters, exercise equipment suggestions are also meant we use to promote a healthy lifestyle and happiness for people who work and live in this area.
