About Pearl River Wenjiang Block B Urban Architecture
Pearl River Wenjiang Block B is an urban master plan for a mixed-use business district in Chengdu, China. The plan includes 14 high-rise office towers, 10 commercial pedestrian streets and street-front podiums of one to two floors. Diverse transport systems are combined to form a three-dimensional city. Open blocks, waterfront parks and art courtyards support a healthy and livable daily life. The high-rise facades use a window-wall system with aluminum frames and elevated planting, which provides shading without strong light reflection. The building area is 644,765 square meters.

- In order to shape the urban interface of the signal area, the high-rise buildings along the street adopt the window-wall system with the image of aluminum frame as the main part. The external aluminum frame combined with aerial greening forms an effective facade gray space, which has obvious shading effect and will not cause obvious light pollution.

Diversified and mixed integrated resource settings have become the secret to the vitality of the development area. Various professional services rely on each other, assisting in the development of large-scale headquarters, small-scale technology innovation, and cultural and creative economic development; the shared configuration principle enhances the overlapping strength of mixed functions. Strengthen the building of open blocks and create a healthy and livable lifestyle for each other.
