SHENZHEN REGENERATION, CHINA MLA+
MLA+ in collaboration with Felixx Landscape Architects & Planners and Chinese partners China Academy of Urban Planning and Design (CAUPD) and Shenzhen Municipal Design & Research Institute has won the first prize in the design competition for the regeneration of the area along the G107 highway, in the Bao’an district of the city of Shenzhen. The main challenge was to come up with a future-proof design that carefully integrates and addresses the complexity of the existing urban fabric. In MLA+’s design, the G107 highway is still the driving force of the area connecting the different areas, but its function changes from an utilitarian infrastructure to a key driver for urban regeneration. Within this main structure hubs are created for different urban functions. Ref: 85949
SHEIKHA FATIMA BINT MUBARAK PARK, ABU DHABI BENOY
FERRING PHARMACEUTICALS HEADQUARTERS, DENMARK FOSTER + PARTNERS
Construction has started on the new country headquarters for Ferring Pharamceuticals A/S in Denmark, designed by Foster + Partners. The 39,000 m2
company offices are set for completion in 2019.
Located on the urban fringe of Copenhagen in Kastrup, the site occupies a pivotal waterfront position. The building sits on a large stone plinth which acts as the first line of defence against floods and integrates the design of street furniture and landscape elements. The lightweight glass building ‘floats’ above the contrasting heavy plinth below. The six stacked floors and roof canopy cantilever further capture the surrounding views and create self-shaded spaces on each floor. The triangular form of the building is driven by the shape of the site, which is surrounded by water on all sides. Ref: 88774
Benoy has released striking new visuals revealing the futuristic vision behind Abu Dhabi’s upcoming Sheikha Fatima Bint Mubarak Park. The AED94 million renovation, due for completion in 2018, will allow Benoy to redefine the site of the former Khalidya Ladies Park and transform it into a world-class destination. Commissioned by The Department of Municipal Affairs and Transport at Abu Dhabi City Municipality, the open air environment will host “an eclectic variety of pioneering features, activities and events, conceptualised to fuel discovery and support the core tenets of the Abu Dhabi Vision 2030.” Ref: 59526
