Introduction: International Tender for Guangming Scientists Valley Urban Design and Major Projects Architectural Design is now open for pre-qualification application. Design teams from home and abroad are welcomed to participate in this international tender.
Summary:
To Nature and Scientists!
01 Project Location
Guangming Scientists Valley is located in the core area of the Large-scale Scientific Facilities Cluster, covering an area of about 1.2 square kilometers. It consists of the Liantang Reservoir, Loucun Pond and the valley in between them. The natural conditions of Scientists Valley are superior.
02 Project Positioning
As an important functional area of Guangming Science City, Guangming Scientists Valley is a “home for scientists” in Guangming District, built for scientific talents, and also the center of supporting services for the Large-scale Scientific Facilities Cluster. With scientists as the main user group, Scientists Valley will create an international scientific campus that provides a sense of belonging, and merges scientific elements with the natural landscape to build an integrated service supporting system for work, communication and living.
Construct a unique service core that satisfies the scientific function – It will provide high-quality public service facilities of international standard and featured services supporting scientific development, enabling different talents to learn about the frontier of science and obtain inspiration for innovation.
Build a creative, shared social space – Through integrated design, it will create a comprehensive and immersive shared social space, and build a large-scale scientific social network.
Set up an international sample area – Create an artistic and cultural atmosphere, build up a work, travel and recreation area with a sense of belonging, warmth and vitality.
The urban and architectural design of Guangming Scientists Valley should not only meet the needs of target groups and functions, but also show the pioneering character of Shenzhen, embody the design principles of ecology and low-carbon, pioneer and future, socializing and diversity, science and innovation, as well as feasibility and sustainability. It will illustrate Shenzhen’s development confidence as a “demonstration pilot zone” and become the high-quality and aesthetic urban branding image of Guangming Science City.
03 Tender Scope
The tender scope includes the detailed urban design of Scientists Valley (1.2 square kilometers), the architectural schematic design and scheme refining of two major projects in Scientists Valley: the Scientists Suites and Science Multi-functional Center, and the Scientists Mansion.
1. Detailed Urban Design of Scientists Valley
During the execution of the Design Contract, the winner shall be responsible for the integration of urban design, complete detailed urban design scheme and urban design guidelines, which shall meet the technical requirements of implementation and can guide the subsequent architectural design and landscape design.
2. Architectural Schematic Design and Scheme Refining of Scientists Suites and Science Multi-functional Center, and Scientists Mansion
During the execution of Design Contract, the winner shall be responsible for the schematic design and scheme refining, including conceptual design optimization, architectural schematic design, architectural scheme refining and detail design, landscape conceptual design, public area interior conceptual design, flood lighting conceptual design, etc. The design work should meet the requirements of Construction Engineering Design Document Compilation Depth Regulations (2016 edition) and schematic approval, and cooperate with LDI to complete the project approval. The architectural scheme refining and detail design should meet the technical needs of further design development and construction documents work of LDI, ensuring implementation of the design. The follow-up design service and work requirements mainly are design review and guidance of drawings that have great impacts on the implementation effect. Refer to the contract documents for detail.
