Design Company: 10 DESIGN Design Team: Gordon Affleck, Bernice Kwok, Carlo Maria Ciampoli, Colin Ashton, Frisly Collop, Jon Martin Lukasz Wawrzenczyk, Magic Kwan, Mike Kwok, Phil Gray & Rob Rodriguez Client: Zhuhai Shizimen CBD Development Holdings Project Location: Zhuhai, China Length: 300m

WAN Transport Awards 2012: Highly Commended 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”) and BuroHappoldhave won the design competition for the key signature gateway bridge for the new Shizimen Business District in Zhuhai, China.

The feature bridge is the gateway entry to south China’s new planned commercial hub and also marks the connection of the Shizimen Canal to the Pearl River Delta.

The invited international design competition for the 300m long gateway bridge had 16 participating teams including international architects and engineers such as AEDAS, ARUP and Woods Bagot.

Working together in one of their first collaborations the 10 and BuroHappold team set out to create a simple and elegant structural solution for a bridge that would be a visual focal point both within the Shizimen District itself and along the Pearl River Delta coastline.

The winning bridge scheme proposes an undulating ribbon of structure that wraps around the 6 lane road deck in a continuous sculptural loop form. At low levels the loop cradles the road deck, with the structural ribbon then soaring upwards to create 2 triangulated arch forms.

These triangular gateways, one primary and one secondary, then support the road deck over 2 separate distinct spans via suspension cables. The primary triangulated gate is some 100m in height and by diagonally crossing the deck of the bridge celebrating not only the crossing of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, but also the meeting point of the canal with the Pearl River Delta.

The continuity of the loop structure is visible from the opposite mainland shoreline to the west, and appears as a dramatic free standing infinity loop.

As well as the gateway bridge the team was also placed 2nd & 3rd in the competition for two of the 4 secondary bridges crossing the canal.

The other placed schemes integrated both landscape and media within the design of the bridge structures to activate the edges of the more pedestrian scaled bridges.

Gordon Affleck of 10 stated that “this was 10’s first real exposure to major bridge design and with a 300m waterway to cross it was critical that we worked hand in hand with the creative engineering team at BuroHappold if we were to achieve our goal of creating an elegant and sculptural structure that at the same time would be structurally rational and efficient”.

David Emmer, Design Associate at 10 stated that “the complex coastline conditions created an odd and asymmetric span, however we realized that by tying 2 simple parabolic arches together in a single ribbon form we could split the bridge into 2 simpler spans. Thereby keeping a rational structure while making a strong formal statement, in that the bridge when reflected off the water created a double 8 figure, a sign of prosperity in Chinese culture.”

BuroHappold’s Hayden Nuttall was delighted by the win, “it is great when a team really pulls together to create an eye catching design that is underpinned by elegant and efficient engineering. We are very much looking forward to taking this project forward with 10 and the Client”.

Galaxy Yabao Hi-tech Enterprises Headquarter Park Design Company: 10 DESIGN Design Team: Ted Givens, MaciejSetniewski, Peby Pratama, Tatsu Hayashi,Abraham Fung, Emre Icdem, Jon Martin, Ru Chen, Shane Dale, Ewa Koter, Ting Fung Chan Client: Galaxy Group Project Location: Shenzhen, China GFA:1,050,000m2

The project is an examination of the relationship between a pristine rural landscape and the advancing forces of a rapidly growing city. Galaxy Yabao Hi-Tech Enterprises Headquarter Park is close to the central zone of Futian District, Shenzhen China. The Gross site area is about 65 ha; and the GFA is over 1,050,000 sqm, consisting of 18 high-rise towers ranging from 100-300 meters tall, a 5 star hotel, 3 service apartment towers, 3 residential towers, a shopping mall and a 32 ha park.

Tony Huang of the privately owned real estate Shenzhen based developer, Galaxy Group, says, “The vision for the project is to cultivate a hi-tech headquarter park where people can lead a well-balanced life, working and living in a tranquil yet innovative environment . This mix-used complex is designed for a multifaceted community, which includes living, working, shopping recreation, and tourism. The site is very unique with superb first world infrastructure in a beautiful parkland setting around two natural lakes.”

Ted Givens, Design Partner of 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”), explains, “The main design concept was to try and integrate the complex into the natural landscape.” The buildings define a strong urban edge on the southwestern edge of the site and begin to dissolve into nature as they move northeast across the site towards the lake. A series of balconies pulls off the tower facades to allow for vegetation to grow up the sides of the buildings. A series of algae tubes mounted on the western facades also brings a natural diffuse green texture into the complex. External linear screens further diffuse the edge of the towers and shelter the buildings from the heat of the summer sun. Each tower has a rooftop garden to help reduce heat island effect.

The architecture is defined by two landmark towers. The first is a 300 meter tower that sits at the edge of a small stream running across the site. The tower twists up out of the stream taking inspiration from the fluidity of the water running across the site. A second iconic element is the shopping mall, which is located at the intersection of two freeways. To react to the freeway edge, a 220 meter tower is pulled laterally along the freeway, melding the tower and shopping mall into an iconic element that reaches 400 meters in length. The internal edge of the shopping mall terraces into a series of green garden spaces.

Givens added, “Beyond the formal inspirations that try to blur or bridge the architecture back into a natural context, a series of sustainable ideas is embedded into the project that activates the buildings. The design is an examination of the concept of moving “beyond neutrality” on a large scale.”

The buildings are designed with façades that neutralize air pollution 24 hours a day, an algae system that produces oxygen, organic fertilizer, and cleans grey water, and a series of subterranean chambers that naturally cools outside air and pushes it into a series of outdoor courtyards. The buildings take full advantage of technologies that help shape the temperature and air quality of their micro-climate.

The project has already started construction in October 2011.

10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”)'s first major project has broken ground on 28th March 2012 in China.

10 is the Masterplanner and Design Architect of this project, a 4,000,000 square foot Chengtou Office Park in New Jiangwan, Shanghai. Construction is anticipated to be completed in 2014.

Barry Shapiro, Design Partner of 10, says, “The client liked our unique approach to the masterplan and subsequently has awarded us the architecture design, entrust us to overview the landscape and interiors design for the project. We are very excited to see the project has finally started on site."

Scott Findley, also a Design Partner of 10, who has co-directed the design of the project with Barry, states, "we and our other fellow Design Partners have in-depth expertise in designing similar projects around the world in our individual past roles prior to the establishment of 10. A selection of which includes Huawei R&D Campus, Nanjing, China; China Merchants Bank Corporate Campus, Chengdu, China; Centralized High Risk Science Laboratory at the Chinese University, HK; The Engineering School & Laboratory at the National University of Ireland Galway, UK; and Bio-Manufacturing Research Institute and Technology Enterprise, North Carolina, USA." The New Jiangwan Technical Park is a 16 hectare campus technical business park development that is organized around a series of large courtyards and a central community garden. Key objectives of the master plan are to create a good sense of scale, neighborhood and community, a great environment for people to work in and a flexible design that meets the client’s future market expectations featuring for example innovative 3,000 sqm to 6,000 sqm office headquarters.

The building facades are designed to be cost effective, flexible and have a strong architectural character.

The depth of the facades and the orientation of windows take solar radiation into consideration to help reduce operating costs and create a better working environment within the buildings.

The overall image of the Technical Park is meant to be clean, modern and sophisticated to attract future tenants and create a strong working environment. It will be an important addition to the New Jiangwan District of Shanghai.

The Fujian Professional Photonic Technical College Design Company: 10 DESIGN Design Team: Ted Givens, MohamadGhamlouch, Sonja Stoffels, Ray Lam, Tatsuya Sakairi,NkiruMokwe, Xi Li, Bryan Diehl Lynn Kim, Emre Icdem, Ewa Koter, Ibrahim Diaz, Shingrong Wu, Shane Dale, Miguel Vicente, Jon Martin Client: Ching Fu Group Project Location: Xiamen, China GFA: 524,020m2

The Fujian Professional Photonic Technical College project involves the design of the new 550,000 square meter technical school just south of Xiamen China, in Fujian. The city of Fujian is being expanded to become global leader in the production and design of LED technology. The college will be one of the first elements of the city master plan-providing a supply of trained workers for the town. The college will have 3,000 students enrolled by September 2013. By 2017, the total number of students will grow to 12,000.10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”) is responsible for the Master Plan design, the architectural design of 5 of the 9 buildings in the first phase, and the phase one landscape design. 10 will also be designing building in phases 2 and 3.

Ted Givens, Design Partner of 10, says, “The core concept is to interweave a very large scale college into a natural setting- preserving and enhancing the sites existing character. We seek to design the most non-invasive set of structures possible, balanced against the creation of a very efficient college. The masterplan is built upon a backbone of passive solar principles that are supplemented and enhanced by a series of highly innovative sustainable technologies including the use of photocatalyticnano-coatings, algae for air purification and the production of organic fertilizer, thermal cooling systems, green walls, hydro and solar power. The buildings will become test beds for the development of new products and systems.”

The goal of the project is to plan a university by putting nature and the creation of a balanced sustainable future first. The project involves changing the mentality behind the design of university campuses and how the various programs and departments are run. The design of the university will provide a sustainable learning and living environment for the students who enroll in the college and villagers who live at the edges of the university respectively. The town will also benefit by the project becoming a demonstration of how to work with and preserve the natural setting. The town of Fujian is a very beautiful setting almost like the Tuscan Hills. It would be a shame to let rapid development erase its current beauty.

The design is ground breaking because it generates a radial campus planning diagram around the intersection of 3 small existing streams. Instead of imposing a geometric order, 10 worked with the site features and let them inform the campus planning strategy. The streams would have normally been piped and covered to maximize ease of construction and planning flexibility. 10 found in the end by working with nature, all sorts of planning issues ranging from storm water management to creating outdoor campus room fell into place quite easily.

Summer International Retail and Entertainment Centre Design Company: 10 DESIGN Design Team: Gordon Affleck, Jamie Webb, Bernice Kwok, Kevis Wong, Nick Chan Jason Easter, Ewa Koter, Alicia Johannesen Client: Summer Industrial Group Project Location: Zhuhai, China GFA: 510,000m2

The mixed use development in Zhuhai, China contains 360,000 sqm leasable retail space together with commercial, hotel serviced apartment and residential accommodation totaling 510,000 sqm of accommodation. Shoring of the site is already complete and it is anticipated that the piling of the development will commence in early 2012. ‘’We have immensely enjoyed working with this incredibly innovative client who has moved his thinking from the standard ‘black box’ retail model, and has instead challenged us to create a series of rich and diverse retail and entertainment environments, with significant external civic and public space being gifted back to the community. This philanthropic gesture from the Summer Group together with close interactive nature of the design process, has resulted in a remarkable development, which will undoubtedly become one of the major destinations in Southern China.” Says 10’s Design Partner, Gordon Affleck.

Gordon Affleck, Design Partner of 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”) are immensely enjoyed working with this incredibly innovative client who has moved his thinking from the standard ‘black box’ retail model, and has instead challenged us to create a series of rich and diverse retail and entertainment environments, with significant external civic and public space being gifted back to the community. This philanthropic gesture from the Summer Group together with close interactive nature of the design process, has resulted in a remarkable development, which will undoubtedly become one of the major destinations in Southern China.

The site of the development is unique in this important growing city, as it is the meeting point between the grid of the city and the natural topography of the surrounding hill range. The design of the development takes inspiration from this with a dynamic “urban super wall” defining the sites edge with the urban grid. The super wall is made up of series of giant, stacked stone, steel and LED blocks that are stacked to open and cantilever out across the street.

The LED blocks acts as media and light entry gateways and break out points. These breaks gates within the wall reveal the softer organic, planted terrace building and street forms within like a giant secret garden.

The terraces within the heart of the site are sculpted to reflect the flow of pedestrian movement through the site along undulating terraced valleys that open to create external plazas and close to create intimate shaded courtyards.

Chongqing Zhongxun Plaza Design Company: 10 DESIGN Design Team: Gordon Affleck, Ross Milne, Brian Fok, Jamie Webb, Ryan Leong, Nigel Height, Frisly Colop Morales, Jason Easter, Lukasz Wawrzenczyk, Colin Aston, Francisco Fajardo, Mike Kwok, Dan Narita, Caterina Choi, Laura RusconiClerici, Kevis Wong, Shane Dale, Jon Martin, Miguel Vicente, Yasser Salomon Client: Zhongyu Real Estate Development Project Location: Chongqing, China GFA: 117,288m2

This mixed use office and retail development sits centrally within the new Danzishi Central Head Quarters in Chong Qing, that sits on the banks of the Yangtze River.

The brief was to create an interactive retail environment that would interact and reflect with the rich topography that Chong Qing is renowned for. The site set many challenges with a level difference of some 10m across such a narrow site and has to cater for multiple level pedestrian access point from elevated walkways interconnecting with adjacent developments and the Light Rail Station.

The sensuous form of the podium was driven by the analysis of these various pedestrian flows through the site rather than a purely formal gesture. The layered external shells scoop up and direct pedestrian traffic up through the external skin of the façade or through the central retail atria. These undulating shells accommodate either LED screens, planting or elevated retail walkways so the whole façade is activated rather than the traditional ”black box” retail podium that is only activated on the ground floor.

The external shell wraps within itself at key points to lead pedestrians into a central 4 storey high retail atrium. This atrium connects sunken gardens basement retail connections to adjacent plots up to a semi enclosed garden terrace F+B deck that looks out towards the river.

The simple form of the tower contrast with the rich groundscape with the triangular form of the tower derived by maximizing the view corridors leading to the river through the adjacent towers.

Lanyue Bay West Convention Centre & Mixed Development Design Company: 10 DESIGN Design Team: Ted Givens, Adam Wang, Adrian Yau, Audrey Ma, Peby Pratama, Yao Ma Client: Galaxy Group Project Location: Changzhou, China GFA: 304,285m2

The project is located in the West Tai Lake’s Ecological and Leisure area, positioned to be one of the most important vacation resorts in the Delta Region of Yangtze River. The 31,000,000 sqm of development will form a modern leisure and commercial community, providing an iconic luxury hotel, serviced apartments, conference centers, offices and public spaces. Construction is anticipated to start from the end of 2012.

“Given the unique geography of the site, situating along the 14 km coastline of Lanyue Bay, the client has given us a vision to create a garden setting environment in order to help increasing the public spaces surrounding the lake”, says Ted Givens, Design Partner of 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”).

The masterplan design was inspired by the local craft of bamboo carving and the aerodynamic shapes of modern boat design. The buildings are all curved to reflect the fluidity of the lake. A section of each tower is carved to house a large floating garden to give the masterplan a softer, more resort like feel.

Landscape design of the site forms the foundation of the overall planning and design of the masterplan.

A mixture of public spaces including parks, plazas, an amphitheatre and playgrounds are designed to support a variety of uses. The nature of public usage of landscape areas allows the site to integrate seamlessly with the existing lake-side promenade to the east of the site.

Architectural design and planning arrangement respond both to its surrounding environment and the site itself. Careful consideration was paid to zoning and building arrangement within the site to maximize views and ventilation to all buildings, while at the same time retaining the existing view & breeze corridors.

The concept of green design is further implemented via the introduction of green spaces above ground plane. Leisure facilities are designed on podium rooftops raised from the undulating landscape, while spaces are carved into the high-rise towers to form sky gardens for residents.

An iconic luxury hotel is located towards the east with maximum panoramic views to the lake. The form of the hotel sweeps down into the garden to create a conference facility, housed within a passive public park in the centre of the site. The conference centre will be a sculptural building acting as a focal point in the entry sequence into the site.

As an additional sustainable concept the hotel tower can be clad in a titanium dioxide nano-coating. The coating neutralizes air pollution and cleans the air. The tower can become an iconic symbol of the clean air of Changzhou.

“Following a design competition 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”) has recently been awarded both the master plan of a 93 hectare waterfront CBD development and a new Cross Straits Forum in the island of Pingtan in China.”, says Gordon Affleck, Design Partner.

Pingtan is planned as a new commercial hub to drive communication and commercial trade between China and Taiwan. Part of the competition included the design of a new Cross Straits Forum including theatre, convention, exhibition and auxiliary commercial and cultural facilities.

At the centre of the CBD and Forum district has a newly created fresh water lake that conserves fresh water from run off through the urban grain. The masterplan cater for some 3.3 million sqm of urban development, while the Cross Straits Forum would be in the first phase of development.

To reflect the aspiration of transparency and dialogue the buildings are formed by converging elements that combine with the landscape and waterfront to create a fluid and open series of public spaces that meld into the buildings themselves.

Service traffic, roads and trams are integrated into a series of terraced landscape levels to minimize impact of car traffic on pedestrian circulation routes and to create free access from the central axial park canal through the lake towards the waterfront through a series of leisure and retail lined canals.

Dalian Public Library Design Company: 10 DESIGN Design Team: Ted Givens, MohamadGhamlouch, Emre Icdem, Judy Chan and Abraham Fung Project Location: Dalian, China GFA: 5,400m2

The American Institute of Architects Hong Kong Chapter, in accordance with the judgment of its Honor Awards Jury, recently confers a MERIT AWARD for Unbuilt Projects 2011 to TED GIVENS, Design Partner of 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”) for excellence in architectural design for the DALIAN PUBLIC LIBRARY, China.

Jurors’ comments: “The jurors found this design engaging and dynamic. The central vortex was described as creating a focal area for an interesting series of spaces for the community. The building section illustrated for the jurors, the attention for both an urban and internal connectivity. The various adjoining spaces spiral inward in celebrating how the library can become a community center for the neighborhood.”

Ted and his team have previously submitted the scheme to the Dalian Planning Bureau for an international design competition. In the competition, 10 is pleased to be able to compete with some of the world’ s most high profile architects including ZahaHadid Architects, KengoKuma and Associates, Hopkins Architects and AC Architects.” Givens says, “Although the decision on the commission of this project is yet to be announced, we are proud that the design has already gained recognition from a professional body, the AIA.” The library is intended to be a transformative environment that pulls visitors into a unique landscape. The building weaves into the ground creating a series of courtyards and topographic undulations- rooting itself, and then sweeping up into the air forming a bold urban landmark. The shifting of the mass creates spaces ranging from the intimate spaces for reflection in the courtyard to the dynamic and expansive views offered from the tower volume. The tower volume has a series of internal voids and terraced spaces to further enhance the variety of spatial conditions and to provide internal connectivity. A series of retail functions including cafes will help draw a larger audience to the library. A large media center that shares the central drop-off can be used after hours and function independently.

The mass responds and is shaped by views into the site and outward to the surrounding sea and mountains. A green hill over the media center forms an outdoor gathering space and amphitheater and will offer water views to the southern sea. A roof top café on the tower volume provides panoramic views of the mountains and sea.

The façade of the library is a dark grey brass that will develop a beautiful patina over time. The metal skin will have a natural resistance to the marine conditions and harsh weather. The smaller voids in the buildings mass will use an anodized aluminum brass alloy to remain vibrant and colorful as the rest of the building transforms with time.

Urban Planning Museum Design Company: 10 DESIGN Design Team: Ted Givens, Adrian Yau, Peby Pratama, Audrey Ma, Ewa Koter Project Location: Northern China GFA: 35,000m2

The Planning Bureau intends to build 7 municipal civic projects including a library, scientific center, urban planning exhibition museum, teenage activity center, etc. The urban planning exhibition museum is the first project to start and aimed to be landmark architecture in the city as a modern, first-class, functional venue for office and exhibition.

“The new planning museum is envisioned to be a new civic sculpture floating above the central governmental park”, says Ted Givens, Design Partner of 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”). The sculptural nature of the building ties to the existing network of sculptural elements throughout the city.

The building becomes a technological bloom as the massing opens towards the main parks to the west.

The form of the building takes inspiration from the nautical influences and seeks to become a symbol of technological progress and green evolution.

The building uses a photocatalyticnano-coating of Titanium Dioxide on the outer zinc rain screen to neutralize air pollution and remove dirt.

The cleansing reaction is maintained 24 hours a day by using UV lights on the façade at night which are powered by PV cells.

The lighting scheme will be symbolic of a blooming flower- the main golden glow facing west towards the government buildings and the CBD. The inner aluminum façade layer uses a polymer coating that increases insulation values by 10-20 percent, and provides marine and fungal resistance.

These nano-coatings are really nothing more than simple paints and will provide dramatic performance with minimal cost.

The use of the self-cleaning nano-coating on the façade will keep the skin clean of all dirt and organic stains for years without any maintenance.

The building also minimizes east west facades and pulls all entries away from the northern winds to maximize passive solar ideas. The government hopes the project will inspire green ideas and further sustainable design in the city.

Badshahpur It Park Design Company: 10 DESIGN Designer: Gordon Affleck, Kishor Lad Arch Design Team: Nigel Height, Lukasz Wawrzencyk, Abraham Fung Landscape Design Team: Ewa Koter, Caterina Choi, Matthew Younger, Ibrahim Diaz Client : Unitech Group Project Location: Gurgaon India GFA: 150,000m2

Unitech Group, a leading real estate developer in India, has recently commissioned 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”) as the lead design architect and landscape designer upon the Badshahpur IT Park – home for the latest technological headquarters.

The Badshahpur IT Park is a campus of ten buildings, set across a sinuous series of adjacent plots of varied ownership. The challenge was to create a common identity across the site, a hierarchy of amenity spaces, and a strategy for future expansion of the campus. The ambition was to create a vibrant and inclusive work environment that meets the expectations of today’s IT graduate candidates, employees, and the employers that seek to attract the same talent.

External finishes and the landscaping layout use a common language to create distinct identities for groups of buildings. Mimicking the sinuous nature of the site, a series of ribbon forms navigate the campus defining a series of outdoor areas – smaller areas servicing a cluster of buildings, and larger, delivering functions for the campus as a whole. The largest space sees the ribbon forms converging to create annexes and spill out areas for the campus canteen, fitness gyms, nurseries and similar amenities. Smaller outdoor spaces offer simpler functions such informal meeting and greeting areas, as well as shading and seating for groups or individuals.

Planting as well as each of the ribbons that travel across the site create an individual identity to various areas of the site, and therefore establish a form of passive way-finding between the buildings of the campus. Having the elevations of the buildings mimic the forms within the landscape would hopefully assist in making the landscape become part of the work environment – a place to have informal discussions, or take walking breaks from workstations.

Building heights vary across the overall site owing to its make up from sub-plots and ownerships. Equally building footprints varied in response the sites undulations. It was necessary to create a flexible façade module that would work across the varying buildings such that they would all read as a family, whilst also responding to opportunities such as views across the site, the creation of bridge links between buildings, and key vistas from road level approaches. The resultant design of elevations seeks to split the masses of the buildings into two intertwined volumes - one of stone, and one of glass – thus allowing common masses across the varying scales of building.

The Badshahpur IT Park creates a unifying architectural concept around the amenities, open working environments, creating pathways, plazas and break-out spaces. It is a place that global visitors will recognise as a modern international working environment, where regional talent can flourish, and new ideas can be generated and shared.

Badshahpur It Park Design Company: 10 DESIGN Designer: Gordon Affleck, Kishor Lad Arch Design Team: Nigel Height, Lukasz Wawrzencyk, Abraham Fung Landscape Design Team: Ewa Koter, Caterina Choi, Matthew Younger, Ibrahim Diaz Client : Unitech Group Project Location: Gurgaon India GFA: 150,000m2

Unitech Group, a leading real estate developer in India, has recently commissioned 10 DESIGN (often referred to as “10”) as the lead design architect and landscape designer upon the Badshahpur IT Park – home for the latest technological headquarters.

The Badshahpur IT Park is a campus of ten buildings, set across a sinuous series of adjacent plots of varied ownership. The challenge was to create a common identity across the site, a hierarchy of amenity spaces, and a strategy for future expansion of the campus. The ambition was to create a vibrant and inclusive work environment that meets the expectations of today’s IT graduate candidates, employees, and the employers that seek to attract the same talent.

External finishes and the landscaping layout use a common language to create distinct identities for groups of buildings. Mimicking the sinuous nature of the site, a series of ribbon forms navigate the campus defining a series of outdoor areas – smaller areas servicing a cluster of buildings, and larger, delivering functions for the campus as a whole. The largest space sees the ribbon forms converging to create annexes and spill out areas for the campus canteen, fitness gyms, nurseries and similar amenities. Smaller outdoor spaces offer simpler functions such informal meeting and greeting areas, as well as shading and seating for groups or individuals.

Planting as well as each of the ribbons that travel across the site create an individual identity to various areas of the site, and therefore establish a form of passive way-finding between the buildings of the campus. Having the elevations of the buildings mimic the forms within the landscape would hopefully assist in making the landscape become part of the work environment – a place to have informal discussions, or take walking breaks from workstations.

Building heights vary across the overall site owing to its make up from sub-plots and ownerships. Equally building footprints varied in response the sites undulations. It was necessary to create a flexible façade module that would work across the varying buildings such that they would all read as a family, whilst also responding to opportunities such as views across the site, the creation of bridge links between buildings, and key vistas from road level approaches. The resultant design of elevations seeks to split the masses of the buildings into two intertwined volumes - one of stone, and one of glass – thus allowing common masses across the varying scales of building.

The Badshahpur IT Park creates a unifying architectural concept around the amenities, open working environments, creating pathways, plazas and break-out spaces. It is a place that global visitors will recognise as a modern international working environment, where regional talent can flourish, and new ideas can be generated and shared.

The Gateway Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur Design Company: 10 DESIGN Designer: Ted Givens Arch Design Team: Ted Givens, MohamadGhamlouch, Emre Icdem, Magic Kwan, Abraham Fung, MaciejSetniewski Client : Suez Domain SdnBhd Project Location: Malaysia GFA: 250,000m2

The heart of the project is an outdoor courtyard surrounded by a series of garden spaces. The courtyard is designed to be a public room attracting people from the surrounding neighborhood and city. A large floating glass ring defines the central courtyard space becoming the focal point for the entire development. The ring binds the courtyard to a surrounding retail mall and becomes a gathering spot for the entire mixed use complex. The ring houses a series of small fashion boutiques and its circulation path doubles as a runway for special events and fashion shows. At night the crystalline ring becomes a lantern illuminating the courtyard with a series of LED screens and color glass panels. The roof of the ring becomes an outdoor jogging trail and garden for the surrounding residential towers.

A series of gardens are pulled up into the surrounding towers creating private gardens for the residents.

Each roof top area becomes an outdoor garden space for the residents to enjoy.

The office towers facing the main highway are defined as the water element. The facades consist primarily of glass and a series of very fluid metal fins to highlight the feeling of water. The upper floor of each tower contains sky gardens that provide panoramic views of central KL. A conference center and outdoor cafÊ are provided on the garden levels of each tower. The tower’s location also gives them great visibility from the surrounding highways and MTR line. The office towers become the most iconic and visible element of the project.

The twin residential towers form the element of metal. The facades of the residential towers undulate forming a series of lanais that further define the organic nature of the project. Each unit has its own enclosed lanai, increase the spacious feeling of the units. The residential towers share a large podium level plaza providing a large outdoor space for the residents to enjoy. The podium garden contains a large pool, functions rooms, changing rooms, and a series of outdoor plazas. The floor directly above the podium contains all the clubhouse functions. The roofs of the towers contain 4 large penthouse units, each containing its own exterior garden and pool.

The retail podium is also defined by the element of metal. The retail podium is a solid base upon which the residential office towers rest. The retail mall is designed to house smaller more localized stores. The mall is themed around the idea of fashion and supporting the local fashion industry. A ring sweeps out from the upper level of the mall and forming an iconic element that defines the inner courtyard. The ring houses a series of small retail shops and its circulation path is used to connect the retail mall to the office, residential towers, and service apartments.
