The design has been led by Zaha Hadid Architects’ director Patrik Schumacher and encompasses a number of sustainable features that the studio claims will make it the city's the ‘greenest building’. DESIGN COMPOSITION CECEP Shanghai Campus is the winning entry of an international competition held by CECEP, inviting architects to design a home for the company that reflected its ethos and work with renewable energy technologies.
