CHENGDU RAILWAY CITY

TOD DESIGN COMPETITION (AEDAS)

A new transit-oriented development in Chengdu is a convergence of various sources of transportation: high speed rail, metro, bus terminal and car. An overall core is established through a ring that connects the various residential, commercial, transportation and public spaces together. Underground and suspended walkways connect the various programs in a logical circulation, creating a cohesive and vibrant hub.

The organic form of the circle is adopted in the podium design through a fluid canopy draped over the rigid podium functions. The tallest tower is placed near the major highway, to serve as an iconic element within the urban design. Each face of the tower gradually twists downwards, seamlessly flowing into the podium and ground levels.
