Developed for Chinese renewable energy firm CECEP, the mixed-use campus will be built in north-east Shanghai beside the Huangpu River, taking the form of three interlinked towers with leisure facilities and an urban park at its base.
Zaha Hadid Architects' design includes photovoltaic panels and will utilise passive design principles, recycled materials and locally-sourced prefabricated components in its construction to reduce the project's embodied carbon and also support the local economy.
Though it remains in the design phase, the campus is expected to achieve more than 90 credits in the Three Star Green Building Rating, China's green building evaluation standard, which is the highest score for any building in Shanghai.
Rainwater harvesting will be used to irrigate expansive green spaces and landscaping throughout the scheme.
