Project Description

TOWNLAND was commissioned to prepare Urban Design and Concept Architecture for an Innovation Centre (Technology Park) within the Science and Technology Town in Mian Yang City, covering a total floor area of 273,456 sq m.

The design character adopted for the Technology Park draws from the cultural influences of Chongqing, Chengdu and Mian Yang which feature mountains, plains and hills, respectively, and utilises the concept of a ‘Vertical Valley’ around which buildings are arranged. Throughout the Vertical Valley, a series of civic spaces are created offering informal gathering areas for the exchange of ideas between R & D personnel working in the Innovation Centre.
