RLP_Parc-Central
上海 / 深圳 / 广州
An aerial precedent for integrating organic roof canopies and a sunken multi-level public park into a high-density commercial urban context.
- What we like about this project
- The entire complex drops below street level to create a hidden green valley within the city center.

- Geometry
- Twin organic, curved shell forms frame a central sunken public landscape plaza, set amidst dense orthogonal high-rise towers.
- Facade system
- Curved structural steel lattice roof shading system over glazed multi-story volumes.
- Structural guess
- Steel diagrid roof shells supported by heavy concrete and steel framework below.
- Spatial scale
- Massive multi-block urban scale; the sunken public park sits at the center of several high-rise towers.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight casting soft shadows across the curved roof structures and ground-level concourses.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and fluid, offering a green counterpoint to the rigid surrounding high-rise grid.
- Environmental context
- High-density urban commercial core of Guangzhou surrounded by major roads and high-rise developments.
- Spatial experience
- The aerial view reveals a grand urban oasis that pulls pedestrians downward into a tiered, open-air retail and garden valley.
- Composition rhythm
- Symmetrical twin curves balance the asymmetrical dense urban grid framing the site.
