Narrative Summary:
Narrative Summary

This plan is inspired by the cell, and the main concept is to design this life science park a active cell, which includes 4 features, that is 1) to make a sustainable wetland construction 2) to integrate the functional building groups with the surrounding environment, 3) make an easy means of circulation, and 4) to emphasize the edge.

Concept:

Cell is the basic unit of life, it is a highly effective metabolic system and has the capacity to self-propagate, and it also functions with other cells. Life science park should be the last living cell of the land and Zhongguancun area, which is a sustainable environment that cultivates a system for innovaton.

4 important features in this plan:

1 Environment:
a sustainable wetland system. This wetland system is just like a living cell which has the cell fluid and cell materials, which nourished the innovation system in the park to grow.
The water source of the wetland is from 3 parts: 1 the runoff of the whole park; 2 the reclaimed sewage water, 3 if need, in some situation, Shangzhang reservoir will be a supplementary water source of the wetland.
While the wetland system has two components: the outer sewage water treatment wetland and the central landscape and recreational wetland. This wetland system is a self-regenerate , self-sustainable ecological matrix, which is the innovation source and origin of the employees in the park.
2 Functional groups:
highly effective innovation unit. The functional building groups is just like the core of the cell and the connection part of the cells, which has a whole and perfect structure, highly effective operating and be rich in innovation capacity.
3 Fluent transportation networks.
It is like the channel between cells which is used to transform information and materials. The transportation network of the life science park includes the following 5 components: motor vehicles transportation and parking lots, people, cargo transportation, water, and information.
4 Edge, the interface connect the inner part and the outside, which is like the cell membrane
The edge is boundary of the park and the outside, boundary of different functional groups, and boundary along the inner ring road.
