Dongguan Chinese Academy of Sciences Laboratory

Project Profile

1. Project Statement

This is a sponge campus. The design makes wise use of the terrain and using simple cut-fill technique to create a green sponge that retain storm water, clean water and recycle water, instead of business as usual drainage system using pipe and concrete infrastructure.

2. Objective and Challenge

How to plan a high-quality science and Technology Park in the shallow mountain natural resources, which is in line with the world-class vision and scientific research requirements, and how to adapt to the humid and hot climate environment of Dongguan to the greatest extent, has become the problem to be solved in this project. In addition, the reasonable layout of exhibitions, experiments, scientific research, accommodation, meetings, offices and other functions in line with the use of the project has become one of the challenges.

3. Design Strategy

The architectural design concept adheres to the core ecological concept, systematically combs the ecological conditions and natural resources in the site, and fully combines the site status with the local hydrological and natural ecological conditions in Dongguan for design. 

4. Conclusion

Finally, a modern model of new wind soil scientific research building is formed, which not only meets the needs of users, but also respects the ecological texture of the site, and is based on the local climate and environment.
