룽강구 중심부에 다층형 테라스로 구성된 입체적인 도시 구조, '선전 테라스(Shenzhen Terraces)'

공공 공간과 자연경관이 한데 자연스럽게 엮어진 환경친화적인 도시 구조

중국 선전에 101,300㎡의 다용도 시마오 선콩국제센터를 만들기 위한 국제 설계공모에서 27개 출품작 중에서 MVRDV가 당선되었다.

선전의 룽강구 유니버시아드 뉴타운에 들어서는 선전테라스는 지속가능한 허브 건축을 기반으로 작은 갤러리, 도서관, 야외극장 등 20개 이상의 프로그램을 포함하며 경관과 레저, 상업, 문화, 대중교통시설을 통합한 입체적인 도시로 계획되었다. 테라스형의 유기적인 다층 구조로 엮여진 단지는 초고층 주거와 상업단지, 스포츠·교육시설이 자리하고 있는 룽강구 중심부에 들어서며 도시 경관의 수직성과 수평 곡면으로 디자인되었다.

테라스형 수평적인 흐름은 단지 주변의 높은 산세와 사뭇 대조를 이루고, 마치 거대한 수목원을 연상케 하며 느린 흐름을 반영하여 평온함마저 불러일으키게 해준다. 단지 곳곳에 반영된 풍부한 식생과 수변 공간은 보행자를 위한 환경친화적인 풍경을 제공하는 동시에 단지 전체의 온도를 낮춰주고 도시 야생동물의 서식지를 제공한다. 다양한 레벨로 구성된 입체적인 도시 구조를 채워줄 건축자재는 친환경 흐름에 부합할 수 있도록 재생 콘크리트를 사용하고 넓은 지붕에는 태양광 패널을 설치해 에너지 효율성을 높였고 빗물을 모아 수자원으로 활용한다.

단지를 돋보이게 만드는 다층형 테라스 내에는 다양한 기능을 제공하기 위해 개조되었다. 테라스의 커다란 돌출부는 방문객을 뜨거운 태양으로부터 보호하면서 앉아서 경치를 여유롭게 즐길 수 있는 장소가 된다. 그늘진 테라스는 베란다의 온도를 낮추고 실내에는 기후 완충제 역할을 해주는 식물과 수공간을 통해 사뭇 멋진 장소를 제공한다. 테라스형 건물에 들어서는 주요 시설은 버스 터미널과 엔터테인먼트시설은 물론 사무실과 각종 편의시설을 갖추고 있어 활력을 불어넣게 된다.

MVRDV의 창립자인 위니 마스는 “선전 도시는 1970년대 이후 급속하게 발전하고 있으며, 도시 공공공간과 자연경관이 한데 자연스럽게 통합할 수 있는 도시 리빙룸의 훌륭한 도시경관 모델이 될 것이다”고 밝혔다.

단지 내에 자연스럽게 조성되는 선전테라스의 조경은 조약돌과 같은 매끄러운 형태를 반영한 것으로 잔디 언덕과 야자수로 꾸며진 광장, 공공조형물, 수영장과 등반이나 탁구 등의 활동을 위한 복합시설과 조화를 이루며 여유로운 풍경을 제공한다. ANN

MVRDV has been selected as the winner in a competition to design the 101,300-square-metre, mixed-use Shimao ShenKong International Centre. Located in Universiade New Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen, MVRDV’s Shenzhen Terraces was selected from 27 entries by international design firms. Designed with sustainability as a focus, the completed project will form the core of the thriving university neighbourhood, acting as a new three-dimensional urban living room with more than 20 programs, including a small gallery, library, and outdoor theatre. MVRDV’s Shenzhen Terraces aims to bring vitality and innovation to the area through a seamless integration of landscape, leisure, commerce, and culture. Located in the heart of the Longgang district at the meeting point of high-rise housing, commercial complexes, and sports and educational facilities, the site is ideally located to serve as a defining public space within the region.

The central concept of Shenzhen Terraces is to merge the existing landscape with the new development by using stacked plateaus for its various buildings. The predominantly horizontal lines of the terraces contrast with the vertical lines of the surrounding high-rises to bring about a sense of tranquillity through their slow curving shapes.

Combining a pedestrian-friendly landscape with a mixture of functions and public transport, Shenzhen Terraces is poised to become a sustainable hub for the surrounding area. The abundant planting and water features reduce the local temperature and provide habitat for urban wildlife, while gardens and rainwater collection generate food and water resources. The concrete used in the buildings themselves will be made using recycled concrete as the aggregate, and photovoltaic panels will adorn extensive portions of the rooftops.

The terraces are adapted to serve a diversity of functions: large overhangs shield the visitors from the hot sun, while offering places to sit and enjoy the view. These shaded terraces create places for plants and water basins that cool the verandas and create a climate buffer to the interiors. The edges of the terraces dip at strategic points to form connections between the various floors and to double as small outdoor auditoriums. In other places, the facades are pushed inwards to emphasize entrances and create recognizable places within the scheme to help visitors orient themselves. The largest building – containing among other things a bus terminal, conference centre, and entrepreneurship centre on the east of the site – is carved out in its centre to form an open-air atrium. Finally, bridging elements are introduced between the various buildings, turning the second

floor into a continuous route and connecting it with the surrounding developments. These connections knit Shenzhen’s newest urban living room into its context, making it one with the city and offering access for all.

“Shenzhen has developed so quickly since its origins in the 1970s”, says MVRDV founding partner Winy Maas. “In cities like this, it is essential to carefully consider how public spaces and natural landscape can be integrated into the densifying cityscape. The urban living room of the Shimao ShenKong International Centre will be a wonderful example of this, and could become a model for the creation of key public spaces in New Town developments throughout Shenzhen. It aims to make an area that you want be outside, hang out and meet, even when it is hot – a literally cool space for the university district, where all communication space can be outside. It will truly be a public building.”

The design’s landscaping, developed in collaboration with Openfabric, echoes the pebble-like forms of the terraces above to create patches of greenery and public programming between pedestrian

routes. These patches host planting that imitates the sub-tropical natural forests of the region, mixed alongside features such as grassy hills, palm tree-filled plazas, public art, reflective pools, and activity zones for pursuits such as climbing or table tennis. The landscaping also extends to the roofs of the buildings, with a green lawns that are accessible to the users occupying the areas that are not covered with photovoltaic panels. Shenzhen Terraces was designed by MVRDV for Shimao Group in partnership with landscape designers Open fabric.
