The centre is located in the heart of the zone, with key links to all major amenities. The design proposes an amalgamated layout of commercial, office, apartment and innovation hubs that can be naturally integrated with the surrounding urban fabric. The site also connects with an exhibition centre, an ecological park and metro connections, creating a new mixed-use destination in Wuhan.
The design draws inspiration from the concept of “information flow”, with abstract and interspersed lines on the horizontal façade representing the digital flow of information. The fluidity and futurism of the design captures vivid imaginations around the cyberspace.
To enhance the internal connectivity, the design adopts a streamlined layout to build a connection between the two plots. Visitors are allowed to roam freely through the ground floor breezeway. The sunken plaza on the west is seamlessly connected to the metro station. Civic amenities are located adjacent to each other, including a cultural centre, a MICE centre, a library, a museum and an art centre. A ground-floor podium connects amenities on the west of the site, while an elevated garden on the second floor connects the apartment tower to the park. The five office towers stand side-by-side, creating an iconic and undulating skyline.
