Appreciation towards UNStudio for providing the following description:

UNStudio的多功能杭州来福士广场毗邻浙江省会杭州市的钱塘江，位于上海西南方向180公里。杭州来福士广场将是凯德置地集团（CapitaLand）集团继新加坡、上海、北京、成都和巴林的第六座来福士广场。该项目结合了零售、办公楼、住宅和酒店设施，是钱江新城区的又一处文化景观。杭州来福士广场将达到六十层高，能够饱览钱塘江和西湖景区的风光，总面积达将近四十万平方米。

来福士城的设计充分考虑到与杭州城市环境与景观的相互作用，以一个有机的形态出现在城市之中，成为黔江新城区的标志。

Ben van Berkel认为该项目有着强烈的身份和个性，对周围有非常大的影响，它自成一体也是这个城市的背景。他相信杭州来福士城会是在中国的一个非常独特的建筑。杭州来福士城也运用了可持续发设计的原则，达到LEED绿色建筑金牌评级。建筑可以采取自然通风，运用本地材料。项目会是一个24小时运转，让居民和游客心所向往的工作，生活，休闲，娱乐不夜城。

Raffles City, Hangzhou, China,

Unstudio’s mixed-use Raffles City development is located near the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province, located 180 kilometres southwest of Shanghai. With a city population of 1.69 million, Hangzhou is one of the most renowned and prosperous cities in China and is well known for its beautiful natural scenery, particularly in the West Lake area.

UNStudio’s Raffles City in Hangzhou will be CapitaLand’s sixth Raffles City, following those in Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu and Bahrain. UNStudio’s Raffles City Hangzhou incorporates retail, offices, housing and hotel facilities and marks the site of a cultural landscape within the Quianjiang New Town Area.

According to Ben van Berkel, “The philosophy behind the Raffles City concept is to integrate mixed use in an urban context, but in such a way as to give this concept a twist; by focussing on where the urban context meets the landscape of the city. In the design of the towers the urban element of the project twists towards the landscape, whilst the landscape aspect, in turn, twists towards the urban context, thereby effecting the incorporation and consolidation of these separate elements in one formal gesture.” Raffles City Hangzhou is due for realization in 2014. After six years of planning and construction, it will reach a height of 60 stories, presenting views both to and from the Qiantang River and West Lake areas. Raffles City Hangzhou will provide a total floor area of almost 400,000 square metres. In the chain of events and attractions of Hangzhou, like the West Lake area and the commercial centre, the Raffles City project will be at the core of the Qianjiang New Town area and contribute to the recognition of this area as a new destination in the city.

Ben van Berkel says of the project, “I believe it will have a sizable impact, as it is a project with a very strong identity and an individual character, which means it will become a place to which people would like to return. It is a project which communicates both with the architecture and within the context of Hangzhou as a city, for this reason we believe it will be a very unique building in China.”

Sustainable design principles

An inclusive approach to sustainability is an important part of UNStudio’s design philosophy. In the Raffles City project UNStudio seeks to receive the gold certification from the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building rating system, the industry standard for rating of the eco-friendliness of buildings.

The incorporation of natural ventilation principles and the ways in which materials are employed, all work in concordance with one another to lower the energy and material demands of the building. Urban sustainability is also an important consideration in the design. The program mix creates a dynamic, continuous 24/7 cycle of activity, a hub for business conduct, a new destination for visitors and residents alike and will become an all-in-one destination for working, living, leisure and entertainment.
