Together with SWA Group, OCA won this international competition for the Chuanyang River North Shore Master Plan: a riverfront green space in the heart of a high-tech science park in Shanghai. Four public buildings totaling 9,000 square meters (90,000 sf) provide recreational and commercial uses to serve the nearby communities, university students and science park professionals. The design concept “cell architecture” symbolizes the leading bio-tech science industry. Vernacular materials are added to recall the rich traditional architectural heritage of the area.
