Text description provided by the architects. It is a complex building consisting of sales, factories, offices, dormitories, and convenience facilities. It will be owned by a large number of people by dividing the space for each use and selling the shares. In this large-scale complex, spaces for various purposes are organically arranged. According to District-Unit Plan, this site is limited to 12 stories or less in height. For more suitable layout within the legal limitations, each space is organized in such a way that it overlaps each other. At the point where spaces for different uses meet, common space is arranged. Spaces for various purposes were arranged horizontally and vertically based on sunlight, views, and visual communication possibilities.

Due to the usage, interior will be planned and constructed by the owner of each room on a per-operational basis. We planned the interior of the common areas as an architectural finish and tried to plan more efficiently. Since it is located in a new section of city, there are no patterns of space or time for residents. However, we had to predict and reflect them in our plans. We especially valued the layout for the activation of the lower floors above all else. First of all, the sales facilities were arranged in three rows of long buildings along the front street and the side of the shielded green street. In this way, two long three-story masses were formed, and each floor was three-dimensionally connected so commercial activities could take place at various levels.

A building for sale shall utilize the density prescribed by law to the fullest extent, reflect the area calculated by the sale price in the plan, and determine the type and size of the common space by the exclusive private rate. In other words, the separation and concentration of space was needed to plan a pleasant public space within the rule of the exclusive private rate. In that context, reasonable core plan was the most important part. This building has three long buildings placed side by side on the lower floor, and a long mass is placed at right angles to the lower floor mass on the upper floor, a complex structure of which is placed on a sloping site. This complex structure is arranged on the sloping site. So, the sectional level of the first and second floors was adjusted according to the site level. In the area where the masses meet, the core and convenience facilities are arranged and connected to the exterior landscape space.

Knowledge Industry Center has the characteristics of factory and an office at the same time. As a result, module of parking and office act as important design elements, respectively. Using the intersection of these two modules, the module of the exterior material was planned, and a variation was attempted to compensate for the monotony and boredom of the huge building. The modules of the floor and ceiling materials were also planned in relation to each other, and the landscape design was related to the entire building module.

Jajalpa Office Park One-of-a-Kind Sustainable Office Park Brings New Energy to Mexico City

Ocoyoacac, Mexico

The Challenge

To create a unique commercial office park that stands out from other offerings around Mexico City.

The Design Solution

Defined by surrounding green spaces and water features, a manicured park serves as the building’s main entrance and offices will look out over the tree tops and toward the nearby mountains. More than 80 percent of the building’s materials are sourced from local suppliers and 90 percent of the water is reused on-site for irrigation and other needs. A concrete and glass skybridge will connect the first phase of Jajalpa to the office park’s future buildings. The building’s location, efficient floor plan and commercial services differentiate it from other real estate offerings throughout the Mexico City region. A feature staircase encourages users to be more active while also providing illumination for the park at night. The park, dining and retail amenities encourage community engagement, while also providing space for local commerce to develop.

The Design Impact

Jajalpa Office Park is a low-impact, commercial building that offers quality experiences for the user through its design, which combines natural lighting, ventilation, green and open spaces, and sustainability. Expected to open in 2019, the project is seeking LEED Gold certification and its concept makes it one of a kind in the Mexico City area.

Project Features

• 139,931 square feet (13,000 sm)
• 381-car below-grade parking

Gateway Business Park

Format Full City South San Francisco State/Province CA Country USA Metro Area San Francisco Project Type Industrial Facility/Park Location Type Inner Suburban Land Uses Industrial Office Parking Warehouse Keywords Flex Industrial Site Size 23 acres acres hectares Date Started 1988 Date Opened 1988

A 23-acre business park located ten minutes north of the San Francisco International Airport. The project features both build-to-suit and speculative development. Developed in three phases, the buildings within Gateway Business Park were designed with tenant flexibility in mind. The glass storefronts of the precast concrete buildings can be configured in various combinations of windows, doors, loading doors, and solid panels. The prototypical U-shaped design of the buildings allows for an interior court that tenants can use for parking or loading or enclose as interior warehouse space.

Bpv business center case study.

#Architecture #Urban Design #Case Studies

The new BPV Business Center is an administrative and business center, sited in the Nanjing Biomedical Valley R&D Zone of Jiangbei New Research District. With the concepts of Cooperation, Dialogue and Embracing Nature, the twin apartment towers take form from a setting sail, referencing the transformation of wind energy into forward motion. Bounded by a picturesque rolling mountain landscape to the west and a strong industrial expo center to the east, the project acts as a reminder that technology, ingenuity and natural forces interact.

The Business Center Program includes two residential apartment towers supported by a commercial podium which will serve both the occupants of the BPV R&D Zone, as well provide a valuable amenity for the surrounding urban area.

The apartment towers are divided into two volumes with a north-south orientation to capture optimal views of the different landscapes as well as to optimize solar heat gain. Dynamic lighting panels which radiate from prefabricated modules articulate the gently curved “sail” form of the towers and announce the building as the Landmark of the BPV Innovative Zone.

The opposite entrances of the two buildings have a curved shape to embrace the eastern mountain view and at the ground level, the podium is articulated by a dynamic commercial passage which connects the east-west pedestrian routes with exciting landscape, seating areas & water features.

Master Plan

The key concept design drivers of the building are Cooperation, Dialogue, and Embracing Nature. The curvilinear form of the twin apartment towers references the transformation of wind energy into forward motion through the formation of a sail.

Several natural themes come together as the curvilinear tower forms frame the majestic rolling mountain range to the west. The sail forms are a reminder that technology, ingenuity, and natural forces interact – harmonizing with the spectacular research programs being pursued in the Bio-Pharmaceutical Valley.

Form Generation

The Building form both resonates with the urban context, as well as the greater landscape beyond. Bounded by majestic rolling mountains and lush valley landscapes, the building maximizes views by dislocating the two towers, shifting them in order to bring sunlight.

The facing tower facades gradually reach toward one another to define a community space but also to embrace the picturesque landscape which surrounds this important site. The Separation between the towers is carefully scaled to respect the surrounding scale and density of the existing urban fabric, and maximize the profile of the Business Center as a dynamic new location within BPV.

Dislocation Form dislocated for better sunlight and unrestricted views

Curvature Add curves to correspond with surrounding buildings

Separation Business separated with a route connecting the parks

Continuity Orthogonal contours provide continuous urban interface with adjacent properties

Coherence Framed and curved building volumes reflect the moving curves of the surrounding mountains. 

Respect The buildings shift in height to acknowledge the existing urban center context

Graduated Lighting Scheme

Lighting Strategy

Dynamic Lighting elements make an important statement at night by continuing to reinforce the beautiful curves of the towers. Colored side lights are employed in each of the prefabricated modules of the tower facades, of which each cantilevers incrementally, creating the gentle slope of the tower sails.
