Creative Zone

2009

The Creative Zone masterplan in Yanqing, 200km from Beijing, balances urban density with the preservation of natural landscapes. The design compresses the urban fabric and greenbelt, creating a compact urban edge that integrates creative industry and supporting facilities. This arrangement forms a network of streets, courtyards, and public squares, offering varying levels of privacy and interaction to encourage spontaneous learning.
