Municipal Infrastructure Complex
Zhuhai, Guangdong, China
Year: 2023-2024
BUA: 13,800 m²
This project pioneers a next-generation municipal complex grounded in the principles of functional integration, smart empowerment, and low-carbon cycling. It embodies four core dimensions—intensive, dual-carbon, shared, and intelligent—to redefine how civic infrastructure operates.
Departing from traditional fragmented systems, the design adopts three transformative strategies:
Functional Consolidation: Integrates 12 municipal services—including governance, energy, and transportation—into a unified operational framework.
Management Consolidation: Promotes cross-departmental collaboration, streamlines workflows, and reduces administrative redundancies by 25%.
Land-Use Efficiency: Implements vertical spatial layering to mitigate NIMBY concerns, enhancing land-use efficiency by 40%.
Guided by carbon neutrality goals, the complex incorporates green infrastructure such as photovoltaic curtain walls and rainwater gardens, seamlessly integrated with smart substations and new-energy charging networks. Together, these elements form a closed-loop “production–consumption–recycling” zero-carbon system, projected to reduce municipal operational carbon emissions by 35%.
