Laoshan, Qingdao, PR China - Master plan

Urban planning design competition, 2005

Winner

This urban planning project is located in Qingdao, a rapidly growing region

at the east coast of China and place of the Olympic sailing competitions
2008.

K+P’s design succeeded in an urban planning competition against Chinese

competitors.

The new urban quarter, a few miles from the actual downtown zone, will
give home to about 60.000 inhabitants, including the relocation of 3.000
villagers. The site includes a total area of 1.6 million m² and a net building
ground of about 1 million m². Showing a density of 1.6 to 2.2, it provides
a total gross floor area of about 1.9 million m², the far majority of it for
residential use.

The design is blending European ideas of urbanism and landscape

architecture with specific Chinese demands, deriving from traditional
Chinese culture and an enormous pressure for urban development. It aims
at a sustainable urban structure of public and private spaces and a both
ecological and recreative structure of open spaces.

The final solution has been the result of intense on-site discussions in
Qingdao with local authorities, clients, property developers and planners.
The design of K+P has been accepted as master-plan and will be developed
by K+P further on up to the construction stage.
