01 Urban-regional Relations The Lvfeng Center is located in Hangzhou Zijingang Science and Technology City, an area undergoing significant industrial transformation. Originally an industrial park, the region now requires an updated urban image and new spatial arrangements.

Together with a required 4.0 plot ratio, these constraints dictated the building's form: two square towers with tiered green spaces. YAO Li YAO Li When designing, construction had already begun on...
