Chicago Athenaeum has recognized four Ennead projects with International Architecture Awards.
Awarded in the Commercial category, Taopu Smart City Plot 605 is part of a new district being planned around one of Shanghai’s largest future parks. The design actively engages its context, creating strong visual, pedestrian and infrastructure connections with the surrounding site, district and city.
Awarded in the Museums and Cultural category, The International Performance Center will serve as a beacon of culture in the ascendancy of Shenzhen as a world-class metropolitan center and will establish a new paradigm at the intersection of art and technology.
Awarded in the High Rise category, Lingang Science and Technology City is a continuous multi-story podium that connects three office towers and consolidates shared programs, to cultivate collaboration. Planned principally for offices and incubator businesses, the design offers flexibility through an array of floor plate sizes.
Receiving an honorable mention, the Cape Horn Sub-Antarctic Center houses interdisciplinary, socio-ecological research programs that bring together scientists, intellectuals, artists, indigenous people and the local community to exchange knowledge related to biological and cultural conservation.
The Chicago Athenaeum together with The European Center for Architecture organizes The International Architecture Awards to honor the best, significant new buildings, landscape architecture, and planning projects.
