Xinchuang (Binhe) Life Wisdom Valley

by POWERPARK INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT GROUP

Project Description

Zhengzhou Jingkai Xinchuang (Binhe) Life Science Valley is located in the Zhengzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone, south of Jingnan Fifteen Road and east of the 16th Avenue. The project is designed to build a comprehensive “big health” industry ecosystem, focusing on three key areas: pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and healthcare. It aims to create a specialized demonstration park that fosters innovation in the health industry. The design concept prioritizes a well-organized and industry-driven layout, ensuring that resources are allocated efficiently. By integrating architecture, landscape, and spatial planning with user needs, the park is designed to enhance functionality, comfort, and overall user experience. The ultimate goal is to create a high-quality industrial park that meets professional standards while maintaining a visually appealing and user-friendly environment.
The design of Zhengzhou Jingkai Xinchuang (Binhe) Life Science Valley is centered around a people-oriented philosophy. Through thoughtful functional zoning, user-friendly circulation planning, and abundant public spaces, the park creates an environment that promotes well-being and fosters creativity. Breaking away from the traditional single-purpose industrial park model, the design embraces the concept of a “boundary-free park,” seamlessly integrating production, research and development, office spaces, and leisure areas. With a well-planned spatial layout and efficient traffic organization, the park encourages collaboration and interaction among businesses, shaping a dynamic and thriving health industry ecosystem. Such strategy not only provides businesses and research institutions with an efficient working environment but also creates a comfortable and healthy leisure space for employees and visitors. In terms of overall layout, Zhengzhou Jingkai Xinchuang (Binhe) Life Science Valley has been designed to open up its northwest and northeast corners, seamlessly integrating metro and urban foot traffic into the park. The angled edges of the high-rise buildings further guide pedestrians from the surrounding streets toward key landscaped plazas, forming a welcoming and interconnected public space. Ultimately, all pathways lead to the central exhibition center, creating a vibrant hub where people gather, interact, and exchange knowledge.
The facade design gives each building a distinct character, reflecting its specific function through a combination of aluminum panels, partial glass curtain walls, and real stone paint. This mix of materials creates a rich sense of layering throughout the park. On the north side, the high-rise buildings adopt an interlocking block composition, adding a rhythmic aesthetic. Strategically placed protruding glass boxes enhance street visibility, establishing a recognizable landmark for the area. At the heart of the park, the exhibition center stands out with its unique architectural form, serving as both the symbolic core of the development and a popular destination for visitors. The factory buildings are arranged to face the central landscaped terrace, enhancing property value while providing employees with spaces to relax, socialize, and unwind. Additionally, the rooftop design incorporates insulation layers or green roofs to improve thermal performance. Vegetation is integrated into both the rooftops and walls to enhance insulation and mitigate the urban heat island effect. By promoting afforestation, supporting renewable energy projects, and offsetting carbon emissions, the goal is to create a sustainable and intelligent green park.
