The beauty of the Walkon Modular Flushglaze system is its flexibility. For larger areas of glazing the glass panels can be linked with a back to back angle.
Guangzhou Vanke Cloud City Phase 2 is a pioneer mixed-use development which is comprised of a diverse blend of affordable housing, small apartments, incubator offices, a shopping mall and a middle school. Even with all these different elements, landscape architects formulated a complete and rich “pixel community” with a unified landscape framework. The framework is based on a pixelated grid system that not only provides flexible use space but […]

A new linear park creating 22.5ha of open space, parklands and new community areas, as well as 12km of newly-built pedestrian and cyclist paths

The pivot to cars in the last midcentury prioritised four-wheeled transport over the two-legged kind. Whizzing motorists through town alienated people from the centre, cutting off communities from their neighbours and often from the city’s raison d’etre: its water source. Among the lessons we learned was that burying blacktop would be costly, time-sucking and dangerous (say hello to Boston’s US$24 billion Big Dig).Today’s practice of adapting, removing and ‘greening’ ill-conceived urban motorways is practically a genre in itself. Even neighbourhoods barely affected by vehicular traffic are having a go at this trend for injecting green pathways into urban districts – the new Tide elevated park in North Greenwich, London, resembles a repurposed overpass where there was none.
