Shenzhen Energy Ring

Industrial

Information

The urgency of the global climate crisis has given rise to a new type of architecture in China’s fastest-growing city: a waste-to-energy plant that doubles as an engaging community experience with facilities for research and development. The Shenzhen Energy Ring, designed by our Shanghai studio (Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects) in collaboration with Gottlieb Paludan Architects, aims to set a new standard for environmentally progressive architecture by encapsulating a complex program in a simple, poetic form.
