Future Chengdu Sky Valley Parametric Proposal by MVRDV

MVRDV has revealed its competition entry for a masterplan in china that fuses technology with nature, urban with rural, and modernity with tradition. the proposal — named the ‘chengdu sky valley’ — has been designed for an area that will become the future ‘science and technology city’, a district focused on research, education, and innovation and a key part of chengdu’s eastward development strategy. although the location is well connected, with an airport and metro line nearby, the site is currently rural with agricultural fields and low rolling hills. MVRDV explains that the preservation and enhancement of this picturesque landscape is at the center of the masterplan’s ambitions. the proposal keeps and incorporates the site’s agricultural valleys, while new buildings are clustered on the hills to amplify the valley skyline. a network of gently sloping paths follows the topography of the area, with public bridges that allow for cross-industrial encounters and cooperation connecting the building clusters. unlike other science and technology cities planned across china, this design focuses on cross-industrial research and innovation in food and agriculture. by retaining the existing landscape, the masterplan forms a more diverse community with a wider choice of lifestyles. this includes opportunities for self-building and developing self-sufficient lifestyles in harmony with nature. the development forms an intrinsically adaptable system that incorporates a wide variety of sustainable measures to deal with water, climate adaptation, and future mobility. importantly, the proposal seeks to be a ’15-minute city’ with travel between any two points taking less than a quarter of an hour.
