British architect Grant Associates has won a worldwide competition to create a new city park for Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City (TJEC) in Northern China.

 

中-新天津生态城城市公园全球招标，英国建筑院Grant Associates中标。

 

According to the designers, who have offices in both the United Kingdom and Singapore, the design vision for Friendship Park is a park that welcomes visitors of all ages, celebrating the friendship between China and Singapore, and embodying¹ the principles of sustainability:

 

''Grant Associates' masterplan aims to translate these ideas onto site by interlocking contrasting landscapes and characters - like water and land, nature and city - while maintaining a unity² in the design with a continuous landform.''

 

Stefaan Lambreghts, Associate at Grant Associates, said:

 

''The park symbolises many things. It represents the close relationship between China and Singapore, as well as the connection between people and nature, land and water, shelter and exposure. Friendship Park will exemplify the vital role of public parks in providing space for people of all ages to enjoy a rich variety of experiences with nature."

 

Tianjin Eco-City is expected to be completed in 2020, and will house 350,000 in an environmentally friendly manner.
