CULTUREBRIDGE ARCHITECTS developed prototypes of sustainable urban
modules for the city of Urumqi, located on the edge of Gobi Desert in
northwest China.
For finding siutable typologies and technological concepts we analyzed examples of traditional and modern architecture in Central Asia and climatically comparable regions.
To show the
big potential of sustainable architecture in different building
typologies, prototypes for various building scales, uses and city areas
have been developed.
CULTUREBRIDGE ARCHITECTS elaborated this study within the research and development program URUMQI DRYLAND MEGACITY DEVELPMENT by IFEU Institute Heidelberg, which is sponsored by German BMBF. The study was presented within a workshop im April 2009 in Urumqi.
