The Lankuaikei Agriculture Development (LAD) Headquarters
in Shanghai, an 11-storey terraced office building that brings
together both high- and low-tech sustainability strategies
under a swooping technological roof to create a showcase for the agriculture technology company. Located near the lake at the centre of Lingang New Town, the building is conceived as an agricultural oasis in a rapidly developing urban area in Shanghai, and one of China’s greenest, smartest sustainable buildings
Viewed from above, the building is rectangular in plan, yet it is given a striking curved shape by the series of terraces that
step down to a courtyard and the main pedestrian entrance on the north side. The terraces are clad in wood and covered in greenery, and they include a publicly accessible route to the top of the building that provides spaces for LAD to showcase its work and research. A curving roof structure which follows the shape of the terraces covers the ensemble. On the southern part of the building, this structure supports solar panels
