Chinese developer seeks best innovations for £20m flagship building in new £6bn eco-city

BRE is working with Franshion Properties (China) Ltd, one of China’s leading state owned developers, to give businesses an opportunity to showcase their most innovative and sustainable technologies in a new eco-city in China.

Suppliers and partners from the UK and elsewhere in the world could have their technologies featured in Franshion’s Sustainable Building Exhibition Centre in the Meixi Lake Eco-City, a new community in Changsha, Hunan Province.

The exhibition centre will itself be an exemplar of sustainability and low carbon construction, designed to both BREEAM and China’s 3 Star green building standard. Called the Living Lattice, the £20m flagship building is designed by Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios with local detailed design by the Shanghai Research Institute of Building Science (SRIBS).
 
Technologies will be on display in the R&D zone of the building, which will provide a hub for innovation and knowledge transfer for low carbon construction. It is being established to communicate excellence to a wide audience, ranging from school children to industry, academics, diplomats and other high-level visitors. The building will also communicate the vision for the Meixi Lake Eco-City, which comprises nearly 15 million square metres of development, an estimated £6bn investment and will eventually have a population of more than 300,000.

Franshion chief engineer Dr Li Rong said: This building forms a key part of our strategy to become leaders in sustainability. It represents a significant commitment from us to partner with providers of the most sustainable technologies and innovations.”

BRE director Jaya Skandamoorthy said: “This is a significant opportunity for businesses to promote their innovation and expertise to a massive and highly influential developer and wider audience in China. BRE wants to hear about the most exciting technologies out there for what promises to be an extremely high profile project.”
