MVRDV to design terraced mixed-use development in Shenzhen

Selected out of 27 competition entries, MVRDV recently unveiled their winning design for a 101,300-square-foot mixed-use development in Shenzhen. The project, which will be called the Shimao ShenKong International Centre, will be at the heart of Universiade New Town in the city's Longgang District. 

Dubbed as the Shenzhen Terraces by the Dutch practice, the development will comprise over 20 programs, like a library, outdoor theater, and small gallery, MVRDV said, with many of the buildings designed as stacked, pebble-like plateaus.
