brief introduction

Century Plaza, Century Avenue, Shanghai, was built in May 1995, covering an area of 269000 square meters with a total investment of 16.348 million yuan. It is a landmark building of the development zone. It is invested to improve the investment environment and promote the development of business and tourism in the region. It is a large-scale activity place integrating tourism, sightseeing, leisure and entertainment.

The whole building of century square mainly embodies the theme of "light of the century". The center of the square is in the shape of the sun. There is a central platform with eight color channels radiating from the "central platform", which symbolizes the bright future. It is connected with eight roads to form a ring road. The ring road is connected with 10 roads from four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, forming the traffic network of the square. In Tainan, the center of the square, there are 12 pillars carved with 5000 years of history.

Overlooking the whole square, it is symmetrically distributed, with the back of the century park with beautiful water and green forest, the crystal clear science and Technology City in the East and the vigorous administrative center of the New District in the West

Like a pearl inlaid at the end of Century Avenue. It is deep and dignified, smooth and beautiful, full of vitality and the flavor of the times.

The entrance of the square is a large-scale landscape sculpture "light of the East" designed in the original form of a sundial. It uses 24 tons of channel steel to build a platform of more than 400 square meters, and uses more than 6000 meters of stainless steel pipes. It is a perfect combination of sculpture art language and modern high-tech architectural language to highlight the cross century time theme!

theme

The whole square covers three themes. The first theme is to pave the floor with ochre red and cyan stone in the center of the rectangular square, and take this as the natural tone. Around the eight 5-meter-high stone pillars, there are square and rectangular stone tables and stone benches. On both sides of the square, there are 50 meter wide poplar trees and grass. In the distance, there are more than 13 meter high "eight pillars of Arc de Triomphe" The line of the whole square is clear and natural, simple and solemn. Looking around, it is open and dignified, deep and distant. Take a rest here, you can feel a broad and vigorous mood.

After passing the flower bed of "Century Square", the second theme comes. It is a square and round sunken square. Surrounded by the circular square pool, two subway stations with 180 degree glass sky are exquisitely carved, like two lotus leaves. The four glass sightseeing towers are like lotus blossoms standing in the surrounding air The corridor is very elegant and pleasant. It's a good place to rest and take photos. You might as well invite three or five friends to take a walk here. This part of the square is more of a modern theme - the use of a large number of glass and stainless steel, and then set off the whole transparent glass curtain wall of the nearby science and Technology Museum, making the square particularly avant-garde, like a crystal palace made of high technology, shining.

The third theme is actually an overpass leading to the century park. It not only skillfully interchanges with the road below, but also makes landscape with the help of the undulating terrain of the bridge deck. You can see the small bridge flowing water, stone path, red maple and green pine. It makes full use of the landscaping techniques of Chinese classical gardens, and perfectly integrates the modern style. 128 stone column lights on both sides go directly to the gate of the century Walking inside, you can't help but feel the ambition of walking in the new century. With 16 glass sightseeing wells, you can get to the lower floor. The humanized design is harmonious and unified with the first two themes.

My friend, if you visit Century Park, you might as well stop for a moment and savor century square carefully, because its connotation is by no means a word of "beauty".

to configure

There is a large music fountain on the northwest side of the "central platform". The spring water is jubilant with the melody of the music. Sometimes the water column and the water flower are intertwined and shuttled, sometimes it goes straight to the clouds, sometimes it flows like a waterfall, sometimes it flows like a flower scattered by a heavenly daughter. It is so colorful and beautiful.

On the east side of the square, there is a century gate built by the mountain. Walking up the century gate, you can have a panoramic view of the square. The open-air stage at your feet is a place for large-scale gatherings and cultural activities in the development zone. A total of 620 lamps are installed in the square, including 330 lawn lamps, 85 courtyard lamps, 2 30 meter high ball lamps, 24 projection lamps, 8 Huabiao lamps and 8 floor lamps. This is the most beautiful scenic spot in the development zone.

The green area of century square is 150000 square meters, with a total of 150000 flowers planted, and a large area of lawn and green forest.
