This was a short exercise to plan a large area near the tech research and manufacturing center of Hsinchu. An irregular shaped site traversed by waterways, roadways, railways, and existing low-rise settlements provided some challenges in terms of configuring uses. One waterway connecting to an existing development area focused on a lakeside park to the south became a major organizing element of the plan.

The project has made significant progress in terms of new, high-rise residential and the plan is about 30% complete (so far, this is about 60 towers of 20-30 stories each, most of which have ground level retail/F&B). New rail has been put in place and new stations have been/will continue to be added.

Role: Brian Jennett was the lead designer for this effort and produced the drawings and presentation while employed at Haigo Shen International Engineering Consultants.
