Populus X: Stitching Sites & Urban Oasis in Pinghu

Pinghu's New Epicentre: Populus X

Pinghu has undergone a drastic change with the introduction of the integrated high-speed rail hub. The old epicentre has shifted, and Ronghu now resides directly on the new epicentre of Pinghu, adjacent to Pinghu Integrated Transportation Hub - an epicentre we call Populus X. The name Populus signifies a space that appeases people of all ages, with X marking its centre.

Stitching Together Adjacent Sites

QUAD Studio architectural studio utilized the development of Populus X to stitch together adjacent sites by linking pedestrian footbridges that penetrate into the development. The porosity of the podium welcomes and attracts visitors to the heart of the development, where they have created an Urban Oasis and an Urban Green Enclave.

Form Finding Approach

QUAD Studio architectural studio's form-finding approach to the Populus X project was imperative in utilizing the development's location. They aimed to create a space that would seamlessly blend into the surrounding large-scale developments in the city of Pinghu, including Pinghu Station - a large integrated transportation hub second only to the one developed in the heart of Qianhai District.

An Urban Oasis and an Urban Green Enclave

The Urban Oasis and Urban Green Enclave created by QUAD Studio architectural studio in the heart of Populus X are a sight to behold. The porosity of the podium welcomes visitors into a lush green space that offers a break from the hustle and bustle of Pinghu. The footbridges that penetrate the development offer unique vantage points, adding to the overall experience of the project.
