The renovation work of Beijing Zhongguancun aims to transform the isolated site into a park-style commercial complex, creating a sacred landmark that incorporates art, culture, technology, and design that meets the needs of the new generation. CAN breaks standard commercial conventions and proposes a transparent, multi-level, and interactive destination that creates new scenarios and experiential value in the development.

Inspired by the “green lung of the city”, the concept is a true reinterpretation of the retail-in-park / park-in-retail design. The design revitalizes Zhongguancun’s reputation as China’s Silicon Valley and provides a platform for the entire Zhongguancun Science City to showcase China’s newest technologies through different featured spaces.
