COP CITY PLAZA

The project is located in Hedong District, Tianjin, on the golden waterfront of the Haihe River in the city center, facing the business center in Heping District across the river. It has the imcomparable advantage of the Haihe River scenery.

The urban plaza project is based on classical tradition, using classical elements to appropriately decorate modernism, retaining the general style, materials and colors of forms, but still strongly feeling the historical traces and thick cultural connotations of the tradition, while abandoning the overly complex textures and decorations of classical architecture, simplifying lines, and refining complex forms into simplicity, forming a decorative style that is different from classical architecture.

Both the overall architectural composition and the small details such as the layout of the community entrance gate and building entries adopt a centrally symmetrical layout to emphasize the visual focus. By breaking up and reorganizing single solid massing of the architecture, making it the focus.

In addition to central symmetry, the small district entrance adopts a three-bay composition pattern, reinforcing the visual focus through design techniques. Through absolute symmetry, balanced proportions, and humanized scales, it emphasizes the perfect fusion of modern and traditional as well as the ritual artistic feel unique to neoclassicism. The golden ratio facade proportion reflects the elites' pursuit of design perfection.

The community gate adopts warm and varied golden brown stone materials. The tops, through the mixed use of metals, are decorated with a noble crown shape.

The top of the gate is slightly angled, softening the architectural squareness and forming a strong sculptural feel, highlighting the dignified and elegant quality of the entire small district.

The building entrances also adopt a three-bay pattern, with a signature large canopy roof, and the two sides are supplemented by symmetrically arranged secondary volumes. Overall simple and grand, although without overly lavish decorative details, it conveys a unique sense of quality and nobility.
