Fu Hua Corporation asked Hetzel Design to come up with an innovative scheme for the new Chang Sha City Center and transportation hub. A new, state of the art subway and train station is at the heart of this scheme, a major incubator for urban development of businesses, hotels, branded apartments, sports and entertainment venues. A pair of iconic mixed-use towers creates a GATEWAY, marking the most prominent intersection already enhanced by a circular pedestrian bridge and a giant LED LANTERN. Hetzel has tried to balance the heroic (and massive scale) overall design statement with the introduction of small scale, intimate pedestrian-friendly environments, narrow streets, alleyways, river promenades, plazas and parks.
