Best wishes from all of us at Vector for the Year of the Tiger!!

“Legend has it that colleges and universities in Wuhan each embraces a hill. And Huazhong University of Science and Technology embraces the highest peak of the downtown area of Wuhan. Yujia Shan.” The National Gravity Research Center designed by Vector, mentioned as a key national scientific and technological equipment, is set at the foot of this hill.

Embracing biophilic architecture principles, Vector is the laureate of the competition for the design of the Core of the Future. Located at the center of Jianzhou New Town, close to Chengdu's recently opened Tianfu International Airport, the project proposes an iconic image of clouds seemingly floating above the extended central park of the city. The mixed-use program comprises offices, apartments, a 5-star hotel as well as commercial and cultural facilities.

Based on the experience and reputation acquired over the years in the field of office parks, Vector is invited to join the competition to design an office park in Beijing, for a leading industrial group.

Today, the difficult fight against the aggressive Covid-19 teaches interesting lessons to architects involved in Public, Residential and Commercial projects… as well as in Hospital design. In fact, both design strategies are linked in a way that the goal is always to create some kind of barrier between the polluted outside and the clean inside with a transitional area in between.

- In the case of residential or public areas, the design is linked mostly to the (re)design of the transitional entrance area, or lobby.

- In the case of hospitals, the design is obviously more complex but the goal stays the same: a careful progression from open public spaces, to staff secure & clean areas.

This is the principle we have used in our recent design for an International Hospital in Wuhan which could become, with some adjustments, a reference for the hospitals of tomorrow.

Vector was selected to take part in an international competition for a super high-rise tower in a prime location of Chengdu, Sichuan, for one of the largest Chinese industrial groups.

Matthieu Augereau was invited to take part in an event in Shenzhen with the Smart Building Alliance for Smart Cities (SBA) with representatives of large groups like ENGIE, Vinci, Decayeux, Artelia… as well as startups during its learning and networking expedition to China. Created in France in 2012, SBA is an industrial association whose main objective is to support and promote the actors of the building industry in the digitalization and the sustainability era.

Vector has been commissioned to renovate a “historical” landmark tower in the center of Chengdu, Sichuan, as part of a plan to revitalize the surroundings of Tianfu Square.

Best wishes from all of us at Vector for the Year of the Pig!!

Vector was invited to take part in the “Forum on Global Production Capacity and Business Cooperation” with the WISDRI in Wuhan, co-hosted by the National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Commerce, All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and Hubei Provincial People’s Government. Aiming at promoting international cooperation and pursuing innovation and mutual benefits in many sectors, the Forum gathered government leaders and leading companies from many countries.

The construction of the 1^st phase of the Gravity Research Center in Huazhong University is progressing well; the facades are now being mounted. Judging from the construction site pictures, the result is quite satisfying and matching the design scheme perspectives. We are looking forward to see a good final result, for the university and for us.

We are excited to have been selected to join the competition for an international hospital. Designing a hospital is challenging enough in itself; but the land of this project will require creativity: it is made of 4 plots separated by municipal roads, it is crossed by an underground metro line, and the green ratio has to reach 50%. Let’s see what we can come up with…

Happy Year of the Dog! Best wishes from all of us at Vector, health and fortune.
