中央公园项目

Seeing this project for the first time stopped me dead.There have been major advances in the incorporation of greenery in high-rise buildings over the past few years – but nothing on the scale of this building has been attempted or achieved.

One Central Park strongly points the way forward, not only for an essential naturalization of our built environment, but for a new aesthetic for our cities – an aesthetic entirely appropriate to the environmental challenges of our age.

Its vegetated systems are more than ‘green bling’ and provide new habitat for flora and fauna, improve building thermal efficiency, improve air quality, harvest storm water, provide biophilia, reduce noise pollution and mitigate the impacts of urban heat island effects.

One Central Park represents the very best of urban living and demonstrates that density and height can provide dynamic, cosmopolitan environments that many people are keen to live in.
