case study of commercial complex

Nanfung Commercial Complex by Aedas

The complex is a landmark with an area of 75000 sqm, designed by Aedas in 2013 is located in Guangzhou with a total site area of about 159,000 sqm connected to the metro exit. The complex has manly exhibition areas comprising two multi-use buildings. One building has all the commercial activities including trampoline park, Exhibition areas at lower floor and commercial office above and the other building has hospitality and exhibition complex with conventional 3 story exhibition building with double height mass entertainment floor and a 500-room luxury hotel. 

Concept and Form

The early concept began with multiple options on how to position the projects, two relationships to their middle neighbour. The architects chose the intensify approach, focusing on how to increase the volume of the two sites in relation to each other so as to recede in value and making it more neutral. The form then evolved by breaking down the massing vertically, increasing the interrelation between site and the structure. Followed by the focus was to break the monolithic blocks which helped in building the relation between the two buildings creating an illusion of a single building.

The building is shaped somewhat like old fashioned wooden pencil boxes, where the building blocks are stacked on one another of random lengths stacked loosely on top of one another. The basic idea behind this was to make the building stand out among the surrounding buildings. Both the buildings have a visual disconnection between base and superstructure although the overall building arrangement the upper sections links the two buildings together which resolved the problem of creating single image for two buildings,160m apart and separated by the existing building. The elongated boxes appear as convex shape for hotels and concave shaped in case of offices. 

The structure creates a dramatic and animated appearance with its horizontal elements accentuated through small and large shifts to maximize the dialogue between the buildings giving a unified expression to the exhibition complex. The design is in response to the site context and its direct relation to the passive middle neighbour by volumetric placement and articulation of both the towers and podium. 

The segregation of spaces is well planned by the Aedas where all the food courts and retail shops are planned the lower floors which needs a larger area followed by office spaces at the upper floors. Lifts, fire staircase and services at each end of the structure. The effect of casually arranged stack of box like form roughly follows the interior planning of the hotel rooms. The lobby is 4 levels above the ground level. This provides a space with heavy diagonal props supports for the above 15 floors visible at the bottom of the open rectangle. The structure has loading areas and the parking levels below ground. The building height is near about 123 m and the office building has irregular formations of the boxes. The exterior is carved up into number of giant boxes their outward ends replaced by glass walls. Sliding or staggering floor plates breaks the massing of the huge structure allowing light to enter the inner exhibition hall areas. The angular inclination of walls helps to reduce the massiveness of the spaces at the interiors as well not overpowering the humans working inside or the visitors.

Structure and Materials

Very innovative structural system was designed by the structural designers to provide an optimized solution for the complex considering its complexity and cost saving as well. The structure was challenging structurally due to the staggering of the floor plates in planning. The structure is also a combination of shear walls and moment frames in stabilizing the irregular and distorted forms ensuring earthquake endurance and economically feasible structure. The structure is a combination of cantilevered beams, trusses helping in creating the complex architectural massing and obstruction free spaces. The structural system has been developed so as to produce the architectural forms and spaces without compromising on spatial use. Wind tunnels were used to examine the effect of wind load on the structural system of the building. Before handing over the building several shaking tests were taken on the building to check its stability.

The tower endeavors to be environment friendly through the green initiatives by use of Variable speed drive screw type chiller, variable frequency chilled water pump and replacement of T8 Fluorescent tubes to LED tubes. Low e-glass and solar film are used for curtain wall system to prevent heat transmission to the building. Dual Flushing cistern and water saving faucets have been installed to save fresh flushing water. Automatic water cut off system with cut off valves have been installed to prevent water leakage. Recycling paper, bottles, cans and batteries, reusing the decoration materials and using recycled or reused materials with local artists at the entrance lobby.

Brief - After the fire in Tehran Grand Bazaar crystal sellers relocated to Sabounian Street, adjacent to Shoush Square. Due to the poor state of the historical fabric of this area, there was an urgent need for local regeneration. An initiative was for formed by local trade’s union to create a commercial centre. It aimed to concentrate local crystal sector under one umbrella and facilitate an organic long-term regeneration in the local vicinity.

Challenge -  Currently supplies are distributed via docks and stations, chaotically spread across the streets or via small shopping malls without any form of amenity or services. On the other hand, relocation of the crystal sector to Shoush Square, brings more women and families to the local vicinity which currently suffers from lack of safety and security. Drastic safety improvements are vital in order in order to create a more inclusive neighbourhood in which local businesses can flourish.  

Project -  Pransa Complex has been created as a response to this challenge. It aims to accommodate the local traders under a unified umbrella and to provide a safe environment for the visitors. It is the first seed of a long-term regeneration programme to help improve local economy and urban quality.

Pransa is a mixed use commercial-office complex, located on a 3600 square meter land, with an approximate gross area of 40,000 sqm. Architectural organisation of the project is inspired by that of the historical Iranian Bazzars. Iranian Bazzars are typically comprised of two main elements, “Raste” and “Timche”.  “Raste” is the main axial route connecting one end of the market to the other. “Timche” is a smaller, dead-end, alley that branches off from the main route. Utilising this organisation enables urban permeability and maximises flow of people into the complex. The building connects Moghariyan and Sabounian streets as the two main arteries on the east and west sides of the complex. Commercial units are located on the primary root (Raste) and the secondary branches (Timche). This layout enables inherent street-like organisation within the shopping mall. It allows for specialist sub-sector commercial units to be concentrated in smaller alleys and easy navigated by their address.

The central atrium, establishes visual connection between various levels while and directs natural light into the building.  Escalators and panoramic lifts, located in the central atrium, are used to connect different levels of the shopping mall while maintaining a maximum level of transparency and visual connection. Office spaces rise above the commercial unit in separate blocks which are connected via a perpendicular bridge. Their geometry and orientation strike a balance between natural light penetration and provision of urban views from inside the units.

Due to the lack of public space and social amenities, open spaces between the blocks have been designated to public and semi-public social spaces. These raised platforms provide panoramic urban views for general public and the building residents. Pransa complex consists of:

- 4 levels of underground parking with the capacity of more than 500 parking lots

- 280 commercial units, spread over three floors across lower ground to the second floor level

- Variety of restaurant on the third level

- 70 office units between level fourth to the eighth

- Building services have been concealed behind the building parapet on the roofscape. 

Pransa complex, inspired from the history of the region, is a precedents of the regeneration of the decayed urban fabric that aims to revitalise the local economy and improve safety and quality of its surrounding vicinity.

Urban commercial complex, as a kind of composite building with multiple functional spaces, is becoming the main body of the development of urban commercial buildings. It is of great significance to apply the ecological architectural design concept to the design of urban commercial complex. Taking Shanghai The Roof commercial complex as an example, this paper shows the application of ecological building technology and methods in commercial complex, and discusses the theory and strategy of integrating ecological building concept into architectural design, so as to provide some reference for the ecological design of urban commercial complex.

TOWERS IN THE SUNSHINE

A 300-unit apartment complex marks the return of ALL Sunshine Crane Rental Corp., a member of the ALL Family of Companies, to the tower crane market in the Orlando metro area.

T.J. Wicklander, general manager of ALL Sunshine Crane Rental Corp., was previously a sales rep at ALL’s Chicago branch, Central Contractors Service. Chicago is a tower-crane heavy town. At one point a few years ago, more than 30 of the 50 tower cranes dotting the Chicago skyline originated with Central. So, getting back into tower work was like a homecoming for Wicklander, who estimates it’s been more than a decade since his current branch had erected a tower in Orlando, focusing instead on other equipment opportunities.

The new apartment complex, Parkway Crossing, will be a modest four stories tall, but will encompass a sprawling, nearly six-acre parcel. ALL is providing two Potain MDT 219 tower cranes, positioned at opposite ends of the job site, to assist with construction.

Each Potain MDT 219 has an 11-ton capacity, a 360-degree rotating main boom of 159 feet, and a jib that reaches 213 feet. The towers will occupy a small footprint on the jobsite but can cover large areas, making them ideal for longer term construction projects. They also feature Manitowoc’s Crane Control System (CCS) for additional efficiency and precision.

With each tower placed at opposite ends of the construction site, the pair can cover the entire project with a small overlap in the center, where the parking garage will be located.

Contractors are discovering that they can affordably use multiple towers on larger jobs and reduce reliance on the more common crawlers, rough terrain cranes, and truck cranes, long a hallmark of material handling in construction.

“Due to the configuration of this piece of land, it would have been difficult to fit a standard crane,” said Wicklander. “Then, on one end of the jobsite, there’s a retention pond that would have created close quarters as construction progressed. These site-specific issues made the twin towers a perfect solution.”

A tower’s small footprint also reduces traffic and clutter on the jobsite, while offering outstanding up-and-over reach, allowing access to the complete work area. One tower can replace several specialized pieces of lift equipment, particularly crawlers and RTs, which would need to traverse the site and require the ground prep and requisite labor for ground prep and equipment operation. Towers also run cleaner with no exhaust, loud engines, or noise ordinance issues.

Wicklander appreciates how the project showcases the ability of ALL’s national branches to work together. “To build the first crane, we received sections of tower from sister branches in Tennessee and North Carolina,” said Wicklander. “Then the tower erector technician came over from our Atlanta branch to help set it up.” He notes that the second Potain MDT 219 will be coming entirely from the ALL branch in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Evaluating Local Government Policy Innovations

A case study of surabaya's efforts in combating stunting and enhancing public health services quality.

• Deasy Arieffiani Public Administration Department, Hang Tuah University, Surabaya, Indonesia
• Mas Roro Lilik Ekowanti Public Administration Department, Hang Tuah University, Surabaya, Indonesia

This research aims to evaluate regional innovations in implementing Surabaya City government policies to reduce stunting rates and improve the quality of public health services. A qualitative descriptive method was used with a case study approach involving field observations and structured interviews. The research results show the success of Posyandu Prima in reducing stunting rates significantly in the last two years. The Surabaya City Government has proven effective in managing this program's human resources and budget. The active involvement of Great Surabaya Cadres (KSH) and non-governmental organizations also contributed greatly to the program's success. Cross-sector collaboration plays an important role in supporting implementation. Institutional characteristics, such as commitment to public health and ability to collaborate, also matter. Theoretically, this research shows that synergy between the parties involved and government commitment can achieve significant results in handling the stunting problem. In conclusion, the Prima Posyandu Program has proven successful in reducing stunting rates and improving the quality of public health services in Surabaya. Additionally, the collaborative efforts between community stakeholders, healthcare providers, and governmental bodies underscore the crucial role of multi-sectoral partnerships in addressing complex public health issues like stunting. This synergy fosters comprehensive approaches that combine local knowledge, resources, and policy support to effectively combat stunting and enhance the well-being of communities. Thus, the Prima Posyandu Program's success is a compelling example of how concerted action and sustained commitment can yield tangible improvements in population health outcomes.

SpaceX Starship-Super Heavy Project at Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A

Project updates, proposed action.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as the lead Federal agency intends to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of issuing a commercial launch Vehicle Operator License to SpaceX for the Starship-Super Heavy launch vehicle at Launch Complex 39A (LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), Florida. SpaceX proposes to construct launch, landing, and other associated infrastructure at and in proximity to LC-39A. The proposal would also include Starship-Super Heavy launches at LC-39A; recoverable Super Heavy booster and Starship landings at LC-39A or on a droneship; and expendable Super Heavy booster and Starship landings in the ocean.   SpaceX must obtain a vehicle operator license from FAA for Starship-Super Heavy launch and landing operations. Issuing a vehicle operator license and approving airspace closures is considered a major Federal action under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).  In consideration of SpaceX’s revised proposal, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and FAA have determined that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is the appropriate level of NEPA analysis to address the adjusted scope of Starship-Super Heavy at LC-39A. SpaceX will prepare the EIS under the supervision of the FAA which will serve as the lead agency at NASA’s request. While the 2019 EA prepared by NASA provides an analytical baseline, the environmental impacts of these proposed changes to Starship-Super Heavy LC-39A development and operations will be specifically analyzed in this EIS.  The EIS will consider the potential environmental impacts of the Proposed Action and the No Action Alternative. The successful completion of the environmental review process does not guarantee that the FAA would issue a Vehicle Operator License. The project must also meet all FAA safety, risk, and indemnification requirements for the appropriate license.

Scoping Period

Providing public comments.

The FAA published the Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an EIS to evaluate the potential environmental impacts of issuing a commercial launch vehicle operator license to SpaceX for the Starship-Super Heavy launch vehicle at LC-39A at KSC, Florida on May 10, 2024, on the Federal Register .  Publication of the NOI initiated the public scoping period. The FAA invites interested agencies, organizations, Native American Tribes, and members of the public to submit comments which will inform the FAA on the significant issues to be analyzed in depth in the EIS (e.g., range of actions, alternatives, environmental impacts). Comments, statements, or questions concerning scoping issues must be identified with FAA-2024-1395 and may be provided to FAA as follows:

• Federal E-Rulemaking Portal:   https://www.regulations.gov . Retrieve the docket by conducting a search for “FAA-2024-1395” and follow the online instructions for submitting comments.  Please note that the FAA will post all comments on the Internet without changes, including any personal information provided.
• By U.S. mail to Ms. Eva Long, FAA Environmental Protection Specialist, c/o Leidos, 2877 Guardian Lane, Virginia Beach, VA 23452.

The FAA encourages submitting comments electronically through the Federal E-Rulemaking Portal. If comments are submitted electronically, commenters do not need to also submit a hard copy. All comments received will be posted without change to https://www.regulations.gov . Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, be advised that your entire comment – including any personal identifying information you provide – may be publicly available at any time.  While you can request in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. To ensure sufficient time to consider issues identified during the public scoping period, comments should be submitted no later than June 24, 2024 . All comments will receive the same attention and consideration in the preparation of the EIS.

Participating in Public Scoping Meetings

FAA will hold three IN-PERSON scoping meetings and one VIRTUAL public scoping meeting.  The meetings will allow the public to receive information on the Proposed Action, meet lead and cooperating agency representatives, and provide comments to the record. 

The IN-PERSON meetings will be held on June 12, 2024, and June 13, 2024.  

• The June 12, 2024, meetings will be held from 2 p.m. – 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. (Eastern) at the Radisson Cape Canaveral, 8701 Astronaut Blvd, Cape Canaveral, Florida 32920.  
• The June 13, 2024, meeting will be held from 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. (Eastern) at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, Space Commerce Way, Merritt Island, Florida 32953.
• All meetings will consist of an open house information-station format wherein the FAA will provide information describing the purpose of the scoping meetings, project schedule, opportunities for public involvement, Proposed Action and alternatives summary, and environmental resource area summary.  Fact sheets will be made available containing similar information.  At any time during the meetings, the public will have the opportunity to provide verbal comments to a court reporter or written comments via a written comment form at one of several commenting stations.  English-Spanish translation services will be provided at the in-person meetings.

The VIRTUAL meeting will be held on June 17, 2024; 6 p.m. – 8 p.m. (Eastern); the URL and call-in number for the meeting will be provided in advance on the FAA’s SpaceX Starship-SuperHeavy at Kennedy Space Center's project webpage .

• The virtual meeting will consist of a closed-captioned auto-run presentation describing the purpose of the scoping meetings, project schedule, opportunities for public involvement, Proposed Action and alternatives summary, and environmental resource area summary.  Presentations will be run at the beginning of each hour. Members of the public may provide written comments via the chat function during the presentation and for the remainder of each hour.  Verbal comments up to three minutes can be given after the completion of each presentation.  A moderator will facilitate verbal comments.  English-Spanish translation services for verbal comments will be provided.  Both English and Spanish versions of the presentation will be made available to the public on FAA’s project website.

If any accommodation for the public meetings is needed, (such additional translation services) please submit a request by June 5, 2024, to the project email address: [email protected] . 

Project Background

When fully operational, SpaceX proposes that the Starship-Super Heavy launch vehicle will offer a heavy lift platform that expands the company’s ability to execute the totality of its current and expected future customers’ requirements.  By providing a reusable launch vehicle, SpaceX proposes that the Starship-Super Heavy would deliver efficient access to space and enable cost-effective delivery of cargo and people to the moon and Mars.  Currently, SpaceX is conducting flight tests of the Starship-Super Heavy at Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, an exclusive use launch site that serves as SpaceX’s primary research, development, and flight test launch facility for the vehicle. In September 2019, the NASA completed the Final Environmental Assessment for the SpaceX Starship and Super Heavy Launch Vehicle at KSC (“2019 EA”) to evaluate the potential environmental impacts resulting from construction and operations associated with utilization of LC-39A for the SpaceX Starship-Super Heavy launch vehicle in practical applications. LC-39A is a SpaceX-leased launch site located on northern KSC property and currently supports SpaceX’s Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches.  Within the context of the 2019 EA, the scope of the Proposed Action was defined as infrastructure development and Starship-Super Heavy operations.  Infrastructure development included construction of a launch mount, liquid methane farm, transport road, deluge water system, landing zone, and high-pressure gaseous commodity lines. Operations involved approximately 24 Starship-Super Heavy launches per year. NASA’s resultant Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) issued on September 19, 2019, concluded that the environmental impacts associated with Starship-Super Heavy infrastructure development and operations would not individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the quality of the biological or physical environment.  SpaceX did not submit a vehicle operator license application for the Starship-Super Heavy launch operations at LC-39A subsequent to the completion of the 2019 EA; therefore, the FAA did not have a federal action to adopt NASA’s EA/FONSI.  While the purpose and need for Starship-Super Heavy at LC-39A have not changed since the 2019 EA, the Starship-Super Heavy concept of operations has evolved from the original 2019 EA scope. SpaceX now proposes to construct additional launch infrastructure not previously contemplated in the 2019 EA; launch an advanced design of the Starship and Super Heavy vehicle; operate at a projected higher launch tempo; and land the Super Heavy booster at LC-39A in support of the reusability concept. Starship landings are no longer proposed to occur at Landing Zone 1 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.

PERSPECTIVE article

Please learn from my mistakes: the acute need for an entrepreneurial mindset in academic biosensor research provisionally accepted.

• 1 University of Cincinnati, United States

The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

History is full of technological breakthroughs that arguably were first discovered because fundamental research was conducted without commercial influence. Fundamental research also plays an important role in producing the next genera@on of researchers. However, this ar@cle argues that research in general, and in par@cular biosensor research, is suffering from diminishing impact because of a lack of entrepreneurial mindset when defining research objec@ves. The story of the authors own biosensor research pathway is presented, and provides an exemplary case study of this larger problem. An entrepreneurial mindset enables a stronger founda@on even at the stage of research hypothesis forma@on: the need for the research is jus@fied; the research is not duplica@ve and is posi@oned to create new knowledge; the research product will be more readily translatable by industry. Most graduates in sensors research will work in industry, and therefore those students exposed to an entrepreneurial mindset will also start their careers with a more complete set of the skills that industry is looking for. Introduc@on: Academic researchers are mostly rewarded for publica@ons, cita@ons, and grant funding above other metrics. It is therefore expected that these top metrics strongly influence the forma@on of research

Last summer was the hottest in last 2,000 years, new study says

(CNN) - Last summer was the hottest in at least 2,000 years, according to a new study.

The new research study was published Tuesday in the journal Nature.

Scientists looked at weather data and detailed sets of tree rings from thousands of trees across nine regions of the Northern Hemisphere.

Tree rings provide a climate history for each year of the tree’s life, going back centuries or even thousands of years.

Scientists were able to use that data to reconstruct annual temperatures for Northern Hemisphere summers.

They found that the summer of 2023 was hotter than any other summer in at least 2,000 years. They warn that 2024 is on track to be even hotter.
