The last undeveloped downtown area, Urban Centre's scheme
comprises retail spaces on the ground floor, housing on the
eastern edge, and an office tower in the western corner of
the site. Diverse programs thus stimulate activities throughout
the day. Constructed above a uniform underground garage structure,
the three segments interact with surrounding urban structure
while creating a new, more intimate space within. Volume scheme
reflects existing urban morphology: the tallest western volume
faces the new roundabout and tall buildings on adjoining street
and the lower central volume of retail spaces introduces a
new urban scheme. Eastern volume, housing retails spaces on
the ground floor and apartments above, faces the open area
of the bus station, the future city square.
