The scope of design and research includes the following three levels:

(1)Overall research scope: An area of about 345 hectares within the community boundary of Nanling Village, Nanwan Street is taken as the overall research scope.

(2)Overall urban design scope: A 253-hectare area, as the implementation scope of land consolidation and interest coordination service, will be demolished and reconstructed; based on the overall research scope, it will deduct the reserved areas such as the currently newly-built communities, public supporting facilities that should not be demolished, historical cultural relics, ancient and precious trees, etc.

(3)The detailed urban design scope of the core area: Detailed urban design is unfolded with north-south main axis (Lingnan Avenue) and the rippling circles of three metro stations within the overall urban design scope as the core area (the scope is to be determined).

Overall urban design

Based on the comprehensive analysis of the development of the whole Nanling Village area, the design unit should explicitly define the planning orientation and development objectives, and put forward the overall urban design concept; propose the industrial and functional positioning, plan the spatial distribution of future business format, and improve the land use layout and functional allocation; reinforce the research on land spatial utilization, provide three-dimensional volume simulation for the planning of land consolidation and interest coordination service, and demonstrate the feasibility of the implementation of planned technical indicators; create systematic spatial solutions via multiple levels such as planning, architecture, transportation and landscape.

Detailed urban design of the core areas

Regarding the core area, a detailed urban design is carried out to reflect the design effect and implementation. The design unit puts forward specific functional planning and innovative space and architectural schemes for the core areas, builds the landmark image of the area, creates distinctive places, and performs more detailed guidance and control over the core area scope in combination with the integrated and comprehensive development of metro stations.

Ad hoc research:

1) Research on TOD;

2) Research on underground space development;

3) Research on site vertical and earthwork balance;

4) Research on historical culture protection and utilization.

(1) The International Competition adopts open application without qualification requirements. The applicant must be an independent legal person enterprise or institution registered at home and abroad. If it is an overseas unit, it must apply jointly with an independent legal person enterprise registered at home.

(2) Consortium application is accepted. No more than three members are allowed in each consortium. Members of the consortium must not apply again on its own or with other design units as another consortium. The consortium members should sign the Consortium Agreement with legal force and clarify the leading unit and the work division of all parties. The application of individuals and individual groups is not accepted.

(3) Teams with similar design experience will be prioritized:

 a) With rich urban design experience in urban renewal and key urban areas;

 b) With experience and successful cases in the architectural engineering design of building complex above large-scale integrated transportation hubs(TOD).

(4) The conceptual proposal, namely the conceptual understanding of the Project. The conceptual proposal text should be bound into one volume separately in A3 size (297 mm × 420 mm), with one original and seven copies, and no more than 5 pieces of paper (excluding the cover and catalog. The design agency may choose single-sided or double-sided printing, with no more than 10 pages on both sides).

(5) The planning and design personnel participating in the International Competition should be the personnel on the payroll of the design agency. The chief designer must be the actually responsible person of the Project, and needs to join the whole process of the International Competition, and participate in and report the site visit, review Q&A and achievement report. In order to ensure an accurate understanding of the background of Chinese region and relevant requirements, the Project planning and design personnel should include at least one member proficient in Chinese.

(6) The design agency or consortium which have applied for the Competition should deliver the complete competition application materials to the designated location before 15:00, August 5, 2022 (Beijing time) with the text "Application materials for International Urban Design Competition of the Land Consolidation Interest Coordination Project for Nanling Village Community, Nanwan Street, Longgang District" marked on the envelope.

The International Competition will be unfolded in three stages: Stage I - Open application and pre-qualification; Stage II - Design competition; and Stage III - Determination of winners.

Stage I - Open application and pre-qualification

The International Competition adopts open application. The pre-qualification jury will perform a comprehensive review on the business materials (including the company's overview, achievements, teams, etc.) and conceptual proposals (see 3. Composition of Pre-qualification Documents for details) submitted by the applicant agency, and select six shortlisted design agencies to Stage II - Design Competition through open ballot (round-by-round elimination). At the same time, two alternative design agencies (with ranking) should be selected among publicly applied participating agencies. Alternative participating agencies will substitute shortlisted design agencies withdrawn from the competition in sequence.

Stage II - Design competition

Six shortlisted design agencies should submit deliverables that meet the requirements in the Design Brief of the Competition. The scheme review jury should review the submitted deliverables and select the top three applicant units for Stage III - Determination of winners. The scheme review jury should give review opinions regarding the top three design agencies and recommend them to the host.

Stage III - Determination of winners

Based on respect toward opinions of the scheme review jury, the host ranks the top three via voting.

The first-place winner will be awarded the subsequent design development contract, take charge of developing the deliverables of subsequent urban design competition, cooperate with relevant government departments in completing urban design guidelines and pass the government examination and approval, and provide consulting service at the same time for two years.

Competition agenda (tentative)

☆    All time is subject to Beijing time, and the host reserves the right to adjust the schedule.

The first-place winner will receive RMB 3 million as the bonus and RMB 5 million as the design development and consulting fee.

The second-place winner will receive RMB 2 million as the bonus.

The third-place winner will receive RMB 1.5 million as the bonus.

The fourth to sixth-place winners will receive RMB 1.2 million as the bonus respectively.
