Nickl & Partner Architekten

Nickl & Partner Architectural Design Consulting (Beijing) Co.,Ltd together with partner China Architecture Design & Research Group has successfully participated in competition of Beijing Center for Disease Control (BCDC) and taken the first place.

The Great Wall is the oldest and greatest fortification in human civilization. The logo of the Beijing Center for Disease Control (BCDC) also uses the image of the Great Wall to highlight the significance of the BCDC as a line of defense. We combine this meaning with the curve of the Great Wall and design the main entrance façade as an irregular curve shape. Through this unique design, we express the defensiveness of the building.

The entire building design adopts a modular design form. Each module is functionally configured according to different usage requirements., and each module is linked with the spindle. In the subsequent design process, the function can be flexibly adjusted.

Through the modular enclosure design, the landscape courtyard is naturally created. They are staggered on both sides of the main shaft with the atrium on the main shaft. Provides an excellent working environment for the interior of the building. The landscaped courtyard on the outside of the building is designed with natural, modern and simple landscapes to provide laboratory staff with a relaxed and refined atmosphere. The atrium of the main axis uses an artistically-designed landscape arrangement to stimulate the spirit of innovation and promote communication between disciplines.
