Tianjin, China In 2022, DP Architects was appointed to work with the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City (SSTEC) for the overall master plan of the Green Innovation Park (GIP), which will act as the city centre within Eco-City. Tianjin Eco-City Green Innovation Park Master Plan by DP Architects, received an 2025 International Architecture Honourable Mention from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design. In response to the shifting focus on implementing “Dual Carbon” policies in China, the master planning of the Eco-City Centre aims to pioneer a sustainable development model which will be a symbol of bilateral cooperation between the two countries. Guided by Eco-City’s planning framework and Singapore’s sustainability experiences, the vision is to create a smart, eco-friendly, mixed-use central activity zone within Eco-City. The key element of the design strategy is the Central Activity Belt called the Eco-Boulevard which is a continuously growing urban landscape that connects the Sino-Singapore Friendship Park in the North and the Z4 Light Rail station in the South of the city centre. This belt comprises different hierarchies of permeable public spaces, complemented by a series of innovative infrastructures integrated with the latest sustainability measures. The Eco-atrium is an enclosed indoor public space with smart controls for passive cooling and energy saving. Eco-Veranda and Eco-Canopy are strategically located as circulation and node spaces, with sheltered walkways and event spaces integrated with BIPV glasses to harvest solar energy and rainwaters. The entire masterplan is also conceived into three different clusters, weaved amongst existing urban green spaces and traffic networks. The business portal cluster, located adjacent to the rail station, acts as a business development engine to create a demand for the influx of businesses and industries in the area. Innova Green, a 60,000 sqm mixed-use pilot project of the region, is also under construction. The Creative
