Text description provided by the architects. Construction is underway on SPARK’s landmark Raffles City Ningbo development, a one- stop shopping, dining, business, and lifestyle destination covering some 157,800 sq m. In order to realize the project, a world-class design team is assembled, led by award- winning architects SPARK, and including Meinhardt (MEP consultant), Arup (fire engineer), MVA (traffic consultant) and the Ningbo local design institute (LDI).

宁波是中国第二大港口，拥有日益富裕的人口。去年，由新加坡总理李显龙先生和浙江省副省长龚征先生主持的宁波莱佛士市正式成立。该项目包括一个购物中心、一个甲级写字楼和服务住宅，是新加坡CapitaLand开发的“莱佛士城”品牌中的最新一个。

Ningbo is home to China’s second largest port, boasting an increasingly affluent population. Raffles City Ningbo was launched last year, graced by Singapore Prime Minister Mr. Lee Hsien Loong and Zhejiang Province Vice-Governor Mr. Gong Zheng. The project, which comprises a mall, a Grade A office tower and serviced residences, is the latest in the “Raffles City” brand developed by Singapore-based CapitaLand.

宁波莱佛士市位于余姚河以东，位于江北区，毗邻宁波历史悠久的市中心。该项目标志着首都土地总体规划的最后阶段，将成为江北区发展的催化剂，在城市中创建一个新的中心区。办公大楼下面的地铁线路将巩固城市基础设施的发展，并帮助创建这一新的购物和商业目的地。

Raffles City Ningbo is located to the east of the Yuyao River, within the Jiangbei district, next to Ningbo’s historical downtown. The project marks the final phase of CapitaLand’s masterplan and will act as a catalyst development for the Jiangbei District, creating a new downtown district in the city. The planned subway link beneath the office tower will cement the development into the city’s infrastructure and assist in the creation of this new shopping and business destination.

星星之火首席执行官斯蒂芬·平布利(StephenPimbley)表示：“为了满足所有终端用户的需求，该项目有”慢速的国内面孔“和”快速的公民面孔“。住宅构件坐落在一个经过美化、沉陷的庭院的角落：这有助于缓和表达塔的规模，并创造出一个平静的家庭环境，让零售平台的人群避开城市的喧嚣。“他接着说：“零售平台和写字楼的生动形象直接与城市联系在一起，并将宁波较老的部分与发展中地区联系在一起，由莱佛士市(Raffles City)锚定。”

According to Stephen Pimbley, CEO of SPARK: “In order to meet the needs of the full spectrum of end users, the development has a “slow domestic face” and a “fast civic face”. The residential component sits on the corner of a landscaped, sunken courtyard: this helps moderate and articulate the scale of the tower and creates a calm domestic environment, sheltered from the noise of the city by the mass of the retail podium.” He continues: “The animated face of the retail podium and the office building engage directly with the city and link the older part of Ningbo across the river with the developing quarter, anchored by Raffles City.”

尽管宁波莱佛士城是一个大规模的开发项目，但星火公司已经设计了各种部件，以实现人性化的工作。波浪状的层状条带，让人联想到岩层中的地层。Pimbley解释说：“这不仅仅是一种建筑装置，它可以拆散对着住宅楼的建筑质量，它已经成为一个活生生的主题，把开发的各个方面结合在一起。例如，在零售平台的背景下，这种实用的丝带美学使结构的每一部分都能无缝地结合在一起，给建筑带来了一种几乎是家庭化的感觉，而在无处不在的购物中心盒子中往往缺乏这种感觉。“

Although Raffles City Ningbo is a large-scale development by any standards, SPARK has designed the various components to work on a human scale. Wavy, layered ribbons, reminiscent of the strata found in rock formations are used throughout. Pimbley explains: “This is not just an architectural device to break up the mass of the building facing the residential tower; it has become something of a letmotif, tying all aspects of the development together. In the context of the retail podium, for example, this applied, ribbon aesthetic enables each part of the structure to fit seamlessly together, lending the building a feeling of an almost domestic scale, so often lacking in the ubiquitous shopping mall box.”

这个零售平台已经被新加坡建筑和建筑管理局授予绿色马克金徽章。Pimbley说：“建筑平衡了空间需求和可持续需求。过高的空间，受到许多商场开发商的喜爱，被认为增加了质量和价值。在我看来，它们创造了额外的建筑体积，需要更多的能源来加热和冷却，因此可能是浪费和不可持续的。“

The retail podium has already been awarded a Green Mark Gold Badge by Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority. Pimbley says, “The building balances spatial demands with sustainable requirements. Excessively high spaces, beloved by many mall developers, are perceived to add quality and value. In my view, they create extra building volume which requires more energy to heat and cool and therefore can be wasteful and unsustainable.”
