In the heart of Kunshan Chengbei Industrial Park, a hub for China’s thriving ICT industry, lies the Fuyuan Neighborhood Center. This center manifests the humanistic care spirit under a fast-developing, ever-growing era, offering workers a welcome respite from the potential sense of alienation.
Transformed from substandard housing, the Fuyuan Neighborhood Center embodies a second life. This low-rise complex, reminiscent of industrial lofts, goes beyond improving living conditions. It fosters a vibrant social atmosphere, providing a platform for connection and leisure.
Fuyuan neighborhood values life experiences at the moment: a breathtaking sunset, a party with close friends, or a bottle of beer. As a beacon within the industrial park, the center reminds workers that they are more than a means of production, but are valued individuals just as themselves. The warm and inviting lighting design reflects this empathy, creating a space that encourages people to discover more possibilities in life.
The use of light is not merely functional. The color temperature subtly evokes emotions subtly. Cool white light makes people rational, while warm white light fosters a sense of calm and comfort. The strategic use of lighting to define public and private space further enhances the sense of security when people come home, suggesting the dominance people have over their private space, elevating their dignity and subjectivity.
Sensor lights in hallways add a touch of rhythm to the building while saving energy. Simulated moonlights are placed around the landscaping, the swaying shadows of flowers and trees creates a lively atmosphere, connects people better with nature and provides people with a refreshing experience as they commute.
The exceptionally high parking lot is designed to accommodate buses passing by. Lighting design accentuates its spacious feature. Being glorious and well-lit, the parking lot has become a popular spot for social media photos – a testament to the center’s success in creating a vibrant community.
At its core, a society is about people. The Fuyuan Neighborhood Center stands as a model for community service, demonstrating care for every detail in residents’ lives. Its success serves as a beacon, symbolizing the potential for a new era in community service throughout China.
