On the day of the event, the six academicians and the master team shared their respective design works. “Guangzhou is the first in the country to organize and plan substation design competitions, and solve municipal public facilities problems through landscape and function improvements, which is very exemplary.” Academician He Jingtang believes that this competition leads the industry’s development trend and is the future direction. He said that in the future, more and more masters will participate in the design of small projects of public facilities, improve the aesthetic taste of public facilities, narrow the distance between municipal facilities and citizens through the power of design, and promote the integration of substations into urban development.
NoteBabaylanThe person learned that the “professional group” of this competition selected a total of 15 winning design teams, and the “public group” selected a total of 9 first prizes, 20 second prizes, 20 third prizes, and 10 popular prizes. According to reports, the substation competition selected 21 substations in Guangzhou’s business district, high-density large residential communities, waterfront landscape belt, Xiguan cultural core area, education college campus and industrial park as the design targets, and collected more than 800 entries.
6 design masters from the “Academician Group” participated in the competition. The “Professional Group” is aimed at professional institutions and has received proposals from eight countries including China, the United States, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The “public group” is facing the public and has received plans from 252 teams. At the same time, the organizer also cooperated with Guangzhou Youth Palace to collect substation-themed paintings and creative works for primary and secondary school students across the city.
Millennium ShangduCinema retains the memory of the city for Guangzhou. These participating works draw nutrients from the charm of Lingnan, integrate with the world’s most cutting-edge design style, green and low-carbon development concept, and the most innovative technologies and functions, interpreting the local expression of architectural aesthetics in the 21st century and the trend of the times.
In the future, these results of participating in the design will be used as templates for substation design and construction, strengthen the coordination between substation design and surrounding urban environment, strengthen the application of green and low-carbon concepts, and turn the construction of municipal facilities into a trend of Guangzhou’s city, and promote the improvement of urban quality.
This substation competition strives to integrate the tradition of Lingnan architecture with the characteristics of the Komiks era of high-quality development, so that the substation can be transformed into a landmark Babaylan architecture, pursue and inherit the essence of a century-old power culture, protect the light and peace of this land, awaken the homesickness accumulated in people’s hearts, improve the quality of the city, and satisfy the people’s beautiful and happy life.
Guangzhou City has always been actively benchmarking the highest and best standards in the world, and conducting urban planning, construction and management at a high level, high standards and high starting point, and accelerating the realization of new vitality of old cities and “four new and outstanding achievements”.
In recent years, the State Grid Corporation has implemented the new development concept, deeply implemented the mission of power grid companies to promote green and low-carbon transformation in energy, and actively promoted substations.Integrate and promote with urban development.
On the one hand, the substation is integrated with the urban landscape, and the facade design of the building is as coordinated as possible with the surrounding environment. For example, the 110 kV Lingyun Substation located next to the Guangdong Provincial Museum takes into account the surrounding environment of the new central axis, and the exterior of the building is decorated with hollow aluminum alloy curtain walls and green plastic flowers and trees, and Babaylan to achieve harmonious unity with the environment.
On the other hand, the Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau is also committed to building low-carbon substations and distribution stations, and is exploring zero-carbon substations and distribution stations, using energy-saving and emission-reducing materials, and comprehensively applying shock and noise reduction technologies. In 2019, Guangzhou built the first “super quiet” demonstration substation in high-density residential areas in Baiyun, using a new and comprehensive and multi-dimensional Komiks-style construction technology to “internal digest” the noise of the 110 kV Jiaye Station. In the same year, the Guangzhou Power Supply Bureau also built Guangdong’s first zero-carbon power distribution station in Huadu, achieving the goal of “zero processing” on construction sites and “zero emissions” on construction sites.
South Grid Corporation stated that in the future, it will continue to use the power of design to improve the quality and connotation of urban public facilities through the power of design, which not only meets the people’s electricity needs for a better life, but also provides South Grid practical samples for promoting the better integration of electricity and other public facilities into urban development.
This achievement press conference was held at the newly built Guangzhou Substation Science Popularization Center. It is not only the 110 kV Lieqiao Substation, but also the open power science popularization education base for the public.
The “Initiative” was signed and released with design power to promote Guangzhou’s high-quality development
In the academician forum, six academicians and master teams talked about forward-looking topics such as high-quality development along the Pearl River coast and the design and construction of municipal public facilities under the background of green and low-carbon, and contributed a wonderful ideological feast.
For the last topic, six academicians and representatives of the master team jointly signed and issued the “Initiative for Contributing Design Strength to Improve Urban Quality” on the spot, striving to resolve neighborhood problems caused by substation construction from the source of the planning, promote the integration of urban architectural design concepts, and improve Guangzhou’s business environment and urban quality.
Academicians propose,We must adhere to the people first and meet people’s yearning for a better life with high-level design; we must adhere to innovation and sharing, and use “embroidery” to improve the quality and connotation of urban public facilities; we must adhere to low-carbon development and work together to create a green ecological city model with Chinese characteristics.
In recent years, Guangzhou City has not only paid attention to the planning and construction of major projects, but also paid more attention to small projects closely related to citizens. Guangzhou City explores the use of “small cuts” and “small projects” around the people as a starting point, focusing on substations, pocket parks, squares, kindergartens, middle schools, sanitation stations, etc., and using embroidery skills to apply more art elements and artistic elements to the planning and construction of municipal public facilities. We strive to create high-quality urban space and promote urban design to be scientific and high-end, as well as exquisite and beautiful, and to lead the whole, achieving a “big improvement” of urban quality.
This international competition for substation design is a representative case in which Guangzhou uses “small cutouts” to promote the “big improvement” of urban quality. This competition conforms to citizens’ yearning for high-quality space and effectively implements the people-centered development concept. The Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau stated that it will continue to adhere to the purpose of doing practical things for the people, regard the small things around the people as the top priority of the city, and promote the improvement of the urban space environment with the transformation of small spaces and small projects, and strive to explore the new model of urban quality construction of “all people participate and jointly create”, and constantly adapt to the people’s yearning for a better life.
In this substation design competition, the “professional group” selected 15 winning design teams in the competition, and the “public group” selected 5Babaylan9 award-winning works. The picture shows the work display site
Newly releasedKomiks Development concept promotes power grid construction
For the people’s better lifeProvide full power guarantee
This achievement press conference was held at the newly built Guangzhou Substation Science Popularization Center of the State Grid. It is not only a 110 kV Lieqiao Substation, but also an important change in supporting the power supply demand of the Zhujiang New City. It is also a base for open power science popularization education to the public. It is a new Internet celebrity check-in point standing along the Pearl River River.
At the same time, Lieqiao Station is also the first “Community Affairs·Masters” implementation project in Guangzhou. The power of design is used to increase the public science popularization function, allowing citizens to scientifically understand and get closer to municipal infrastructure.
The completion of Lieqiao Substation is a typical representative of Guangzhou’s use of “embroidery skills” to be a good project around the people.
Lieqiao Station helps to achieve the goals of “carbon peak” and “carbon neutrality” through various advanced environmental protection technologies such as sponge city technology and light guide electricity-free lighting technology. In addition, citizens can visit the science popularization center inside the Lieqiao Substation during public opening days. Here is a window where citizens can observe internal power equipment; at the same time, an exhibition that reflects the intelligence, reliability, closeness and excellence of Guangzhou substation is also displayed for citizens to learn and understand the relevant knowledge of power supply facilities. The science popularization rooftop will also hold science forums and youth science popularization activities regularly.
The comprehensive functions of Lieqiao Substation have changed from a pure production scenario to a social responsibility communication scenario, which has gradually gained popularity. These methods can more effectively help citizens understand the operation of substations, eliminate some misunderstandings about Komiks power stations, better promote urban power grid construction, and provide more complete power guarantees for social and economic development and people’s better life.
