For example, SOL’s Knowledge & Innovation Community and Dalian Tiandi‧Software Hub is designed to create a multifunction community where people live, learn, work and play while targeting hi-tech corporations and a talented and skilled work force. The group’s Knowledge & Innovation Community (KIC) is inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley and the ambience of the Left Bank of Paris. The company says KIC breaks through the boundaries of traditional business and tech park concepts and holistically combines a college campus, community and science and technology park in a pedestrianoriented, urban milieu. This forms a “knowledge community” where knowledge workers can work, live, play and learn in the middle of 14 institutions of higher learning. KIC showcases the best of attractive contemporary architecture, where “form follows function,” while anchored at the historic Jiangwan Stadium. This Hub, KIC Village and Jiangwan Sports Center area is characterized by low- and mid-rise buildings that create a human-scaled environment. Existing information technology tenants include Oracle, EMC Corporation, Baidu.com, Asia America MultiTechnology Association, and the University of California. SOL is planning with LEED-ND (Neighborhood Development) standards as a framework toward a premier sustainability designed community. The planning and design has carefully considered the existing landform, natural drainage ways, wildlife access corridors and view sheds. In addition, SOL is innovating with water recycling and heat pump systems, including one that uses ocean water. Happy New Year CoreNet Global!!
