It is located beside the Citizen Center Station on the Hangzhou Metro's Lines 4 and 7. It houses the Hangzhou Library and Urban Planning Museum. == Design == The Hangzhou Civic Center consists of a central plaza and park surrounded by 6 curved high-rise office towers surrounded by 4 lower rectangular podium buildings housing various public services. The high-rise towers are connected by curving elevated walkways on the 23rd & 24th floors 85 meters (280 ft) above ground level and by underground corridors on the B1 floor. The basic conceit of the design is the traditional Chinese scheme of establishing harmony between a square Earth and the round Heavens (天圆地方, Tiān yuán Dì fāng). The basement area includes shops, storage, parking facilities, and air raid shelters. == References == - [[Professional Practice/Construction Management/Project Management]] - [[Building Construction/Specifications and Detailing]] - [[Digital Architecture/ePractice]] - [[Professional Practice/Ethics and Professional Conduct]] - [[Environmental Design/Building Climatology]] - [[Environmental Design/Strong Foundations for Sustainable Constructions]] - [[History and Theory]] - [[Design/Architectural Design/Universal Design and Accessibility]] - [[Professional Practice/Public & Cultural]] - [[Wiki-Architecture/Buildings and Structures]] === Citations === === Bibliography ===
