FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Celebrates Opening of Spring City 66 the Design Reconnects Kunming's Pedestrian Pathways As It Nods
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: KPF Celebrates Opening of Spring City 66 The design reconnects Kunming’s pedestrian pathways as it nods to the unique landscape of Yunnan Province. New York, New York – February 21, 2020 – Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPF) recently celebrated the opening of Spring City 66, a mixed-use development in Kunming, China. One of the largest commercial complexes in the city, the 430,000 m2 Spring City 66 is comprised of a retail podium and office tower that are carefully integrating into the surrounding context. Located adjacent to two major pedestrian-friendly boulevards and metro lines, Spring City 66’s accessibility and public amenities weave this high-density, mixed-use destination directly into the urban fabric of Kunming. Design Inspiration The design for Spring City 66 is responds to Yunnan Province’s unique landscape and its location along historic trade routes. A landscaped promenade, reminiscent of the region’s verdant valleys, is central to the project, while the surrounding undulating retail podium and a crag-like tower nod to the nearby Shilin Stone Forest’s notable limestone formations. The project’s varied program weaves along multiple levels of terraces lined with shops and restaurants, creating a vibrant destination for the city. “The KPF design for Spring City 66 illustrates our belief that the most compelling architecture strongly expresses the spirit of its place. Kunming is a city of outdoor life, of vibrant color, and exciting topography. This building reflects that character in the shape of its roofs, and in its facade materials. We worked closely with Hang Lung, as we have previously in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, Hangzhou, and Hong Kong, to weave together varied activities of working, shopping, and dwelling into one urban hive of activity,” notes KPF President and Design Principal James von Klemperer. -
Comparison Between Steel Arch Bridges in China and Japan
Journal of JSCE, Vol. 1, 214-227, 2013 COMPARISON BETWEEN STEEL ARCH BRIDGES IN CHINA AND JAPAN Kangming CHEN1, Shozo NAKAMURA2, Baochun CHEN3, Qingxiong WU3 and Takafumi NISHIKAWA4 1Student Member of JSCE, PhD Candidate, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Eng., Nagasaki University (1-14, Bukyo-machi, Nagasaki 852-8521, Japan) 2Member of JSCE, Professor, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Eng., Nagasaki University (1-14, Bukyo-machi, Nagasaki 852-8521, Japan) E-mail: [email protected] 3Professor, College of Civil Eng., University of Fuzhou (2, Xueyuan Road, Minhou, Fuzhou 350108, China) 4Member of JSCE, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Eng., Nagasaki University (1-14, Bukyo-machi, Nagasaki 852-8521, Japan) A review of the current status and progress of steel arch bridges in China and Japan, as well as an outline of the design vehicle load and design method against global buckling for such bridges, is presented in this paper. The existing steel arch bridges in China and Japan were analyzed in terms of year of completion, main span length, structure type, main arch rib form and construction method. It is shown that the steel arch bridge in China has developed rapidly since 2000, characterized by a long main span, while in Japan it has stepped into a fast-growing period since 1955, with medium and small bridges holding a great majority. As for the main span length, most of the bridges have a span from 100m to 250m in China, while majority of bridges are shorter than 150m in Japan. Over 80% of the bridges in China are through and half-through bridge types, and the arch ribs are hingeless structures. -

China | Equity Strategy China 14 December 2014 EQUITY RESEARCH China The Year of the Ram: Stars Aligned for a Historic Bull Run Key Takeaway The Ram, the Bull and the Heavenly Twins – the stars are now aligned for China’s historic bull-run. China's stock market offers massive untapped potential given the high savings rate and low penetration. “Keeping Growth Steady” is a top priority for 2015; we expect SHCOMP and HSCEI to test 4,050 and 15,420, up 38% and 37% from current levels. As confidence gains momentum, volatility becomes the investors’ best friend. CHINA China Gallops into a Historic Bull Run. On Nov 20, 2013, we wrote “The Year of the Horse will see China unleash its full potential, as President Xi ushers in a new era of profound change.” “We expect capital markets to gradually gain confidence in China’s ability to drive fundamental reforms and expect Chinese stocks to enter a historic multi-year bull run.” Indeed, 2014 has been a remarkable year. As of Dec.12, SHCOMP surged 39% to 2938, breaking a seven-year bearish trend to become the best performing index in the world. China Stock Market: Massive Untapped Potential. According to China Household Finance Survey, property accounted for 66.4% of total Chinese household assets in 2013. Financial assets accounted for a mere 10.1% of household wealth. While over 61% of Chinese families have bank deposits, only 6.5% of them invested in the stock market. Given China’s high savings rate and low stock market penetration, we believe the A-share market offers significant upside potential. -

M A R K E T B E AT KUNMING Office 2020 12-Mo. Rental Level Correction Helps Reduce Overall Vacancy Forecast No new supply was added in 2020 and Kunming’s overall Grade A office stock remained at 864,886 million sq m. Under the dual pressures of the impact of the pandemic and a high vacancy rate, overall average monthly rents fell 6.6% y-o-y to record RMB96.03 per sq m at the end of the year, ¥ 96.03 as tenants took vacant space at the competitive rents on offer. In turn, the vacancy rate dropped 4.44 percentage points y-o-y to 34.72%. Rent (PSM/MO) Property Services and Tenant Quality Enhancements Help Drive Market -6.6% Some landlords invested resources in improving the quality of their property management services and tenant bases in lieu of directly upgrading Rental Growth (YOY) the building hardware, with such properties typically more than five years old. This trend should also promote the general upgrading of Grade A office stock in the city. 34.72% Vacancy Rate Looking ahead, the number of new supply projects due in the near-term is relatively limited, and this will be conducive to lowering the vacancy rate. On the demand side, with no new projects completed this year the overall rental level has basically been adjusted by landlord and tenant market Source: Cushman & Wakefield Research forces, and it is expected to remain stable in the future. The Henglong Plaza project completed in 2019, providing new choices for tenants while also improving the overall quality of Grade A office stock in KUNMING ECONOMIC INDICATORS Kunming. -

Pioneer in DNA Research & Cloning
Name in English: Ray J. Wu Name in Chinese: 吳瑞 Name in Pinyin: Wú Ruì Gender: Male Birth Year: August 14, 1928 – February 10, 2008 Birth Place: Beijing, China Philanthropy: Yes Pioneer in DNA Research & Cloning Profession (s): Scientist, Professor, Biochemist, Bioengineer Education: Bachelor of Science, Chemistry, University of Alabama, 1950; Ph.D, Biochemistry, University of Pennsylvania, 1955 Awards: 2003, Fellow of the American Academy for the Advancement of Science; 2003, Fellow of the Chinese Academy of Engineering; 2002, Frank Annunzio Award in Science and Technology, Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation Contribution (s): In 1970, Dr. Ray J. Wu developed the first method for sequencing DNA and some of the basic tools for DNA cloning at Cornell University where he had been a professor since 1966. His primer-extension strategy was later adopted by Dr. Frederick Sanger in developing a much faster method for sequencing DNA that won Sanger the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1980. The basic research first done by Dr. Wu has formed the basis for the entire world of modern biotechnology and DNA research and engineering. In 1976, Dr. Wu and other scientists spliced genetic material into bacteria, demonstrating that it is possible to introduce an artificial genetic message into living cells. At the time, he predicted that the procedure would one day make it possible to transplant a great range of genetic material. In the 1980s, he began to look at ways to make rice more resistant to insects, drought, salt water and temperature extremes through genetic engineering. His Cornell team successfully introduced transgenic rice with gene splicing applications that could also benefit crops such as corn, wheat, millet, soybeans, and sugar cane.
