Construction has concluded on the Grand Canal Gateway Bridge in Hangzhou, a new pedestrian and cyclist crossing by Zaha Hadid Architects. When it opens later this year, the bridge will unite the east and west banks of the Grand Canal, anchoring the 800,000-square-meter Seamless City masterplan and serving as the centerpiece of River Middle Park, an expansive 14.7-hectare public landscape along the water.

The park is situated on a road in the city called Houndsditch and was once part of the old Roman Wall that surrounded the city. The name is alleged to have originated from various sources, either the dumping of waste into the ditch that ran along the outside of the wall, resulting in numerous dogs scavenging for food, or perhaps that kennels for the City hunt used to be located here.

The house occupies an introverted yet exposed plot between the tram line and the garden, located next to the tracks of the Baden railway.

The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, designed by MAD, features 1,500 uniquely molded FRP panels and organic geometries, creating a floating effect above the park.
