Drawing inspiration from the unique “Fish Mouth” landform where three rivers meet, the Nanjing Art Center emerges as an architectural marvel in the heart of Nanjing’s upcoming Central Business District.

Designed to be the “living room” of the city, its flowing spaces seamlessly intertwine walls and floors, evoking the serenity of traditional eastern gardens.

The shimmering stainless steel exterior and the harmonious blend of wood and metal inside capture the fusion of technology and optimism. A beacon of modern design, it perfectly mirrors the ambitious spirit of the surrounding urban neighborhoods.
