The project's site selection is close to the transportation hub of Shenzhen North Railway Station and is located in the core of Shenzhen's emerging development area. The exhibition hall aims to showcase a vision of future urban life while catering to the needs of surrounding civic activities. We aim to seamlessly integrate the building into its natural surroundings, blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, thereby creating an inclusive public space that fosters community engagement.
As a compact structure within the urban core, we have carefully considered how architecture can intervene in this environment and transform it into a dynamic space accessible to all.
In the overall design, a simple square box is suspended on the landscaped terrace, and the building is elevated to utilize the landscape to resolve the elevation difference of the site while enhancing the visibility of the urban image interface. When night falls, this luminous box transforms into an urban stage showcasing activities. The building volume is composed of high and low boxes superimposed, large transparent glass curtain walls spread horizontally along the urban interface, scattered courtyards of varying sizes, and the large horizontally suspended metal roof is integrated into a rich space sequence.
From the perspective of the urban interface, extensive glass curtain walls and floating metal roofs extend horizontally over mirrored water platforms where waterscapes intertwine with architecture—creating a visual effect akin to buildings suspended on water surfaces. The approximately 5-meter-high metal roof provides ample outdoor shelter space while employing seamless ribless glass facades strengthens integration between volume and space—completely merging internal and external realms. The building conveys a friendly signal to the neighborhood and passes people with an open attitude, inviting them to participate in the exhibition atmosphere.
