DESIGN FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EXHIBITION CENTRE IN THE CITY OF WUXI

The competition sets the challenge of putting a quantitively large and functionally differentiated room programme in relation to a developing landscape and urban space. We think that this task can only be addressed with a quality to be planned in design, elaboration and execution: with memorable architecture, also formative in the positive sense.   

The idea for the first design stems from the area of interplay between a soft modelled landscape on the one hand and an urban space developing towards the east. This enables a form-finding process to take place by means of an animated roof landscape. In order to strengthen the perception and significance of the exhibition centre in the urban space of Wuxi, this will be in addition raised to the level of +4.5m.
