Lead Designers Dongliang Xu

Entry Description

The Zhongguancun International Innovation Center is a new format of the convention and exhibition industry integrating conferences,exhibitions,and catering services.The building is in a prostrate shape,like a leaf,a butterfly,or a Ray.The logic of lighting design rises from the dancing colorful silk to the light that wraps the earth.The lights are hidden within the metal aluminum louvers on the roof and glow along with the roof's trend. The direction of roof projection is like the flat sweeping light before dusk,as if the building is crawling forward under the light.
There is a shallow pool in front of the building.In the quiet water surface,the illuminated eaves are reflected in the water,creating a picturesque view with the distant mountains.The sunken courtyard of the building has a special charm, with bamboo,a water curtain,and leisure space.
There is a small whirlpool-like square on the building roof. Landscape turf is separated by stone benches, and the back wall is arched. It is a space suitable for people to gather outdoors and is also a light nest at night. The entire green roof imitates a green leaf with veins. Paths lead to the roof, and starlight is dotted on the path. The surrounding roads use courtyard lights to meet functional needs with simple methods.
Looking at the distant mountains with their overlapping peaks is inviting and gives rise to reverie.
