Exhibition Hall

The Chinese press has compared this plan to Ronchamp. In reality the somewhat organic shape was the result of a number of distinctly rational choices. The exhibition hall will accommodate(present) the proposals for the area of Yujiapu District. We have developed a projection system that when standing in front of the tilted facade the mirrored projections seem to float outside, right on top of their intended sites. To minimize energy use for construction of the district, mountains of excavated soil from the city’s foundations begin to grow against the sides of the building. As the district grows so does the exhibition hall.
