Façade planning for the Congress Centre Hangzhou / China / 2011
24
As the new central form of the main administration building of the City of Hangzhou, capital of Zheijing Province, the Congress Centre resembles a large precious stone.
The Zheijang Province is known for its tea producing region. To express the building’s regional characteristics, design of the façade is based on the superimposed configurations of the tea cultivation pathways and the planting nets. As a result, the building is enveloped by a multi-layered fabric, giving it a true architectural plasticity. Seen from a distance, the façade appears like a rigid volume, but dissolves into a network of structures and levels on approach.
