EXHIBITION HALL AND VISITOR
CENTER
An sculptural landform that merges
architecture, landscape, and
community
VISION
The vision of this project is to create an exhibition center that
seamlessly blends with the rolling hills of the Asian Games
Park, functioning as both a cultural landmark and an ecological
destination.
Designed
as
a
sculptural,
boomerang-shaped
landform with green roofs and open courtyards, it invites natural
light, ventilation, and community engagement while preserving the
surrounding landscape. Beyond hosting art and interactive exhibits
during the Games, it aims to serve as a lasting green heart for
Hangzhou—supporting year-round cultural events, recreation, and
biodiversity, and fostering a vibrant public life well into the future.
INNOVATION
The exhibition center’s innovative design integrates a boomerangshaped concrete structure into the park’s rolling hills, tucking
museum-quality galleries beneath a 7,060 m² walkable green roof
that absorbs CO2, releases O2, and manages stormwater. Full-height
glass walls provide natural light and ventilation, while a recessed
circular sculpture courtyard brings daylight deep into the interior
from both sides. Inside, sweeping curved walls create a sculptural
backdrop for exhibitions, and an underground parking garage offers
convenient access without disturbing the pedestrian landscape.
SUSTAINABILITY IMPACT
The exhibition center’s 7,060 m² green roof signi昀椀cantly reduces its
carbon footprint, absorbing over 12,600 kg of CO2 and releasing
more than 9,100 kg of O2 annually, while also managing stormwater
through retention and 昀椀ltration. By integrating the building into the
natural landscape, the design minimizes ecological disruption and
offers a walkable green surface for public use. Full-height glass
walls maximize daylight and natural ventilation, reducing energy
demand, while the center’s multi-functional role ensures it remains
an active, sustainable community asset long after the Asian Games.
