CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN
BUILDING DESIGN MIRRORS
MODERN BIOPHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY
Zhengzhou Linkong Biopharmaceutical Park is the largest
innovative and entrepreneurship base for R&D and production
of life science and biotechnology in Henan Province, China.
Its innovation, cutting-edge and unlimited potential for
development are all important factors for designers to consider.
T
he curvilinear passage that one
can roam about serves as the
life axis and connects the north
and the south of the park. The exhibition
centre of elliptical form, whose design
is integrated into the central landscape,
is located in the centre of the axis. Its
well-arranged layering and sense of
quality make it the landmark building that
precedes the construction of the park.
Together with the international
conference centre and incubator centre
in the south, the exhibition centre forms
the main square of the park as
well as forming a sharp
contrast with the

the north. The design concept is that the
circular symbolises freedom while the
square represents preciseness.
The curve modelling, which is spiral and
irregular, endows the exhibition centre
with a quiet power in its soft stretch
and retracting
nature.
