CUTTING-EDGE DESIGN
curved illuminated face gives the light
a rhythmic beauty that enhances the
overall flow of the building.
The entrance to the exhibition centre
cleverly applies a circular waterscape
that echoes with the architectural
form of double helix DNA. Through
the bridge, one can enter the main
entrance formed by the waterscape
and the second-floor cantilevered
structure, whose exaggeration
increases the visual sense of layering.
The reflection in the water fluctuates
with the wind, which echoes with the
building.
The centre aims to return design ideas
to the origin of biopharmaceuticals,
and architecture to human charisma,
thus obtaining life dynamics extending
upward. The beauty of the infinitely
variable curves conceals the building’s
ceiling, which looks as if it is spreading
all the way to the clouds.
