An

urban exhibition hall

marks the past and opens the future imagination

In order to respond to the needs of the city and the site, we insisted on urban revitalization guided by urban design, thinking about the site in an unconventional way, from both professional and emotional perspectives, hoping to evoke people's sense of identity with the city. Starting from the city exhibition hall, we continue the exuberant vitality of the city with innovation.

Stacked boxes, stacks of memories

Space is a box that carries memory. The design concept of the project is "stacked boxes", which expressed the emotion and treasure of life. While carrying the past, it is also full of longing for the future.

The architectural form adopted simple cuboid, which was divided into three boxes, the upper, the middle and the lower, according to the vertical functional requirements. The thick and thin lines, rigid and soft lines, virtual and solid lines walked in the space track, presenting the project with high-quality visual shock effect, and witnessing the stack of Shenyang city’s memory.

Interface aesthetics from point to surface

Quite different from traditional projects, Shenyang Gemdale AI City expressed the architecture aesthetic, and at the same time, it actively penetrated the surrounding people and nature with a more participatory character, and emphasized the wholeness and unity. We paid attention to the integration of the old and the new in the city, emphasizing the public nature of the building, hoping to promote the aesthetic improvement of the urban interface from the point to the surface.

Combined with the overlapping and occlusal movements of the volume, the project presented a visually striking tower in the air, forming a large cantilever facing the main street, and creating an identifiable urban coordinate with a super-scale spatial structure.

Constructing urban space with public attributes

We hope that a variety of activities and events will take place here. Human communication activities will also affect the space and become the core of the vitality of the urban exhibition hall. The exhibition hall should not be a closed space, but an open and diversified "city living room" and the generator of art life.
