Luxe Lakes Gateway
Chengdu, China
2008/2011

 

 

The 250,000 sf Expo Center located in Chengdu, China will act as a Gateway to the New Luxe Lakes development – a new town for 100,000 people. Drawing from Chinese culture, Sichuan’s landscape, the site’s agricultural history and the demands of a new city, the Luxe Lakes Expo Center is an internal and external descent of galleries, restaurants, meeting rooms, halls and natural elements that extend from the lake, embrace the existing topography and merge into the hillside, Museum Hill. Abstracting the movement of a dragon, the Expo Center emerges from Museum Hill and snakes his head downwards to meet the lake, with a Performance Hall that opens up onto the lake and a sheer red sandstone wall of café bluffs.
