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.
