The Kaizhou New Town Planning Exhibition Hall (Window of Kaizhou) is located within the start-up zone of the Kaizhou new town, It’s an important public space and external display window of the new city.

 

The site is bordered by a lotus pond to the west and a hill to the east, with the People's Drain flowing through the top of the hill. The program combines functional needs to form a basic volume of 20 meters high and 100 meters long. At the same time, a corridor bridge is designed to pass through the building and connect the lotus pond with the hilltop. The center of the building has been opened up to form a large-scale opening to create an outdoor public space. The bridge through the opening creates a connection between the pond and the hill, using the building as a window to appreciate nature.

The west elevation serves as the primary display surface, while avoiding westward exposure to the sun, it’s built with an enclosed stone wall surface. The stone-clad volume is connected to the outdoor terrace by folding steps, outlining a simple, strong and continuous upward path that runs through the entire façade to the roof.

 

As people stroll, walk, climb, and look out, people, architecture, nature, and history are intertwined and become the most vivid urban stage, showcasing the "window to the future" of the new city of Kaizhou.
