Nanjing Shangqinhuai International Cultural Exchange Center, adjacent to Shangqinhuai Wetland Park, is composed of an exhibition center, a conference hall and an accessory hotel. Inspired by the rich landscape, the exhibition center is a ring of masonry split into pieces, interpreting the concept of “coexisting with nature; erosion by water”, while the conference center cleverly arranged panels of stone, glass, and aluminum with a modern twist. The design shows off the beauty of Shangqinhuai wetland while bringing forth the energy and vitality of the city.
