Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Arts Centre

Firm LocationLondon, United Kingdom

Project locationZhuhai, China

CompanyZaha Hadid Architects

ClientZhuhai Huajin Development and Construction

The centre at the heart of Zhuhai’s Jinwan district integrates a Performing Arts Centre, Science Centre and Art Museum; sheltered by latticed steel canopies configured through repetition, symmetry and scale variation. This repetition optimised pre-fabrication, pre-assembly and modular construction. The centre’s landscaping and lake are integral elements of Zhuhai’s ‘sponge city’ initiative that targets the natural permeation, storage and re-use of 70% of the city’s rainwater. The double-insulated glazing of the building’s envelope is optimized for thermal performance.
