Huangshi City Complex
Facing the endless Daye Lake and backed by the upcoming ecological new city, the Huangshi City Complex aims to become a link between the Daye Lake ecosphere and the modern new city as well as a gateway to the outside world. It provides residents with an urban space that integrates exhibition, entertainment and ecological leisure.
The Huangshi City Integrated City Hall project is located in the new ecological zone of Daye Lake in Huangshi City. The hall is mainly used for exhibition and archive storage, and is the first public building on the development spine of the zone, carrying the development tone of the area.
The project was awarded in December '15 and officially started in April '16, and has been completed in early '18 after two years.
The design concept of Huangshi City Complex is extracted from the Grand Canyon of Mining and Metallurgy. The basic form is twisted towards the future Garden Expo Park, echoing its central main pavilion. The center of the volume is cut down, allowing the planning and archives halls to be separated for independent management and operation, while retaining the integrity of the building.
In this area where the green natural energy is concentrated, a green ecological integrated community with commercial, office, residential and tourist functions is formed.
The design takes into account the environmental characteristics of the site and the surrounding neighborhood, leaving a view corridor of Daye Lake and the ecological new city behind, and forming a "window" in the middle of the building form, so that the public flow can be guided by the step plaza to the public gray space activity plaza in the middle of the building. The gray space plaza will provide the public with space for viewing, gathering, leisure and exhibition activities.
