More than just a commercial hub, this exhibition center aspires to be a thriving community center and a must-visit destination. It also prioritizes its environmental responsibility and aims to foster a harmonious relationship with its neighbors. At the heart of the project lies a striking floating roof canopy, which not only creates a visually stunning horizon along the river but also fosters a cooler microclimate around the building. This thoughtful design ensures that the expansive plazas can accommodate year-round indoor and outdoor exhibitions and fairs comfortably.
