More images and architects’ description after the break.

Guzhen is traditionally known for lighting design and the exhibition center will mainly be used to showcase manufacturers of this discipline. The large interior space is divided into a functional floor grid, while the roof playfully delineates towards a more dynamic organization. During the night, the roof illuminates into several color shades showcasing the tradition of Guzhen light industry.
