Call for Entries: International Competition for Schematic Design of Shenzhen Reform and Opening-up Exhibition Hall
Shenzhen Reform and Opening-up Exhibition Hall is now open for pre-qualification application. Design teams from home and abroad are welcomed to participate in this competition.
I. Project Overview
Shenzhen is born, develops itself and becomes powerful as a result of reform and opening-up. The construction of a reform and opening-up exhibition hall in Shenzhen is of great significance for fully demonstrating and publicizing the great achievements of reform and opening-up, remembering this historical decision, great memory and valuable experience, and continuing to show our resolution and confidence in reform and opening-up.
Shenzhen Reform and Opening-up Exhibition Hall (hereinafter referred to as the “Reform Hall”), as one of the “Ten Major Cultural Facilities in the New Era” of Shenzhen City, will be built into a world-class large comprehensive modern exhibition hall with Chinese characteristics and become a reform and opening-up research institution, a popular science education center, a landmark building to showcase Shenzhen as a modern, international, innovative city, and an important window to display Shenzhen’s public culture and urban civilization image.
The project is located in the core area of Shenzhen City—Xiangmihu Area, Futian District, adjacent to Shennan Boulevard, the most important trunk road of Shenzhen. Xiangmihu Area will be developed into an “international exchange center and new financial center” under the framework of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, with the “mountain-sea sight corridor” as the main planning concept. The Reform Hall at the center of the said mountain-sea sight corridor forms an important public building group on the mountain-sea sight corridor of Xiangmihu adjacent to Shennan Boulevard together with the International Performance Center and Shenzhen Finance Culture Center separately on the east side and west side of the mountain-sea sight corridor. The three projects will have collaborative design and concurrent construction.
