About a year ago, we shared one of our favorite Plasma Studio designs with you – an International Horticultural Fair Complex. The project is a large master plan that blends architecture, landscape and circulation into one system using a network of organic paths. Four major buildings and a range of smaller interventions are scattered within the landscape. The studio has shared recent construction photos with us, and more renderings, that we’ll share more with you after the break.
This exposition is the next major event China is hosting after the Beijing Olympics and the Shanghai Expo. In just under a year, Plasma Studio had to design the 37ha complex and being construction. Plasma Studio led a strong team in order to accomplish the project in such a short time frame. The team included GroundLab (Landscape Urbanism), LAUR Studio Beijing and BIAD with additional consultants Arup and John Martin and Partners.
The Expo will open in April 2011 and attract an estimated 200,000 visitors a day. Read more about the project here.

Rubbish equals fortune and fame – these are futuristic times!
Too complicated and not enough complexity.
watching this makes me ashamed to be called an architect. this type of project represents the utter ignorance of the soulless
exactly, soulless
Oh, am always excited when their works get build. Looking forward to see the final product!
terrible. nothing more 2 say
Future comes…:) real professional challenge… Nice site and very impressive building…
It’s kind of funny that the location is not stipulated.
China, crazy, construction, short delay, … seems to be enough.
Here all the projects we have to do are crazy (each of them in their specific ways) and with a short delay. It’s not a surprise here.
The main info it’s being built.
I would be interested to know what was the involvement of Plasma Studio after the DD phase.
