KSP Engel und Zimmermann Architekten was awarded first prize for their Tianjin Art Gallery proposal.  The Chinese government has been investing in new cultural buildings in an effort to battle the economic crisis by creating this new form of investment plan.  The 33,000m2 art gallery will be one component in the city’s 90 ha cultural and leisure quarter, which will also include an opera house and other recreational centers.
