Text description provided by the architects. The Hamburg architectural practice was the winner in a limited open architectural competition and, in 2010, was commissioned with the design and construction of the Dayuan International Center. Chengdu has the reputation of a „green city“ and is one of the Chinese mega-cities with the best quality of life, which is also based on a culture of public life in the external urban space. The architects’ objective for the design of the building ensemble was to replicate this quality of a pulsating metropolis by offering a multi-faceted arran- gement of spaces and buildings. The human scale and the sequence of attractive public spaces, both in the interior and the exterior, generate an integrational precinct which, with its own identity, develops its attrac- tion as a landmark beyond the precinct itself.
