Text description provided by the architects. Shenzhen International Low-carbon City Convention and Exhibition Center is located in Longgang District, Shenzhen, China, adjacent to the ecological riparian of the Dingshan River. The three existing venues used to be the place for the first “Shenzhen International Low-Carbon City Forum” in 2013. In December of the same year after the renovation was completed, the “2021 Carbon Peak Carbon Neutral Forum and the 9th Shenzhen International Low-Carbon Forum” were held. The main bodies of the three venues (Low-carbon Exhibition Hall, Low-carbon Conference Hall, and Low-carbon Trading Hall) before transformation were steel frame structures. The venues were huge with monotonous and closed interior spaces. They were unable to meet the requirements of the conference for the organization of conference affairs and the display of low-carbon technology concepts. Under the constraints of the existing conditions, the design strategy of limited intervention is adapted to open the closed external interface, dissolve the huge scale of the venue itself, and connect it with the natural ecological shoreline of Dingshan River by softening and remodeling the site. Taking the Hall of Breathing, the Corridor of Vitality, the Boxes of Ecology, and the Hills of Growth as the overall planning structure, we will create a "low-carbon city" where we can breathe freely, grow naturally in the environment, and truly integrate green into daily life".
