URBAN PLANNING
EXHIBITION CENTER
PLAYZE
It is located at the heart of the newly built “Ningbo Eastern New
Town” adjacent to the city hall and the civic square. The Ningbo
Urban Planning Exhibition Center is supposed to be more than just
a simple presentation space. The goal was to create an engaging,
accessible public space in the new district, and thereby foster the
dialogue between citizens and decision-makers.
To emphasize the role of the center as a public venue, it has
been developed as a continuation of the surrounding waterfront
landscape and is, therefore, an integral part of the public park.
Connecting pathways, bridges and streets have been woven into
a topography leading to the many entrances of the building. The
boundary between the park and the building has been blurred.
