Prize awarded in competition Changzhou Culture Center, Changzhou, China

The architects  von Gerkan, Marg and Partners (gmp) have been awarded first prize in the international competi- tion to build the Culture Center in the newly created Changzhou city center – competing against KSP – Jürgen Engel Architects, Arata Isozaki and other leading practices. With a total floor area of 365,000 square metres, the building in this city of three million, between Wuxi and Nanjing, is six times the size of the Louvre in Paris. The new building complex includes a number of museums such as an arts museum, a science and technology museum and a library, together with service facilities  supporting the center for culture in the Xinbei district of the city.

The design reflects elements of Changzhou’s southern Chinese culture  and the city’s prominent water features. The building  modules – which cantilever bridge-like in a large arc – consist of six 45 metre-high pavilions which vary significantly inside with their different architectural functions, but form a visual whole from the outside. The space between the art gallery to the east and the science and technology museum to the west forms the public plaza in the center of Changzhou. With its water features and generous landscaping, it provides an inviting  ambi- ance and serves as a meeting  point  in the district.

On the 256,000 square metre basement floor are an underground  car park as well as numerous shop and retail areas which are lit by lightwells and which are directly connected with the cultural facilities.

A water course on the lower level running diagonally through the 100,000 square metre site links all the modules together  and acts as a source of lighting for the restaurants in the basement.

With its material and colour, the façade picks up on the regional building tradition: staggered grey slate creates a solid external impression which is contrasted by the bright surfaces with white elements and transparent glass façades on the inside of the buildings.The Culture  Center will play an important role in shaping the new city center and its development, and it reflects Changzhou’s tradition  carried over into the modern metropolis. The large roof spreads across the six culture  pavil- ions and is used to define the public space for Changzhou’s citizens.
