Chinese National Convention Center
Located in the Olympic Park, the new congress centre features large exhibition areas, event and reception spaces to host international meetings and summits with heads of state in China.
The exceptional volume and length of this building led Christian de Portzamparc to design a concave curved facade completed by a huge welcoming canopy.
This curvature thus unifies the facade, giving this great architectural object softness and solemnity, a perception of beginning and end.
