Dalian Urban Planning Centre

A public plaza extends from People’s Park, leading into a two-storey piloti space beneath the floating building mass. A central vertical funnel and a continuous circulation loop connect the public to the building’s core, where the city model is prominently displayed. This exhibit symbolises Dalian’s past, present, and future, engaging locals and visitors alike.

The building’s compact design supports efficient workflows and creative collaboration, while exhibition spaces chronologically showcase Dalian’s urban development. Daylight and cross ventilation enhance comfort, creating spaces for interaction, networking, and idea exchange. The centre serves as a hub for urban planning, blending functionality with public accessibility.
