About Ruyi Exhibition Center
Ruyi is an exhibition centre located in the Longhu Financial Centre in Zhengzhou, China. The form of the building is based on Ruyi, a ceremonial sceptre that is a traditional symbol of good fortune in China. A steel structure creates the curved shape of the building. The entire facade is covered with white aluminium plates. Each plate is shaped into a curve with a different arc through precise calculation. The plates are joined to form a streamlined surface.
