About Lamborghini Exhibition Center Exhibition Center
Lamborghini Exhibition Center is a car exhibition building completed in 2019 in Zhengzhou, China. The building covers 1030 square meters and holds four main areas: a new car exhibition space, a sales and service shop, a VIP lounge and a management office. The form is shaped by a twisting volume based on 60 degree angles, inspired by the lines of sports cars. A continuous revolving facade uses parallelograms and triangles, integrating the windows into one surface. A visual corridor between the two floors reduces the visual weight of the volume on the small site.

The concept design of the Lamborghini exhibition center is inspired by Lamborghini’s classic vehicle type iteration; The building emphasizes a strong visual and spatial momentum created through the form, a strong, dynamic, twisting volume which is a result of use of 60 degrees angles which draw a strong relation to the surrounding site, creating a completely new type of architectural landmark.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
Selection of the site is a departure from Lamborghini’s usual strategy, located in a city center location in a shop front which only offer limited options for how realization of the exhibition center space. So we made effort to settle this issue and figure it out, we want to make some differences in the limited and special space.
Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
Our design represents the sensation of the site brought by Lamborghini’s handling performance.
