Yida Creation City is an urban exhibition center built as the first project of a science and technology new town base in Zhengzhou, China. The design concept is floating polysilicon, expressed as a simple polyhedron form that refers to the information technology industry. The floating volume is wrapped in a milky white U-shaped glass curtain wall. The first floor holds exhibition and reception space, the second floor a conference and roadshow hall, and the third floor shared offices. The floating volume also links the central park and the civic park into one park system.
