The Design

About Ruyi Centro de Exposições

Ruyi é um centro de exposições localizado no Longhu Financial Centre, em Zhengzhou, na China. A forma do edifício inspira-se no Ruyi, um ceptro cerimonial que é um símbolo tradicional de boa sorte na China. Uma estrutura em aço dá origem ao formato curvo do edifício. Toda a fachada é revestida por placas brancas de alumínio. Cada placa é moldada numa curva com um arco diferente, através de cálculos precisos. As placas unem-se para formar uma superfície fluida e aerodinâmica. O edifício ocupa uma área de 1800 metros quadrados e afirma-se como um marco no distrito financeiro.
