Shenzhen Civic Center
John M. Y. Lee; Michael Timchula · Shenzhen, China · 2004
Shenzhen Civic Center combines a substantial governmental programme with an expansive, highly visible roof. Its long composition frames a major public setting within the planned central district. The contrast between the broad civic building and the surrounding high-rise skyline gives the project a distinct role in the city's urban image. Visiting: The wavy roof is best seen from Shenzhen's central axis park; the Shenzhen Museum in the building is the public way in.
