Harbin Vanke AUPUP

Exhibition and conference hall

Crystal of Light was first used as a cluster of exhibition pavilions of Harbin Vanke Future Smart City. It is set to become a convention center open to the public, a venue for exhibitions and commercial events, representative of the smart future of city life in Harbin. The future is expressed through a feeling of weightlessness, using the tactility of fine gauze. The architects lifted the programmatic boxes to create floating cubes of breathing crystallized façade made of folding aluminum panels with perforations.
