  Within Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou Children’s Activity Center is the symbolic gateway marking the entrance to the culturally grounded, yet contemporary, metropolitan center. The curved façade creates a functional, yet welcoming, entrance to the plaza, juxtaposed with the linear layout of the classroom block that reflects the grid of the city. These elements are elegantly linked by a conical glass entry lobby that anchors the two wings, and serves as a recognizable landmark within the city. Within the cone, an elegant circular steel staircase ascends seven-stories, suggesting a connection to the sky. The center’s unique arrangement of building components provides maximum exposure to natural light and ventilation, minimizing overall energy demands. External HVAC systems are cleverly integrated behind woven metal fabric that softens the building structure, while providing sun shading for the curtain wall system. Utilizing a design principle based on discovery, designers enhance building characters to play on the inquisitive nature of children. Semitransparent screens create mystery, while glowing transparent columns invoke images of secrecy and creativity. Enticing volumes, shapes and recesses filled with light and color promote exploration and an active environment that stimulates imagination and a yearning for knowledge.
