Jianyang Donglai Impression Culture Center

Jianyang Donglai Impression Culture Center is a significant architectural and cultural complex located in Jianyang City, Sichuan Province, China, encompassing approximately 198,000 square meters of construction area across 450 mu of land. Designed by Peng Xiaohua and completed in May 2022, this multifaceted cultural destination seamlessly integrates traditional Shu culture with contemporary architectural innovation. The center comprises multiple specialized spaces including cultural halls, art galleries, and museums, each thoughtfully designed to reflect local heritage and cultural elements. The architectural design draws inspiration from traditional Chinese motifs such as folding fans, embroidery patterns, and stone textures, creating a harmonious dialogue between historical context and modern functionality. The facility employs advanced technological solutions, including hollow LOW-EB glass with varying thicknesses for optimal sound insulation and energy efficiency, while the multi-functional hall features sophisticated acoustic engineering through strategic placement of reflectors and sound-speakers. The cultural center represents a significant achievement in spatial design, earning recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, acknowledging its innovative approach to cultural space creation. The project successfully creates an urban living room that serves as a three-dimensional landmark, offering citizens a dynamic environment where nature and culture converge, featuring progressive exhibition spaces that generate contemporary art culture through thoughtful material composition.
