“I sought to manifest natural aesthetics through the architecture, using ‘emptiness’ to connect the sky,earth, landscape, and the human heart. ”

“The Hengqin Cultural Center is big. It looks big, it
feels big, and it is big. At almost a hundred and fifty
thousand gross square meters, it is one of many
recent buildings that embody China’s ambition to be
not only the world’s largest economy, but also a place
that does sports, entertainment, and culture in a big
way. Standing in the middle of a city that was until less
than two decades ago seabed and representing itself
in abstractions of form, material, and structure that
emphasize both its scale and newness, the Center
is one of the most successful such facilities to have
recently completed.” — Yunchao Xu
