Xi'an Qujiang Art Center
Xi'an Qujiang Art Center is an exhibition hall located in Qujiang New District, Xi'an, China. The building appears to float above a green slope and forms a clear visual marker beside the urban road. Double-layer full glass curtain walls blur the boundary between the interior and the surrounding parks. A suspension structure carries the three exhibition levels, and the suspended columns are reduced to 200 mm in diameter, so the space is almost free of columns. A gentle trail through the urban green belt leads visitors into the site.
Xi'an Qujiang Art Center Exhibition Hall by gad has been recognized as a grand example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Xi'an Qujiang Art Center Exhibition Hall received the Platinum A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2022. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious international design accolade that honors exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
