Floor Area:

515,000 sqm

The Jinan Western Exhibition Center project is located in the heart of Jinan's Western New Town Commercial District, approximately 3 kilometers from Jinan West Railway Station. Upon completion, it will become a prominent landmark at the end of the central axis. The exterior design concept of Phase I draws from the relationship between Jinan's water system and springs. The curved roof design of the main hall is inspired by the elegant dragon stones of Jinan's Wulongtan (Five Dragon Pool). The overall exhibition center conveys a facade resembling the flowing, graceful image of a sailing ship. The Phase II architectural design complements Phase I, continuing the spring water concept, giving the convention center podium the imagery of river pebbles, while the vertical towers are like gushing spring water, crystal clear in the sunlight.

Lighting Design:

"Waterfall" (Tower): Cool white/water blue LEDs illuminate the vertical structure from top to bottom with varying brightness, creating the spectacular sensation of a waterfall rushing down from great heights, making one wonder if this is the Milky Way pouring down from heaven, experiencing the magnificent momentum of the torrential flow.

"Flowing Water" (Exhibition Center): Cool white/water blue LEDs outline the light, floating curves of the exhibition center suspended in the air. Meanwhile, horizontal linear light strips shimmer like sparkling, glistening river waves.
