AWARD WINNER of the Bengbu Jinping 99 Jiu Jiu Plaza Design Competition.

Located in northern Anhui Province, Bengbu City has a population of approximately 1 million inhabitants. The site leverages its key southeast corner position along the waterfront and future light-rail/ subway nodes by locating a large civic-scale atrium. The atrium is conceived as an “Urban Living Room” of the city where citizens can gather for relaxation and recreation activities while enjoying unobstructed views of Huaihe River and Parks from its elevated platforms. Its core staging area with perimeter commercial activity also allows simultaneous telic and paratelic retail activities to occur. Construction completed in Spring 2020.
