The Panda Pavilions Win the 2020 WAN Awards Gold Award for Future Civic Architecture

On November 18-19, the 2020 WAN Awards (World Architecture News Awards) held an online award ceremony, announcing the final winners of the year. The Panda Pavilions won the Future Projects: Civic, Gold Winner award for Future Civic Architecture.

Jury Comments:

“Set beautifully within the landscape and considerate of the context and scale. Refreshing take on zoo architecture.”

“Sensitively articulated facades. Good use of texture and material.”

“A beautifully designed campus of buildings. They appear to emerge from the land naturally in an organic manner. It's nice to see the designers thought about the pavilions from the visitor's perspective, the panda's ideal habitat and the impact of the project on the environment. I'm curious what the other green-roofed circular structures provide. ”

“Utopic relation with nature and architecture. Save the Panda.”
