Studio's Project The Panda Pavilions Invited to the 8th Wuhan Design Biennale

The 8th Wuhan Design Biennale, themed "Boundless Creativity, Integrated Sharing," was held last month. As the Gold Prize winner of the 2025 ARCASIA (Architects Regional Council Asia) Awards for Architecture, The Panda Pavilions by our studio was invited to participate. Hosted by the Wuhan Municipal People's Government and guided by the UNESCO National Commission, the exhibition was held simultaneously at the main venue in Wuhan International Expo Center, the sub-venue in Chenhu International Town, and various creative communities and demonstration parks across the city, offering audiences a cross-disciplinary and international design experience.

The Panda Pavilions focuse on animal welfare and environmentally conscious design strategies. It has garnered over 20 domestic and international accolades, including the AIA Design Award, the WAN Gold Award, the Fast Company Innovation by Design Award, the LEAF Award, and the Canadian Architect Award of Excellence. It has also received extensive coverage and attention from renowned global media outlets such as CCTV, CNN (USA), The Architectural Review (UK), Wallpaper, Domus, Architectural Digest China (AD), and IDEAT.

As one of the featured projects in the "Frontiers in Architecture and Planning" exhibition zone, the presentation not only demonstrates how design empowers urban renewal, industrial upgrading, and cultural export but also uses Wuhan as a hub to build an open platform for East-West design dialogue. It aims to propel Chinese design concepts onto the global stage, offering a Chinese approach to global sustainable development.
