The Fulong Four Seasons Reception Center, China

GroupGSA has just won a bidding competition for the prestigious Fulong Exhibition Center project. The Exhibition Centre is located in Chongli, China which will host the 2022 Winter Olympics.
The Fulong Four Season Reception and Exhibition Centre will be used as an information center recording the history and culture of Chongli, as well as serving as an information center point for the activities happening at the Four-Season Town Ski Resort during the 2022 Winter Olympics.
The 4,610 square-meter project will be located at the main entrance of the resort with a dynamic shape to enhance the connection with the surrounding mountain slopes and ski tracks. It will offer visitors panoramic views of the site and the surrounding landscapes through different levels.

The design draws on a contrast between fire and ice, which represents the resort’s two major tourist seasons. The climate in the area quickly changes from hot summers to cold winters, thus this idea was implemented into the design of the façade.
The building has a concrete sandwich panel façade; utilizing recycled construction and innovative technology for energy saving. The building envelope is made of Aluminum panels, which are produced from recycled Material. The exterior glass façade panels also will be manufactured from the recycled glass material.
