Entry Description

The NTS Industrial Visitor Centre, located within the New Tianjin Steel production base, features a recessed, curved dark glass façade encased in a white rectangular shell. This design symbolizes the resilience and dynamism of steel, enhancing energy efficiency by reducing heat gain in summer and inviting sunlight in winter. The curtain wall blurs the boundary between indoor and outdoor, creating seamless spatial flow. A semi-open courtyard with staggered white columns and a circular skylight symbolizes ecological harmony, reflecting the steel industry’s commitment to sustainability.
