Entry Description

Serving as a cutting-edge research hub and a new urban landmark in Chengdu East New District, China Civil Aviation Technological Innovation Center contributes significantly to the urban landscape under the height restrictions with a unique "paper airplane" facade image. The building reduces the high resource and energy consumption typically associated with traditional research buildings by prioritizing passive energy-saving technologies. The elevated ground floors also create shared public spaces that inspire community participation, community bonds, and vibrant urban life.
