Beijing New Vision Exhibition and Convention Center
Unknown location - Beijing
Current status: Approved or Under construction
The design of the Beijing New Vision Exhibition and Convention Center is based on a simple diagram and a clear geometry, resulting in a building that will serve as an inspiring symbol for the city of Beijing. In essence, the building itself is a vast lantern overlooking the city, glowing from within and inviting attention and visitors.
The facades of the complex can be illuminated in a limitless array of colors, enabling the glowing lantern-like elevations to change with every event. At the heart of the complex, a new public concourse connects the center with an adjacent pedestrian walkway and is protected from the elements by a series of immense glazed lanterns that hover overhead.
The building organizes convention and exhibition activities into two separate yet strongly related elements. The primary face, overlooking the plaza, is made up of retail, showroom and meeting components. Convention spaces overlook both the plaza and the public concourse, which separates the convention complex from the exhibition space.
Two levels of exhibition space are provided south of the concourse. Upper halls are column-free; ten to twelve sub-halls can be configured in a range of sizes. Ground-level halls are configured on an expansive 27m x 27m structural grid, which provides for a flexible booth arrangement while maximizing structural efficiency. Varied elevations for prefunction, exhibition, and loading spaces mitigate the impact of this vast complex on the surrounding neighborhood.
The design of the facility incorporates a range of sustainable principles and provides an ideal and flexible configuration for expansion. Despite its technological innovations, the facility is in fact a very simple building, composed of local materials, repetitive structural and interior elements, effective long-span structural systems and efficient building systems.

Friendship Store to be Replaced
The Friendship Store, long known to tourists and politicos alike, will be demolished and replaced with a shiny new development. Whether or not the store will be reincarnated in the new development remains to be seen. To be honest, I recall going in this place and finding it not worth the money nor the hassle of shopping there. It will be interesting to see if this relic of earlier times will survive in any form.

This kind of looks like a juiced up version of the Shaw Center for the Arts in Baton Rouge?
