RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Selection of the site is a departure from the usual strategy, located in a city center location in a shop front which only offer limited options for how realization of the exhibition center space. Like an inverted triangle, the site for the new building is located near the airport highway at South Third Ring Road in the Zhengzhou New Zone adjacent to a 24-meter high existing building to the north with green park space located to the south, covering an area of less than 1000 m2.
CHALLENGE: The project covers an area less than 1000 m2, the biggest challenge is how to mediate between these two conditions within limited space, combining the features of the site to create a building that can reflect Lamborghini’s corporate spirit and creating a truly exceptional design.
