Happy 54th birthday Faye Wong! (2023)

5 Things You Need to Know About Faye Wong, Asia's Heavenly Queen and Music Superstar

By Tim Ku

Faye Wong, who just celebrated her 54th birthday, has been reclusive since she faded out of her music and film career. Faye Wong is the heavenly queen of Asia and a superstar in the music world. Although she has made brilliant achievements and records many times in her career, she is rarely in the spotlight of the media or even the focus of the public. "Comfortable" is the best description for Faye Wong. On this day of Faye Wong's birthday, let's take a look at 5 things you need to know about Faye Wong.

Faye Wong was also known as Wang Jingwen

It is not an exaggeration to say that Faye Wong is a popular classic legend of a generation. As far as her singing career is concerned, Faye Wong, who was born in Beijing in 1969, has loved singing since she was a child. As a child star, she often participated in various cultural performances. When she was a child, she appeared on CCTV's stage solo many times. In 1987, Faye Wong immigrated to Hong Kong with her father. At first, she worked as a model, and then was recommended by a friend to study pop music under the Hong Kong music educator Dai Sicong, laying the foundation for joining the Hong Kong music scene in the future. In 1989, Faye Wong's singing talent was discovered, and she was signed by the then Cinepoly record company to make her official debut. It was very rare for a Hong Kong company to sign mainland singers back then. In order to cater to the Hong Kong music culture, the company gave her the stage name "Wang Jingwen". The reason is that three-character names are relatively common in Hong Kong, so Faye Wong's early music works were all named after "Wang Jingwen". Faye Wong is also the first Chinese singer to appear on the cover of the Asian edition of Time magazine, to be interviewed by CNN, and to hold a solo concert at Nippon Budokan.

Faye Wong has her own philosophy of life

Faye Wong, who just passed her 54th birthday, has believed in Buddhism many years ago and has turned vegetarian. Most of the outside world's perception of Faye Wong is that Faye Wong has always kept a low profile, cold and introverted. Facing life, I have my own philosophy of life. Although Faye Wong was once in the torrent of the entertainment industry, she always gave people a feeling of being "off the ground". She did not strive for fame and fortune, and did not show her edge too much. She just kept her own personality. Faye Wong once released the "Faye To Face" photobook in 2003. She wrote: "You should neither resist appreciation nor take it to heart. It is best to remain indifferent when encountering slander and treat all evaluations equally. If you get bored, give up, but should not be stung by it; should not stick to the image, no matter what the so-called image has brought. Be natural, don't deliberately be natural; face the world in a trance, face yourself straight. From the bottom of Faye Wong's heart, she faced life with her own set of philosophy in the colorful entertainment industry.

Faye Wong has two daughters, the eldest daughter is singer Dou Jingtong, and the second daughter was born with a cleft lip, which prompted her to set up a charity fund

Faye Wong married mainland rock musician Dou Wei in 1996, and the two gave birth to a daughter, Dou Jingtong, who is now a professional singer. The two divorced in 1999 after a short three-year marriage. Later, Faye Wong married mainland actor Li Yapeng in 2005 and gave birth to her second daughter. However, the second daughter was diagnosed as born with cleft palate. Due to the cleft lip, the couple established the "Smile Angel Fund" to provide assistance for cleft lip babies. Faye Wong later wrote the song "The Laughing Angel" herself. In 2013, Faye Wong and Li Yapeng announced their divorce, and said that the two would continue to raise their daughter together.

Faye Wong is known as the "Queen of Music" in Asia

Faye Wong has officially entered the music scene since the release of her first album "Wang Jingwen" in 1989. In her singing career so far, she has released 20 albums, including 10 Cantonese albums and 10 Mandarin albums. In the 1990s, Faye Wong sang many popular songs, including the cover song "Vulnerable Woman" and became popular all over Hong Kong. In 1994, as a rookie, Faye Wong held 18 concerts in a row at the Hong Kong Coliseum at the end of the year, breaking the record of rookie concerts and firmly occupying the status of the queen of Hong Kong music scene. In 2000, Faye Wong was included in the Guinness World Records, becoming the highest-selling Hong Kong female singer. In Faye Wong's music career, she has sung countless classic songs, among which the most well-known and most successful songs are "I Do" in 1994, "Dream Man" in 1995, and "Ambiguous" in 1996. , It is still widely praised in the pop music world.

Faye Wong's acting skills are recognized by the international industry

Although Faye Wong has not played many roles in movies, Faye Wong has been publicly praised by the famous director Wong Kar Wai many times for her acting skills, calling Faye Wong a "natural actor". Faye Wong's most famous masterpiece since her film career is the 1994 film "Chungking Express" directed by Wong Kar-wai, who played the role of the snack bar clerk "A Fei". She was nominated for the 1995 Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Actress and the 31st Golden Horse Awards Best Actress, and won the Best Actress at the Stockholm Film Festival in the same year. In addition, Faye Wong's role in the 2002 movie "Unparalleled World" was equally brilliant, and she was nominated for Best Actress in the 2003 Hong Kong Film Awards.

Faye Wong was named and praised by Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino

Even the famous Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino, who directed the "Kill Bill" series, once said that Faye Wong's performance in "Chungking Express" "successfully stole everyone's heart". He can no longer hear the classic song "California Dreamin'" [without thinking of Faye], anyone who has watched "Chungking Express" will be moved by Faye Wong's performance. Since its release, "Chungking Express" has been listed as one of the top 100 movies in film history by major international media such as the BBC and "Time" magazine. Faye Wong's brilliant performance is of course indispensable.

On this day, 14 November 1903, striking Chinese furniture makers battled strikebreakers armed with knuckle dusters and sticks on Little Bourke Street in Melbourne, Australia. In September 1903, hundreds of Chinese cabinetmakers in the city had walked out on strike demanding better pay and union rights, and to be given two roast pigs each weighing at least 50 lbs. One of their slogans was: "Do nothing… And do it well." The West Australian newspaper reported that strikers were "adopting such a threatening attitude towards their recent employers that the latter are in constant fear of violence, and are afraid to stir abroad without police protection." Bosses responded by locking out up to 1100 workers and bringing in dozens of Chinese scabs from Sydney to attack the strikers. On November 14, a pitched battle broke out in which the scabs, who according to the Adelaide Advertiser were "wearing Panama hats and smart neckties… and carrying 'crooked' sticks" as well as knuckle dusters which were described as "brutal -looking contrivances, varying from 1 lb to 2 lbs in weight, and most of them had a murderous spike attached". Two strikers, Ah Hong and Fong Yee, were badly injured and hospitalised while at least four attackers were arrested. Dozens more strikebreakers were due to be brought in from Sydney two days later, and one scab told a journalist that they were preparing more knuckle dusters. Meanwhile, the mainstream white union movement failed to support the strike, and instead united with white furniture bosses to expel Chinese workers and reduce competition with white businesses. Despite their isolation, the violence, and arrests of many strikers, the workers held out and eventually in December achieved most of their demands, including the dropping of all charges against strikers.

Zaha Hadid Architects begins construction on four-winged cultural centre in Zhuhai

A roofscape modelled on patterns of migratory birds will shelter the four wings of the Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre that Zaha Hadid Architects is developing in southern China.

The cultural building, which is under construction in the Jinwan District in Zhuhai, will be built within a lake and incorporate a 1,200-seat theatre, a multifunctional 500-seat hall, a science centre and an art museum.

Top image: it will be divided into four wings once complete. Above: the cultural centre will be distinguished by its folded roofscape

According to Zaha Hadid Architects, the goal for the building is for it to become "a hub of contemporary creativity" for the region.

Its site was therefore chosen for its proximity to the new Zhuhai Airport Intercity railway, which connects the city, its airport and Hengqin district to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau and Hong Kong.

The roofscape will be composed of panels made from perforated steel

Once complete, the Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre will measure 170 metres in width and 270 metres in length, from north to south. It will be divided into two large and two small wings, which will become individual venues for the theatre, multifunctional hall, science centre and art museum.

These four venues will be arranged symmetrically around a central plaza, which will serve as a shared, external foyer. This will be accessed by bridges over the surrounding lake to the banks.

Externally, the Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre will be distinguished by its distinctive, folded roof structure, which will be composed of prefabricated, triangular panels made from perforated steel.

According to Zaha Hadid Architects, these panels are modelled on the chevron patterns made by migratory birds flying in formation over southern China.

Perforations in the roof panels will help filter light inside the building and these will vary in size depending on the requirements of the spaces below.

The roof will also overhang each of the four wings, providing solar shading for their facades that will be made of double-insulated glazing.

Inside, the interior design for each of the centre's four wings will be unique, which Zaha Hadid Architects says is to ensure "the most engaging visitor experiences".

It is expected that the theatre and art museum will have a light material palette, while the multifunctional hall and science centre will have darker finishes.

The lake surrounding the centre will be introduced as part of the landscaping for the centre, which has been developed to align with Zhuhai's "sponge city" initiative. Sponge cities are being developed in urban areas throughout China to help mitigate flooding, water pollution and water scarcity.

The artificial lake will help to store excess water, and also incorporate aquatic flora and fauna that will naturally filter contaminants.

The building will be positioned on an artificial lake

Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre will be complete with a rooftop piazza, alongside an external amphitheatre on its west side that will be dedicated to outdoor performances and activities.

The building's energy consumption will be monitored and minimised through an "intelligent control" system that will automatically adjust the centre's interior environments, while a waste heat recovery system will help meet the centre's hot water demand sustainably.

Zaha Hadid Architects is the eponymous studio of the late British-Iraqi architect Zaha Hadid, founded in 1979. Today the studio is headed up by Patrik Schumacher.

The Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre is the latest in a string of projects being developed by the studio across China, following the reveal of proposals for a pair of supertall skyscrapers in Shenzhen, the Xi'an International Football Centre stadium in Xi'an and Shanghai's "greenest building".

"Sky"- The Ultimate Presentation of Faye Wong's Ethereal and Clear Voice (2014)

Composer: Yang Minghuang Lyricist: Huang Guilan Singer: Faye Wong Producer: Yang Minghuang Album: Sky Published: 1994 Publishing Company: Decca Interviewee: Huang Guilan / Su Shuye Author: Wang Jingxin

In spring of 1994, Hong Kong's best-selling female singer Faye Wong, whose stage name was Wang Jingwen, came to Taiwan and released her first Mandarin album "Mystery". The music caused a sensation not only because of love songs such as "I'm Willing" and "No Regrets", but Taiwan audiences were most amazed by the fact that these songs could be sung like this!

Faye Wong interpreted the songs with a kind of restrained vocal performance that is light but also rich with an unbridled rendering of emotions. Faye Wong's first Mandarin album only contained three new songs on it because six of the songs were originally her Cantonese songs adapted into Mandarin and there were two versions of the title song "I'm Willing".

In late autumn of that year, a radio advertisement made an announcement: "1994 / Wang Jingwen's sky is about to fully launch". It seemed to signal the arrival of Faye Wong's era. Faye Wong arrived with "Sky" which is a near flawless album that is still regarded as a classic by the entire music industry. In fact, the reason why is very simple: the lyrics are good, the music is beautiful, the songs are well-arranged, and the producer utilized the singer's strengths. In particular, the album's title song "Sky" had a poetic style and mood but without the obscure imagery of typical poems.

Tian Dingfeng, the founder of Seed Music Co., commented: "Faye Wong's unique singing voice was like the sound of nature. She dropped a stunning bombshell on the music industry that had little variety at the time and instantly became a new music trendsetter."

Although Faye Wong continued to seek innovations and breakthroughs on her music journey, many people still miss the Faye Wong of the "Sky" era when she was at her most ethereal and clear. The late producer Yang Minghuang contributed a lot to this. (Yang Minghuang unfortunately passed away in a car accident in 1995). In addition to serving as the album's producer, he also composed two timeless songs: "Sky" and "Chesspiece".

"Mystery" harvested Faye Wong's previous hit songs in Hong Kong, re-arranged them, and filled in Mandarin lyrics. The only new songs created by Taiwanese musicians were "I'm Willing", "A Changing World That’s Turning", and "I Only Want to Keep A Promise to You". While "Sky" was a masterpiece created by Yang Minghuang and Huang Guilan, who assembled Taiwan's top musicians at the time.

The lyricist Huang Guilan said, "The title of the song "Sky" came about one night when a typhoon hit in 1994. After the storm passed at midnight, I stood on the roof of my house and prayed to the sky… " At that time, she was encountering ups and downs in her life. In the midst of extreme gloominess and frustration, she prayed to God: "When I see the sky, I will know that you are there." A week later, she received a piece of music from Yang Minghuang. "The light, alternative and ethereal aura attracted me. The word "sky" immediately came to mind… " She later recalled that the title of this song was given by God.

After discussing the title of this song with Yang Minghuang and receiving his approval, Huang Guilan wrote the lyrics that night. After receiving the score, she found that the song had no chorus and the melody repeated three times, but it was still special and beautiful. "So I wrote the lyrics differently for each melody that repeated three times, gradually expanding them to make the listening experience more rich. The interlude of "Sky" is like a long passage of time, so the last two lines of my lyrics match the feeling of the passage of time. It ends with "I hope… " She also said that "Sky" is a love song, written with love, and also implies a desire for peace: "When will our sky become one...", she hoped that everyone will not be divided.

The next day, when Huang Guilan delivered the lyrics to Yang Minghuang, she said, "Faye Wong will like it." Yang Minghuang flew to Hong Kong with the lyrics of "Sky". Huang Guilan added that in order to make Faye Wong's sound more crystal clear, Yang Minghuang even ordered recording equipment in Hong Kong. "The night Yang Minghuang met Faye Wong in Hong Kong, I prepared in my heart that I might have to change the lyrics at any time because of Faye Wong's pronunciation, but there were no phone calls that entire night." She and Yang Minghuang made a long distance phone call the next day. Yang Minghuang said that Faye Wong had finished recording and also said: "You're right, Faye Wong likes it, and she didn't change a single word."

Huang Guilan recalled, "It felt unbelievable when listening to the song. In my works, usually when I write lyrics, I imagine the perfect enunciation, singing, expression, and emotion of the singer…". She said that for a singer to achieve what she imagined, it is not easy. But Faye Wong actually exceeded her imagination, especially in the last verse: " … the sky is piled with layers of longing… " She felt that it was a kind of luck and happiness to meet a producer with extraordinary and profound production skills and a singer of superb quality to be able to interpret her work.

Huang Guilan said that she and Yang Minghuang came to a consensus that this song should not be the title song because "Sky" does not follow the standard title song model. It was written freely and produced experimentally. "The interlude of "Sky" is extremely long. After the interlude, there are two lines of lyrics and it ends. This is not the standard model of title songs. During a meeting at Decca Records, "Sky" jumped out and was selected as the title song. Yang Minghuang and I felt uneasy. He was the composer and producer, and I was the lyricist and the planning coordinator, so the responsibility was heavy." At that time, Huang Guilan and Yang Minghuang even urged the director of Decca Records not to focus on "Sky", because it was too experimental and risky. "But the vice president said, let's focus on it and let Faye Wong develop a different sky!"

The reviews said that "Sky" was even better than "Mystery" and it has become Faye Wong's most important album.

Interestingly, the titles of all the songs on the album "Sky" are all two characters. They are concise, powerful, and full of imagination. Huang Guilan explained: "For the album "Sky", Yang Minghuang and I split the work. After all the lyricists completed their work, I found it very strange that except for two songs, the titles of all the other songs were two characters. So I suggested that the lyricists of those two songs to change them: "Angel Heart" by Huang Shujun to "Angel" and the title of a four-character song written by Xu Changde to "Reservedness". In addition, Huang Guilan said that the word "sky" felt a bit rigid. After entering the planning stage, whether it was the graphic design of the album or the lyrics on the MV, they all used handwriting to increase its flexibility.

Su Shuye, who served as the production assistant on Faye Wong's "Mystery" and "Sky" albums, recalled working with Yang Minghuang and Faye Wong. "Faye Wong's first Mandarin album "Mystery" had five songs that were taken from her Cantonese albums and rewritten into Mandarin songs. But "Sky" was different. It was a more complete album." She said, after Faye Wong's "Mystery" album was a success, the record company took advantage to pursue "Sky".

Su Shuye said that Faye Wong was very good at singing. She often asked, "Do you need to redo?" "Do you want to try something else?" Yang Minghuang would clearly communicate the direction of the music to Faye Wong and there was no need to overwork her. He just turned on a few tracks for her to sing, she sang for about an hour or two, and they would call it a day.”

Many singers regard Faye Wong as an idol and icon. Yuki Hsu said that when she went to a record store to buy a classical album, "It just so happened that the record store was playing her songs. She had a crew cut on the cover of "Mystery", but she sang love songs, which was very unique, so I bought her cassette. It was really good. She skillfully utilized the special singing techniques of Western female singers and added her unique voice and emotion to her interpretation of the songs, which no one could imitate! When "Sky" came out, I bought it as soon as I could. At that time, there was no female singer with such a personality in Taiwan's music industry, and she sang very sweetly, so of course the songs were superbly chosen."

Lily Lee Li-Fen pointed out that in addition to the lyrics and production on "Sky", the arranger Tu Ying had a great influence, allowing Faye Wong's ethereal, refreshing and outstanding personality to shine.

Over the past 20 years, "Sky" has been nominated or honored with many music awards at home and abroad. It is among the best of the top 100 albums voted on by many professional musicians and listeners. It is also a test record for many audiophiles. Many Chinese and overseas high-definition formats have been released.

Even after 20 years, it still sounds fresh and the more time that goes by, the quality is brought out even more. It is undoubtedly an album that will last forever. ——————————————————————

Pulls Back From One Disputed Border, Makes New Claims on Another…

HONG KONG—China and India began pulling back troops from the site of a deadly border clash, as Beijing opened another front in the region’s territorial disputes with a new claim in nearby Bhutan.

Chinese and Indian troops both started to withdraw from some friction points in disputed areas along the two countries’ Himalayan border, Indian security officials said Monday, following talks between senior diplomats and military commanders to calm tensions.

The troop movements came two days after an Indian newspaper reported a brewing conflict between Beijing and Bhutan over a wildlife sanctuary involving what the Bhutanese government and experts said is a new territorial claim.

Indian national security adviser Ajit Doval and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had a “frank and in-depth exchange of views” over the telephone on Sunday ahead of the troop withdrawals, according to statements the two countries’ foreign ministries released on Monday.

Messrs. Doval and Wang agreed to de-escalate the China-India border situation as quickly as possible and to continue the communication between diplomatic and military officials to ensure the implementation of the agreement, both statements said.

Indian security officials said Monday that Chinese troops were spotted removing tents and structures from the so-called “patrolling point 14” in the Galwan Valley near which soldiers of the two nuclear-armed nations had clashed in a hand-to-hand combat into the night of June 15, leaving 20 Indian soldiers dead.

Both sides had agreed not to take “any unilateral action to alter the status quo,” the Indian government said.

China took a somewhat more forceful tone, emphasizing that it would “continue to vigorously defend its own territorial sovereignty and maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas.”

Indian and Chinese armies have been locked in a bitter standoff at multiple locations in eastern parts of the Ladakh region since early May, when a skirmish broke out in one of the disputed points during patrolling by troops. The region has seen a heavy buildup of troops and artillery by both the sides since then.

Last month’s conflict in the Galwan Valley, a barren stretch of mountains in the northeastern part of Ladakh, marked the first time since 1975 that border clashes between Chinese and Indian troops had resulted in deaths. Indian security officials said there were casualties and injuries on the Chinese side, though Beijing hasn’t confirmed any.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping has been pursuing an increasingly aggressive approach to asserting territorial claims along the country’s periphery. The resulting tensions have raised expectations that India could draw closer to the U.S. and other Asian countries for help in fending off Beijing’s pressure.

Removing troops from volatile border areas is seen as a confidence-building exercise following multiple meetings between the two militaries, including a face-to-face discussion between senior commanders in late June.

“The most important thing for now is that everyone gets to cool down,” said Lin Minwang, deputy director of the Center for South Asian Studies at Fudan University.

In a broad plan, described by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs as “phased and stepwise,” troops of both the countries are to gradually move back from the front line to a so-called buffer zone to keep a safe distance and not see each other eye-to-eye, said one of the Indian security officials. Night patrolling too would be avoided to check further spat and flare-ups, said the official.

China’s latest dispute with Bhutan, an ally of India, adds a new wrinkle to territorial contests in the region—and suggests Beijing still wants to keep pressure on New Delhi.

The conflict arose in early June, when China opposed a grant for a wildlife sanctuary in Sakteng, in eastern Bhutan, during an online meeting of the Global Environment Facility, an international financial organization that funds environmental projects.

Beijing said the wildlife sanctuary is located in disputed areas that are “on the agenda of China-Bhutan boundary talks,” according to the minutes of the meeting.

Bhutan rebutted China’s claim to Sakteng, stating that “at no point during the boundary discussions between Bhutan and China has it featured as a disputed area.”

While China and Bhutan have long disagreed over territorial boundaries along central and western stretches of their mutual border, experts said, the eastern stretch has been free of dispute.

China’s Foreign Ministry, in a statement to The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, said disputes had existed in all three sectors for a long time and called on an unspecified “third party” to “not point fingers,” in an apparent reference to India.

In a statement to the Hindustan Times on Saturday, China’s Foreign Ministry had said that “there are no new disputed areas.”

Bhutan’s embassy in India didn’t directly address the sanctuary issue, saying: “The boundary between Bhutan and China is under negotiation and has not been demarcated.”

The Indian foreign ministry didn’t respond to requests for comments on the situation in Bhutan.

Fudan University’s Mr. Lin said China and Bhutan had basically resolved their border issues 20 years ago. “But they cannot sign a border agreement because India, which wields great influence over Bhutan, doesn’t allow it to sign the treaty with China,” he said.

Making new claims in eastern Bhutan is a low-risk way for Beijing to put added pressure on New Delhi, said Kanti Prasad Bajpai, professor of international relations at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore.

The area, which borders the Indian territory of Arunachal Pradesh—which is also claimed by China—could serve as a bargaining chip for Beijing when negotiating this round of disengagement with Indian troops and to signal to its home audience that China will defend its territorial claims even though it is pulling back troops from one of the disputed areas.

“The Bhutan claim is something the Indians will notice but they won’t necessarily get hot headed over it and immediately send troops to defend the area,” Mr. Bajpai said.

Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre, China

Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre in Guangdong Province

1 Feb 2021

Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre

Design: Zaha Hadid Architects

Location: Jiuzhou Port, Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, China

Construction works are progressing on the site of the Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre. The steel structure of its lattice roof canopy has now been installed over two of the centre’s four cultural venues.

Designed as a hub of contemporary creativity within one of the world’s most dynamic regions, the Zhuhai Jinwan Civic Art Centre is located at the heart of Jinwan district’s Western Ecological New Town where the new Zhuhai Airport Intercity railway provides direct connections with Zhuhai’s city centre, its airport and Hengqin district, as well as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau and Hong Kong via interchanges.

Integrating four distinct cultural institutions for the city: a 1200-seat Grand Theatre; a 500-seat Multifunctional Hall, a Science Centre; and an Art Museum, each venue within the centre incorporates unique characteristics to create the most engaging visitor experiences, yet all are united by a coherent formal and structural logic that spans 170 meters wide from east to west and 270 meters long from north to south.

Arranged symmetrically, the two larger and two smaller venues are connected by a central plaza that serves as a shared external foyer to each of the four cultural institutions. Glazed walls facing this courtyard enable visitors to determine the individuality and character of each venue. The Grand Theatre and Art Museum are very light in their materiality, while the Multifunctional Hall and Science Center have a much darker palette of materials.

Echoing the chevron patterns of migratory birds flying in formation over southern China, the latticed steel canopies over each venue are configured through repetition, symmetry and scale variation; resulting in a composition of related elements that respond to the different functional requirements of each building. Every building-module of the roof is self-supporting and self-stabilising. The repetition of the modules optimises pre-fabrication, pre-assembly and the use of modular construction.

The centre’s distinctive roof structure unites the different venues under a network of reticulated shells soaring above the four buildings. Interconnecting bridges and voids define a vibrant public plaza with views to the centre’s interiors as well as to the surrounding promenades with their cafés, restaurants and educational facilities. The design optimizes natural light in all public areas and enhances connectivity; creating engaging civic spaces for Zhuhai’s residents to enjoy throughout the day and evening.

Ramps invite visitors to the rooftop piazza where footbridges and stairs connect through a central void to each venue; glazed façades provide transparency and welcome the community onto its public plazas beneath the sweeping roof structure. An external amphitheatre on the west side of the centre allows for outdoor performances and activities.

The centre’s landscaping and surrounding lake are designed as integral elemets within Zhuhai’s ‘sponge city’ initiative that targets the natural permeation, storage and re-use of at least 70% of the city’s rainwater; using aquatic flora and fauna to naturally filter contaminants. Humidity and soil-moisture sensors within the landscaping’s irrigation system will control and reduce water consumption.

Optimized for thermal performance, the double-insulated glazing of the building’s envelope is protected by the latticed roof canopy which incorporates perforated aluminium panels to provide external solar shading. The perforations within the panels vary in size to allow differing degrees of sunlight within the centre’s interior spaces in accordance to their programming requirements, solar gain and orientation.

Energy consumption and indoor air quality monitoring systems with intelligent control will automatically adjust the centre’s interior environments for optimal comfort and energy reduction. Waste heat recovery will be used to meet the centre’s hot water demand with water-saving appliances connected to the centre’s water recycling system.

Designed to achieve two stars within China’s Green Building Evaluation Standard, the selection and procurement of the centre’s structural components has prioritized recycled materials.
