Lamborghini Zhengzhou

Lamborghini Exhibition Center is a car exhibition building completed in 2019 in Zhengzhou, China.

The form is shaped by a twisting volume based on 60 degree angles, inspired by the lines of sports cars. A continuous revolving facade uses parallelograms and triangles, integrating the windows into one surface. A visual corridor between the two floors reduces the visual weight of the volume on the small site.

A geothermal heat pump heats the building in winter and cools it in summer, so air conditioning is not required. The rendered base carries a pattern of sport icons.
