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 EcologicalNew Town where the new Zhuhai Airport Intercity railway provides direct connections with Zhuhai’s city center, its airport and Hengqindistrict, as well as Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Macau and Hong Kong via interchanges.

The center'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 center's interiors as well as to the surrounding promenades with their cafés, restaurants and educational facilities.
