Shaoxing International Convention and Exhibition Center incorporates the local cultural characteristics of Shaoxing by integrating traditional symbols such as "water", "textile", "eaves", and "lantern" into the overall architectural design, which makes the historical and cultural essence to take on a new look within the context of a new era, forming an organic urban convention and exhibition complex that comes seamlessly with the Jiangnan water villages.The design of the conference center takes inspiration from the traditional lanterns. Whilst the exterior façade echoes the light and translucent qualities of the textile industry with membrane structures, the interior design incorporates the dynamic movement of "water" to create a simple yet rhythmic spatial effect.
