Xuzhou International
Xuzhou International is an academic center interior covering 78000 square meters. The design draws on Han culture, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Maritime Silk Road, and applies local landscape elements, vessel elements and Han cultural elements in a modern form. The guest rooms use natural colors and warm materials. The all-day dining room is a flexible space that combines warm wood tones with natural stone. The banquet center is based on gathering, communication and sharing, and its irregular walls allow flexible layouts. The project was completed in December 2019.
Xuzhou International Academic Center by Yi Shi was identified as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Xuzhou International Academic Center was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2020. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design accolade that rewards superior design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
