The new Shanghai-Pudong exhibition centre strikes the observer by the clarity and efficiency of its architectural and structural design concept. The uncompromising realisation of the principles of lightweight construction results in large light-flooded spaces which provide very large unobstructed floor areas. The first phase of construction provides four exhibition halls and an entrance hall.
