Chinese Exhibit Centre, Budapest
A 19th century brick granary, with a 20th century concrete interior frame structure, located in the middle of Budapest’s post-industrial Chinese district, is to be converted into an exhibition space for the representation of China’s culture and economy. In the interior, cut-outs open the originally depressed spaces, transforming them into a contiguous exhibit space. The main addition is a top-level event space replacing the current attic with a red container element, as a consciously obvious symbol of China’s significance in the global supply chains, with the goal of attracting extensive public attention.
