aoe has constructed the world’s first Sino-Italian cultural exchange centre in Chengdu, China

Chinese architecture firm aoe has built an art centre dedicated to Sino-Italian cultural exchange close to the city of Chengdu. The unique architectural structure brings together elements borrowed from ancient Roman arenas and contemporary designs formed of circular cutouts, whilst the interiors are dominated by an almost sacred atmosphere thanks to the omnipresence of white, the sheer size of the spaces, the arched openings, the columns and the vast windows which offer spectacular views of the natural surroundings. The architecture is a place in which two opposing poles meet - east and west - each dedicated to their respective cultures and symbolically joined together by two routes, like the two Silk Roads, over land and sea.
