Chengdu Science Fiction Museum opens
Chengdu Science Fiction Museum by ZHA has recently opened its doors to host the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) and the Hugo Awards in China.
The new Chengdu Science Fiction Museum by Zaha Hadid Architects is situated on Jingrong Lake within the Science & Innovation New City of Chengdu’s Pidu District.
Integrating with the natural landscapes along the lakeshore, the museum’s design defines nodes of activity connected by pedestrian routes that extend from the city and adjacent metro station through the surrounding parkland into the heart of the building.
It is creating a journey of discovery that weaves between indoor and outdoor plazas at multiple levels to link the museum’s exhibition galleries, educational facilities, cafes, and other amenities.
