en.Wedoany.com Reported - RSHP has completed the Zhengzhou Huazhong International Convention and Exhibition Center, a large-scale convention center complex covering approximately 700,000 square meters—larger than 64 standard football fields. The project includes 16 independent exhibition halls arranged along a central corridor, along with a convention center and a hotel with 275 guest rooms, all connected by a 1.7-kilometer-long skybridge.

The project was announced in August 2024. According to RSHP, the construction schedule was "extremely tight," leading to the adoption of modular construction methods, with extensive steel structures welded on-site. The design was inspired by local landscapes such as the Yellow River Basin and Songshan Mountain, resulting in a series of undulating cantilevered roofs. The exhibition halls feature a cantilevered wing-shaped arch roof structural system, where these roofs intersect along a central spine to form a continuous "mega-arch" structure, thereby minimizing ground contact points.

RSHP Director Richard Paul stated that given the project's massive scale and limited timeline, the design emphasized modularity, standardization, and the use of cutting-edge technology, ultimately creating a series of unique, efficient, and delightful buildings.

The Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone (ZAEZ) Administrative Committee described the scheme as a "truly exceptional and unique architectural solution," believing it perfectly responded to the demanding requirements, and noted that the design team demonstrated vision, precision, and sincere attention at every stage from sketch to final delivery.

Henan Airport Construction and Development Co., Ltd. added that the imagination of the RSHP design team gave birth to a dynamic, stylish, and futuristic next-generation convention center, whose steel structure exudes an elegant lightness, providing an immersive spatial experience, and hailed it as a miracle in the history of Central China's exhibitions. The company also mentioned that thousands of construction workers worked day and night to bring the project to reality.
