The Exhibition Center of Otog located in Erdos, China sits atop a 40,000m2 site surrounded by a public park. Kuan Wang’s goal for the design was to create a structure that would give back to the people while also blending into the surrounding landscape.

The multifunctional exhibition center situated in the large grasslands of northern China houses four exhibition parts: history, culture, industry, and urban planning. It will serve as a landmark to the city while becoming an integral part of it.

Systems connect to link the four exhibition spaces which ties into the concept of the structure: to fuse multiple parts of the building to blur the separation between interior and exterior. With the shading fins on the façade constantly changing to provide shading from the sun, the edifice appears to be constantly morphing to suit the demands from its surroundings.

Its roof functions as a park with a large stepped topography that becomes both a resting and active place. By designing the roof to be an inhabitable space, the exhibition center continues the landscape of the park to create constant activity on the exterior and interior of the building.

The constant changing of the topological roof comes with angles at which you look at the stone or grassland. Everything is merged. Even the design concept for the main façade which is inspired by the eagle spirit totem prominent in Mongolian culture. The exhibition space becomes a reflection of the functions that it houses: the integration of rich Mongolian history and culture into design and the continuation of the prominent grasslands found in northern China onto the roof.

The goal of the Exhibition Center of Otog is to blend with the surrounding park and to become an integral part of it. The building houses four types of exhibition spaces, linked by the connecting systems. In fact, the idea behind the project is permeability and fusion of the different parts of the building and between interior and exterior. The façade varies due to the shading panels that change their tilt with the position of the sun. The roof is also designed as a continuously changing public square with a system of steps that act as both stairs and park, thanks to the green belt positioned on the edge.

هدف این مرکز نمایشگاهی ترکیب ان با محوطه پارک پیرامون و تبدیل شدن به بخش جدایی ناپذیر ان است. در حقیقت ایده پروژه نفوذپذیری و تلفیق قسمت های مختلف ساختمان، داخلی و خارجی است. نما به دلیل استفاده از پانل های سایه انداز که شیب خود را با موقعیت خورشید تغییر می دهند متغیر است.

بام نیز به کمک کمربند سبز لبه به طور مداوم به عنوان یک میدان عمومی با پله هایی که هم به عنوان پله و هم پارک عمل می کنند در حال تغییر است.
