Jinan stretches west towards the Beijing/Shanghai high speed train station. Part of the neighbourhood programme, a cultural complex comprising three auditoriums. The design intent: to install the 3 auditoriums within 3 independent volumes along the main axis of the district, in the centre of a garden, in front of 3 towers. Local authorities saw in the composition 3 mountains rising above just as many springs the best possible feng shui, and an accurate Chinese portrait of Jinan and the Shandong Region. The project was undertaken fast-track: foundations were poured on completion of the schematic design and construction completed within 20 months.
