Recently, in Wujin, Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, China, a rather massive lotus-shaped building has been erected, covering a total area of approximately 3.5 hectares. It is the "the Lotus Building Lotus Convention and Exhibition Center" created by Australian studio studio505, serving as a cultural landmark for Wujin District in Jiangsu Province as well as a center for various exhibitions and performances. The petal-like steel structure enveloping the main building blooms gracefully and boldly, truly resembling a large-scale installation art piece. It not only beautifies the surrounding scenery but can also be regarded as a perfect combination of modern architectural technology and art.

Besides serving as a landscape beautification feature, this lotus incorporates many modern engineering technologies, presenting breathtaking decorative structures. There are 2,500 geothermal pipelines beneath the artificial lake, turning the entire lake into a giant temperature regulator. Thus, the Lotus Convention and Exhibition Center can utilize the surrounding lake water to help regulate the building’s temperature, meeting the goal of internal energy conservation.
