Please join us for a building tour of Design Society, Shenzhen, designed by Maki and Associates.

Design Society, China’s dedicated design hub is housed within the Sea World Culture and Arts Center (SWCAC), a building designed by Japanese architect Fumihiko Maki, Hon. FAIA.  It includes a new Victoria & Albert Museum gallery — a collaboration between a British museum and a Chinese partner.

Additionally, SWCAC is Maki and Associates’ first completed building in China. Designed in 2011, every aspect of the building was crafted to reflect its function as a premiere public institution, as well as to make a connection between Sea World, Nüwa Coastal Park and the coastline. The 71,000-square-meter building covers six floors and can house multiple exhibitions simultaneously. The fusion of the building’s cultural and commercial program may be observed in the three main plazas positioned along the main axis of the building and it has also been designed to integrate with the surrounding park and waterfront, allowing visitors to walk around and explore freely.
