2. Design Description

This project is the dedicated venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Asian Games. According to its functional requirements, the venue should aim to create an environment embodying "harmony, friendship, and gathering." Guided by the Asian Games venue design concept of "Asian culture, Chinese characteristics, Guangdong style, and Guangzhou flair," and combined with the Asian Games philosophy of "green, humanistic, and technological," through lighting design, we primarily reflected the following elements in the interior design of the venue, from small to large scale: Pearl River water, Flower City, Lingnan, China, and Asia.

Following the architectural design concept of a "ship," showcasing Guangzhou's characteristic as the "Flower City," reflecting architectural elements located in Lingnan, expressing the profound culture of classic China, integrating harmonious symbols of Asia, and adopting light sources, thus forming the result of our design proposal.

Through our lighting design work, we strive to provide a gala environment that is "safe and considerate" for VIPs and "relaxed and enjoyable" for the audience, allowing guests to experience a "unique and wonderful" journey in Guangzhou.

The year 2010 that just passed was a significant moment for Guangzhou residents, as the arrival of the 16th Asian Games elevated the city's urban construction to a new level. Our company was honored to be recommended by the Guangzhou Municipal Construction Committee as the design unit for facade renovation of main roads, becoming a main force in Guangzhou's urban renewal. Leveraging over ten years of experience in urban renewal in Guangzhou and Dongguan, we undertook more than fifty Asian Games urban renovation projects, including the architectural facades of the "Lychee Bay" cultural district, the landscape gardens of "Donghao Chong," the Pantang Road specialty food street, the Xiguan characteristic streets on Zhongshan 7th and 8th Roads, the Kangwang Road central commercial street, and the Qilou culture street on Jiefang Road, among others. Additionally, we were urgently commissioned to complete the interior design of the public areas of the "Haixinsha Stands" at the Asian Games opening ceremony venue within an extremely short timeframe, adding brilliance to the Asian Games.
