Guangzhou Julong Bay is an exhibition center created inside four brick warehouses built in the 1950s on the west bank of the Pearl River. The former granary buildings keep their original structure and materials, while customized handmade clay bricks complete the new parts. A large-span steel frame and a sloping glass curtain wall form a canopy above the parallel barns, joining them into one flexible interior of 5000 square meters. The steel structure extends to the ground on both sides to form a corridor open to the riverside landscape and the existing plants.
