Located on the north side of Moyang Lake Park in Yangjiang City, the comprehensive cultural center enjoys a beautiful environment and wide view. The project integrates 7 independent operating institutions and functions such as the Archives Center, the Party History Museum, the Local Records Museum, Hall of Fame, museum, planning hall and the Workers' Cultural Palace around the shared atrium, forming a composite cultural complex. This can bring rich space experience to the public, and the centralized service management can also shorten the flowline, save land, surface area and air conditioning energy consumption, reduce the waste of public supporting resources, and create a new model of intensive construction of cultural comprehensive buildings for medium-sized cities in China.

The podium extends to the Moyang Lake Park, on which a gentle grassy slope is set, and functions such as cafe, bookbar and recreational activities are integrated. The green platform that becomes part of the park can carry a variety of activity types, connect the people and activities of the overall landscape, transform the building from a closed traditional cultural building into an activity place open to the community at ordinary times, and stimulate the vitality of the new urban area. In addition, the roof with green plants is open to the public free of charge during the opening hours of the venue, and people can reach the roof garden through the arc-shaped staircase in the atrium.

The building adopts a passive layout conducive to ventilation and cooling. In summer, the southward sea breeze can cool the lake surface, bring cool and refreshing air to the building and reduce the ambient temperature inside and outside the cultural center. The building is designed with ventilated atrium, leading wind openings and facade windows, in this way, natural ventilation can be used during the spring and autumn transition to significantly reduce operational energy consumption.

The subtle planar shape and contour control of the facade of the cultural center allow users to experience different shapes with different orientations and undulating contours as they walk around the building. The vertical sunshade pottery rod for the facade is a major and difficult point in the design. Architects create a large composite pottery rod sunshade system with an original patent. Combined with the simulation calculation of the sunlight exposure angle and radiation intensity of the facades in all directions of the building, the project adopts parametric positioning control to make the pottery rod form different angles and height changes on the facades, so as to achieve the best sunshade, heat insulation and lighting effects in all directions. Combined with the bright and spacious circular atrium, the interior of the building integrates service functions of different attributes and spatial scales, such as exhibition, multi-function hall, collection storage, archives and office rooms, staff service ancillary facilities and cultural and sports activities. The clear functional zoning and the dynamic and static and obvious and hidden layout solve the problems of the streamline and lighting of the multifunctional composite space.

The project integrates seven independent operating institutions and arranges them around the shared atrium, forming a composite cultural complex layout of seven halls in one. This can bring rich space experience to the public, and the centralized service management can also shorten the streamline, save land use, energy consumption, reduce the waste of public supporting resources, and create a new model of intensive construction of cultural comprehensive buildings for small cities in China.
