Features: "Design of Shenzhen Civic Center and Civic Plaza" is a large-scale engineering project completed by the American firm of Lee Mingyi/Tingchoule Architects in 2002. It was developed based on the municipal hall concept proposed in the 1996 urban design preferred plan for the core area of the central district, after multiple rounds of design and deliberation. The project includes government offices, NPC offices, ceremonial events, civic activities, assembly halls, museums, archives, and industrial exhibition halls. This project is not only Shenzhen's future administrative center but also a true civic center. The building and the civic plaza in front of it are the climax and focal point of the central axis of the entire central district.
