Snap' Description

Marvel at the pinnacle of modern structural engineering and deconstructivist design at the Dalian International Conference Center. Designed by the world-famous Austrian architectural firm Coop Himmelb(l)au (the minds behind BMW Welt), this futuristic steel-and-aluminum landmark mimics the fluid, overlapping dynamics of rising ocean waves. The building's metallic skin reflects the changing light of the harbor, while its interior features a soaring theater space engineered entirely without central support pillars.
