The REN Building is a proposal for a hotel, sports and conference centre for the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. The building is conceived as two buildings merging into one.
The first building, emerging from the water, is devoted to the activities of the body, and houses the sports and water culture centre.
The second building emerging from land, is devoted to the spirit and enlightenment, and houses the conference centre and meeting facilities.
The two buildings meet in a 1000-room hotel, a building for living.
The building becomes the Chinese sign for ‘The People’, and a recognizable landmark for the World Expo in China.
