Yilong International Centre
Yilong International Centre is an office complex in Qingdao, China. Two towers are linked by an aerial bridge placed on the top of the lower building. The bridge holds a shared pavilion space and creates a vertical circulation loop between the two towers. Stepped retreat platforms face the landscape, so the building reads like a scattered group of mountains. The towers use concrete frame core tube and frame-shear wall structures, and the bridge uses a multi-truss steel structure. The design links a dense urban area with the nearby mountains and sea.
Yilong International Centre Office by Tengyuan Design has been highlighted as a creative illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Yilong International Centre Office won the Bronze A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2022. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design recognition program which recognizes excellent design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
