Heyuan
The Heyuan New Library is a library located in the center of the Heyuan Cultural Park in Guangdong Province, China. The architectural design is unique in that it is inspired by traditional architecture of the Hakka people, one of the largest cultural groups in China. This location is ideal from a Feng-Shui point of view. The library overlooks the central lake from the foot of a small mountain. The essence of the design is based on a structure of five functional blocks arranged on a sloping terrain, overlooking the lake, connecting land to water.
Heyuan Public Library by Paul Bo Peng was featured as an exceptional example of architectural design by the A' Design Award. Heyuan Public Library was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2018. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a highly prestigious international design recognition program which celebrates excellent design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
