With the magnificent exhibition space in the Jiuxi Wedding Exhibition Centre, the architects have elevated the concept of ‘wedding’ to the highest possible aesthetic level for the 21st century.

Jury Text: Exciting here is the superb interplay between minimalism and opulence, as well as the idea of integrating the most legendary romantic scenes of all time into the ultra-modern interior. Exhibiting wedding dresses as if they were on a fashion runway is also a lovely idea. This is a superb design that addresses a subject – one that all too often is dealt with in an offhand way – in a challenging, thoughtful and modern fashion from every standpoint, without the usual clichés.
