MVRDV Designs Shopping Center with Pearlescent Façade in Beijing
Exterior construction has almost wrapped up on MVRDV?s Chongwenmen M-Cube shopping center in Beijing, featuring a shimmering façade that changes color from grey to pearlescent. The 44,000 square meter center sits in the central Chongwenmen district, just moments from the Forbidden City, and will serve as a centralized hub for retail, cuisine and leisure. The project is set to be completed in summer of this year.
