Yidan Center, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, is an iconic cultural landmark in Shenzhen, China, serving as the international headquarters for the Chen Yidan Foundation and Yidan Prize to promote lifelong learning and educational innovations. The architecture draws inspiration from surrounding mountain canyons and valleys, mimicking natural geological forms to encourage convergence and collaboration in a dynamic hub that reflects Shenzhen's role as a global innovation center. The 165,815 sq. m structure includes terraces, balconies, and a central open "canyon" that blurs boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, with green gardens guiding visitors to a base featuring a large oculus for natural lighting.
