Jinhua is a small city southwest of Shanghai with an ancient history and a thriving economy based on industry, agriculture and tourism.
In 2002 designer and curator Ai Weiwei invited 16 architects from around the world to design a pavilion for a park on a ribbon of land that stretches over 2 kilometers along the Yiwu River.

Herzog & de Meuron designed the ‘Reading Space’ of the JinHua Architecture Park, a mutant form that can be used as a bench, a platform, etc. The sculpture reminds of a honeycomb labyrinth.
