The “Meishan Garden at Expo 2024 Chengdu” has recently been honored with the “International Design Work Award of Sustainable Innovation for Living Environment in 2024 (Gold),” jointly presented by the World Design Organization (WDO) and Germany’s Green Product Award (GPA).

Against the backdrop of sustainable development becoming a shared global endeavor, Meishan Garden reimagines regional dwelling culture through bioclimatic architectural principles. With the most poetic narrative of Western Sichuan horticulture and the most minimalist contemporary all-bamboo construction, it vividly interprets the contemporary low-carbon value of the traditional Linpan ecological settlement, presenting to the world a Chinese solution of “replacing plastic with bamboo.”

Hailed as the most poetically Oriental “urban reception hall” at Expo 2024 Chengdu, the garden has earned high recognition from the international jury for its outstanding design philosophy and profound cultural resonance. It was also featured on the official website of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China as an exemplar of sustainable architecture in China. Meishan Garden not only conveys an Eastern poetic sensibility, but also embodies a deep respect for traditional culture seamlessly integrated with modern design innovation, offering fresh insights and practical references for global sustainable development.

The Gold Award underscores the international community’s strong affirmation of the elegant fusion of Eastern poetry and low-carbon ecology, marking the growing influence and competitiveness of Chinese architectural philosophy and practice on the world stage. The project is also scheduled to be exhibited at the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29), further catalyzing global attention and discourse on sustainable architecture and ecological living, while fostering international cultural exchange and cooperation. The International Council for Research and Innovation in Building and Construction (CIB) also reported on this achievement on its official website.
