Unique architectural design

One of the most distinctive features of the Weiwuying National Art and Culture Center is its unique architectural design inspired by nature. Weiwuying was designed based on the image of a banyan tree, and Banyan Tree Plaza was designed as an open and spacious space where everyone can enjoy art together, just like people gathering under a tree. The building’s exterior features soft curves and flowing lines, blending in harmoniously with the surrounding nature. This space functions as an open space where people can move freely, converse, and experience art.
