Designed by Ping Jiang, FAIA, of Atelier Ping Jiang | EID Arch, a group of four panda pavilions is built to become the research lab to house and study the pandas’ behaviors and activities. It also serves the community for educational and recreational purposes, while attracting millions of panda lovers annually to visit the campus.

Inspired by the natural landscape of Chengdu’s prairies, these panda pavilions are conceived as a fusion of architecture and landscape. The panda pavilions are devoted to fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration as a care center for the giant pandas.

The design is organized around four open-air, circular courtyards which serve as outdoor playground for the bears, while providing continuous connection with nature. Aimed at educating, entertaining, and inspiring a diverse audience from around China and across the world, the panda pavilions will bring a unique cultural experience that blends science, education, art, and entertainment.

The design of the panda pavilions revolves around the integration of human experience, architecture, and environment, and is intended as a convergence of architecture, landscape, and land art. While the project provides a pedestrian-friendly navigation experience for visitors, it prioritizes an animal-friendly environment to minimize the alienation of ecology, promoting biodiversity conservation.
