Guangzhou Second Children's Palace

Guangzhou Second Children's Palace is an educational facility spanning 29,000 square meters with five above-ground levels and one basement floor connected by elevated walkways. The complex includes a 450-seat theater and spaces for arts, science, technology, and sports activities.

This facility was inspired by Soviet Union Pioneer Palaces from the 1930s and adapted to serve Chinese children with extracurricular education programs. The concept evolved into a local institution supporting after-school learning and activities.

The building reflects local architectural traditions while serving as a community space where families gather for arts, science, and sports activities. It functions as a center for children to explore their interests through regular programs and classes.

The facility is accessible through multiple entrances with activities distributed across five floors and the basement, making it easy to explore different areas. The elevated corridors provide clear navigation between connected sections and help visitors find what they need.

The exterior features flowing geometric shapes and multicolored surfaces that shift in appearance depending on the viewing angle and time of day. This dynamic visual design makes the building itself an engaging experience as visitors approach from different directions.
