Addressing the budding concept of intellectual property in China, KUAN Architects has revealed their proposal for the Intellectual Property Office Headquarters at the Beijing TBD.

The design is inspired by the Chinese painting scroll. Human activities activate the architecture just like ink adds life to a Chinese painting, and the whole complex unrolls like unrolling a scroll of painting. Annexed low-rises house all service spaces connected to the office buildings. They are horizontal and their roofs are continuations of the central park, emphasizing the movement of unrolling and offering relaxing conversation spaces for staff.
