At the heart of Hangzhou’s “Eastward Expansion” strategy lies Linping Digital Intelligence City, soon to welcome a landmark called “Quantum Cloud.” With a design language that merges the virtual and the real, it sketches a poetic vision of the city of tomorrow.

The project sits on the golden triangle of Wengmeixi’s core district: east of a metro-linked retail complex, north of a future commercial hub, west of a cultural-sports park, and south of a floating water stage. A dual-ground-floor strategy threads all four directions together via a PRT skywalk, allowing the building to grow into the urban fabric like a living organism.

Conceived as a “seed of digital-physical fusion,” its upper half is formed by repeating cubic modules that multiply and evolve, balancing mass and void as naturally as ripening fruit. The lower half dissolves into the surrounding landscape; a central pedestrian passage slices open like a tectonic fissure, letting visitors walk beneath a hovering “cloud” of technology. Inside, a truss-suspended structure carves out soaring, pristine exhibition spaces, while cadmium-telluride thin-film photovoltaic glass wraps the exterior, uniting aesthetics with energy efficiency. A rooftop observatory surveys the city panorama and reserves a low-altitude flight deck—ready for testing drone logistics and aerial mobility.

Quantum Cloud is not a cold technological vessel but a warm rehearsal ground for future life. When construction begins this October, the seamless weave of technology and humanity will finally take tangible form.
