A massive red-and-white ring anchors the Oppo Chang An R&D Center in Dongguan, China, as seen from 500 feet above. The complex serves as an expression of modern architectural aesthetics and as a connector for surrounding traffic and pedestrian flow. The movement of vehicles and people in and around the ring weaves a dynamic thread of urban life within this geometric city space.
