The "Digital Space Station in Changsha Intelligent Valley," led and designed by Prof. Wei Chunyu from the HNU School of Architecture and Planning, was awarded the gold medal of ARCASIA Awards for Architecture in Category C (Industrial Buildings) at the annual ARCASIA Forum, which was held in Incheon, South Korea on September 10, 2025.

This marks the second time that Prof. Wei has received this prestigious honor, following his first gold medal for the ARCASIA Awards for Architecture in 2019.

The ARCASIA Awards for Architecture, the highest architectural design honor in Asia, were presented annually. The awards aim to recognize outstanding architectural works by Asian architects, encourage the preservation and inheritance of Asian spirit, promote the improvement of Asia's architectural environment, and enhance the role of architecture and architects in the social, economic, and cultural development in Asian countries. The ARCASIA Awards are regarded as one of the world's six major international architectural awards, alongside the Pritzker Prize, Gold Nugget Awards, Aga Khan Award for Architecture, International Architecture Awards, and Open Architecture Prize.

Located in Changsha's Xiangjiang New Area, the "Digital Space Station in Changsha Intelligent Valley" is the inaugural building of the World Computing · Changsha Intelligent Valley project, with its design work commencing in 2020. The project spans a total area of 12,305 square meters and features a primary structural system of steel-braced frames combined with steel-reinforced concrete core walls. The design was rooted in typological and prototypical diagrammatic language, employing a dichotomous logic of a suspended "floating rock" motif to create a futuristic functional interior space, as well as a semi-open, non-functional sunken plaza.
