This design focuses on presenting a dual-marketing experience center engaged in industry, business, office, residence and hotel among other aspects. Besides, it will serve as municipal urban exhibition hall, community-oriented government service center, urban garden community art center and so on. For these reasons, there should be a subtle balance between grand vision, futuristic space and design individuality because it lies at the core of designing process.
The entire building looks like a sparkling diamond just discovered or a bright, ethereal wing. But when it comes to interior design, all our effort is to divide the space into different zones strictly and adapt those zones to various needs for the space.
One building pokes into the azure sky while another gets half-embedded into the earth. One building is folded and turned while another is rolled and lapped.
First, the exterior facades and the interior spaces blend into each other without showing any sign of unnatural design or fabrication. Second, various spaces interactive with light are used to the greatest extent possible for the sake of sharing, opening, and interaction with humans. In this way, we can see some spatial energy is rolling to and fro above the exhibition hall. This light keeps changing all the time and is as ephemeral as time.--Steven Holl) Oh, I believe we’ve made it!
When I saw Arnaldo Pomodoro's Sphere sculpture at the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, I was shocked profoundly by his futuristic imagination 40 years ago. So, we place such a sculpture within a space of straight lines to create a surreal realm to interact with this great artist.
We build a large installation named “Aurora Polaris” as inspired by iconic sci-fi writer Liu Cixin’s short story “Sea of Dreams”. This cryogenic work of art is created on a cosmic scale using many pieces of acrylic. So, you can imagine how transparent and ethereal it is. Wow, it’s an epitome of sparkling beauty and ultimate mystery!
At the end of this essay, I want to quote Steven Holl’s words, “Architecture consists in building luminous spaces to inspire and the greatest function of it is to deeply move us.”
