The painting style of supremacy is integrated in the construction of the building to break the shackles of traditional composition, and directly applying the transformation of art from three-dimensional geometry to planar geometry to architectural design. This is undoubtedly an exploration full of unknown coefficients. Due to the adventure and possibility contained in the unfamiliar realm itself, it indicates that such a bold pioneering journey will be extremely challenging and fascinating. The project is located in Nanjing, Jiangsu, on the south side of Qixia District, and the surrounding area is mostly undeveloped land. Matrix decided to introduce the supremacy of the Russian painter Malevich into the project after a lot of competitive product analysis and style considerations to firstly "break" and then "stand", to present things that transcend all art, including the past and the future. The space is centered on reflecting the artistry and sense of the future to build an "art city" on top of the stone city leading the vane of future sales. Through the dignified and generous three-layer exterior construction of the exquisite body, the quiet and peaceful outer core is highlighted, and a fascinating art treasure house that breaks the rules is created inward. The plastic space volume completely releases the artistic confinement and achieves the dynamic balance of architectural functionality and aesthetics through the meticulous layout of architectural techniques such as cutting, turning, and continuation. Love light and chase light, this is the eternal law in the three-dimensional spatial relationship. Incorporating bright details into the overall layout of black and gray to enhance the visual field of the space. This is the existential aesthetics of open skylights. The senses, touches and perceptions composed of rocks, metals, light, and crystals moisten things silently in the majestic atmosphere of the welcome area. The black gold theme is as basic tone, the plane and the three-dimensional lines are overlapping and staggered. In the high bank and deep valley of the elevated space, it is like a flying stone completely natural. The deep art staircase builds a connecting passage between the first and second floors. The blue light in the space overflows the upper and lower passages, deliberately weakening the functional attributes of the building, leading to a wonderful sense of mystery which makes people eager to try. Posture and body are an indispensable form of nonverbal communication constructed the inner meaning of space. The negotiation area interprets different scenes under different rhythms in the artistic expression of graphics, lines, light and shadow, as if quietly floating on a deep lake, floating without sticking, and flowing out of its elegant side. The complex geometric concept is transformed into a beautiful fluid shape, and the classic style is re-created on furniture which is elegant and avant-garde. The literary expression of synaesthesia aggregates the occurrence and characterization of functional organs. Twisting and transforming, overlapping and combining, the use of terrazzo embedded with jade guides the combination of light and shadow, swaying and shining.
