The project is located in Wuhan Optics Valley High-tech Industrial Park, mainly used as a public exhibition hall and shared living room functional space in the park. The buildings surrounding this building are high-rise, homogeneous office spaces, reflecting the requirements for maximum production and maximum efficiency—which is repetitive and uninteresting. Fortunately, the architectural design company gave this exhibition hall a slightly different oval appearance, intending to implant an alien shape in the square box volume group, and its inner space also reached a height of 9 meters.

The design masters a degree: it does not fill all the space functions; Instead, relying on this semi-blank space, it lays a foundation for some uncertain functions behind. With the passage of time, there are more possibilities here in the future, making the space variable and expandable.

Functionally, it is linked to the folded plate staircase on the first and second floors, which becomes a direct expression of the upward mood in this space, and the metal mesh suspended from the top plate expresses the volume of the staircase in three dimensions. In the middle of the second and third floors, a conference function box is implanted, and the clever structure is braced, making the box seem to be suspended in the air. But the second floor is not the end, continue to walk along the cantilevered staircase along the wall to the third floor of the corridor, a section of bridge crossed above the sky.

Between the floor and the floor, it feels like some echo is missing; My negation and negation of the conceptual sketch coincided with a connection - the X-shape of "heaven and earth". Well, give this non-functional X-shape to this space - it is a divine pen, which makes the space move in an instant, and it also becomes a "scale" to measure this empty height.

The new implant, the accent color is orange: the meeting floating box, stairs, handrails, etc. are given orange, which forms a sharp contrast between the old and the new, the contrast of texture and color with the original concrete beams and slabs that we deliberately preserve.

Two conical cylinders, one white and one Klein blue, seem to support the floor slab of the second floor, but in fact it is just a game of spatial contrast. The game of space wandering and looking at each other is more interesting and deliberate than the comparison: from everywhere to stop at the platform to look at each other, like mountains and mountains.

When all lines, colors, and volumes are freely combined, reflecting the characteristics of diagonal lines and intersperses, thus bringing about an unstable trend, it pays homage to Peter Eisenmann's "deconstructionism". It can also be regarded as taking "supremacy" to the "materialization" of architectural space.

Space is just appearance; Emotions are the key.
