The emergence and development of art commercial centers have become a mode that is closer to modern life and art consumption, bringing art into our daily leisure and entertainment areas, allowing art to add color to our daily lives, and providing a series of art experiences.

Theia+Art, also known as "staircase art Theiart," comes from the ancient Greek mythology representing vision and light, the goddess Theia. "Integrating art into life" and the passion for life and exploration drive us to constantly climb upward. Theiart aims to explore curated art spaces that combine avant-garde design and artistic aesthetics.

By deconstructing and reorganizing the space, using a "slanted" staggered cutting method to differentiate the behavior of the flow, while making each partition independent, it also has a sense of extension, making the exhibition flow more free and rhythmically rich, creating a customized exhibition hall where visitors can walk through an art gallery experience.

Combining the flatness, spatial order, structural relationships, and spatial experience, Theiart insists on the beauty of rationality, with no superfluous elements, allowing people's attention to focus entirely on the art pieces themselves and the new art space. The texture of micro-cement, art paint, and customized DuPont paper on the ceiling portrays the artistic temperament of the space, softening the relationship between the space and people. Through continuous walking, touching, and observing, visitors can experience rich levels and depths, visually strengthening the architectural sense of the indoor space, and enhancing people's perception of the spatial framework and order.

To create more extension and combination possibilities, the steel and wall structures are transitioned and connected, exploring the internal combination of components with metal, paint, crafts, DuPont paper, and other materials, expanding the space of each partition. The space has a certain degree of uncertainty, with internal and external, curved and straight, dynamic and static elements, allowing for greater freedom in exhibition theme arrangements. Looking at it from different angles will result in completely different psychological feelings, like walking on the boundary of a blurred time and space, where form and shadow interact, and scenes blend together.
