About Snail Bay Stadsuitstallingsaal

Snail Bay is 'n stadsuitstallingsaal in Kunming, China, geskep deur die rekonstruksie en hergebruik van ou geboue. Die saal beslaan 6800 vierkante meter en stel die toekomstige ontwikkeling van die Snail Bay-gebied voor. Die buitemure is verwyder terwyl die oorspronklike struktuur en ruimtelike patroon behoue gebly het. 'n Groot glasgordynmuur kyk uit op die natuurlike landskap en open die binneaansig. Meerwater word die gebou ingelei, waar 'n reëlmatige poel visueel met die meeroppervlak oorvleuel. 'n Gang verbind die binne- en buiteruimte.

Production Technology
Space is the essence of architecture. The designers’ strategy is to remove the external wall, dig its internal spatial memory and value, and endow it with proper temperament, while preserving its structure and spatial pattern. Under the requisite of maintaining the architecture function, a large area glass curtain wall is used on the side facing the natural landscape, which makes the indoor space vision completely open.
