About Cornerstone Kunsgalery-interieur

Cornerstone is 'n kunsgalery-interieur geleë in Taichung, Taiwan, met 'n oppervlakte van 36 vierkante meter. Die hoofafwerking is 'n tradisionele kleipleister gemaak van rooi klei, rysstrooi en kleefrys, wat help om binnenshuise humiditeit en temperatuur te reguleer. 'n Geboë rooikleimuur lei besoekers deur die ruimte. 'n Sirkelvormige opening van 75 sentimeter in deursnee is in die vloerblad daarbo gesny en toegerus met 'n keëlvormige staalarmatuur om daglig diep in die interieur in te bring. Gepatineerde staalrakke is verstelbaar en verwyderbaar vir wisselende uitstallings.

Unique Properties: This project challenges that convention by utilizing sustainable Earth-based materials as the spatial centerpiece. The primary finish is a traditional clay plaster composed of red clay, rice straw, and glutinous rice. This bio-composite not only anchors the aesthetic but also naturally regulates indoor humidity and temperature, significantly enhancing the building's energy efficiency and environmental performance.
Dimensions & Packaging: Area,36 m²

Production Technology: The palette centers on raw, tactile materials: Red Clay Plaster, Patinated Steel, and Resin Mortar Flooring.
Design Challenge: The site is situated within a narrow 5-meter alley, flanked by adjacent buildings that restrict natural light to a brief morning window. To overcome this, a 75cm diameter circular aperture was precision-cut into the floor slab, into which a conical steel fixture was embedded to funnel daylight deep into the interior. Due to the extreme spatial constraints, heavy machinery was inaccessible; thus, the installation and securing of all structural steel components required meticulous manual suspension and manual rigging techniques.
Research: To preserve the pristine state of the unrepairable clay walls, all hanging points were meticulously calculated and pre-installed with iron hardware. To ensure long-term versatility, the patinated steel shelves are fully adjustable and removable, providing a dynamic display system that evolves with each exhibition.
Inspiration: "A gentle breeze passes, sunlight trickles down; a ritualistic ascent that feels like retreating into a secluded valley."
A strategic skylight functions as a natural spotlight, focusing brilliance directly onto the sculptures.
The visitor is enveloped by a curved red clay wall, A solid wood counter seamlessly integrates consultation with curated exhibition, while timber louvered doors provide a semi-permeable boundary that extends the visual horizon into the private quarters.
Project Duration: The project was initiated in January 2024 in Taichung, Taiwan, and reached completion in December 2024.
Operation Flow: Beneath the circular skylight at the upper-left entrance, a stone sculpture is strategically positioned to bridge the gap between the neighborhood and the visitors, fostering an immediate and tactile connection with the artwork.
