About Shimao Wisdom Door Udstillingscenter

Shimao Wisdom Door er et udstillingscenter i Ningbo, Kina. Udstillingscentret betjener to højhuse, der fungerer som vartegn og huser teknologivirksomheder. Rummet bruges til pressekonferencer om produkter inden for kunstig intelligens og ny teknologi, og derfor gennemsyrer et moderne teknologitema hele interiøret. En sort-hvid farvepalet sætter den grundlæggende tone. Glas udgør de omgivende vægge, og gulvet er belagt med sort marmor. Skinnende lodrette tråde på begge sider tilføjer lys til de mørke omgivelser. En stor sort kunstinstallation omslutter vindeltrappen.
