The Design
About Grand Overture Gastama Halo
Grand Overture estas gastama halo de proksimume 1000 kvadrataj metroj en Ŝanhajo, Ĉinio. Arkaj strukturoj gvidas la fluon de lumo kaj ombro tra pluraj niveloj. Blanketa ŝtono, terkolora ligno kaj metalaj akcentoj formas tavolojn de teksturo kaj varmo. Ŝtonaj inkrustaĵaj ŝablonoj en la stilo Art Deco kaj haringosta ŝtona planko aludas al la historiaj komercaj domoj de la regiono. Kurba ŝtuparo kondukas vizitantojn supren, kaj la lifta vestiblo enhavas malnovstilajn etaĝindikilojn. Klasikaj arkoj kaj barokaj kurboj estas reinterpretitaj per moderna geometria aliro.
