The Design

About The Lake Art Galería de Arte

The Lake Art es una galería de arte situada sobre una pradera junto al lago Xinglong, en Chengdú, China. La galería sustituye a una pequeña cafetería y ocupa 600 metros cuadrados. Volúmenes geométricos macizos se recortan y combinan para configurar una fachada que evoca una escultura de piedra, de modo que el edificio resulta fácil de reconocer junto al paisaje natural. Las formas espaciales remiten a las montañas, los árboles y las nubes de la ciudad. Un cielorraso impermeable, concebido como una imagen geométrica de las nubes, responde al clima húmedo local. El interior está planificado para exposiciones de arte e intercambio cultural internacional.

Production Technology: The designer uses extremely tense materials and forms through combination and fission to shape the depth of the space and focus on people's visual points. At the same time, it also connects indoor and outdoor, past and future, China and the world.
Design Challenge: Due to the dense plum rain and humid climate in Chengdu, the blue sky and white clouds seem to have become a rare longing in the hearts of citizens. Therefore, the waterproof ceiling above the building is the interpretation of the geometric modern design vocabulary of "clouds", which not only responds to the climate characteristics, but also represents the public's expectation for the future.
Research: Xinglong Lake is located in Chengdu Science City in the "one center and three cities" of Tianfu New District. As a comprehensive water ecological management project integrating flood control, irrigation, ecology, landscape, etc., it is surrounded by trees and beautiful mountains and rivers, which is an "ecological kidney" for municipal planning and construction.
Inspiration: The design releases images of Chengdu, such as mountains, trees and clouds in the spatial form, trying to arouse the perception and imagination between people and architecture, human and nature, and to lead the citizens to experience art from the space, and to witness the modern and future of the city.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2019 in Chengdu and finished in January 2020 in Chengdu.
Operation Flow: The creation of such a stone sculpture with a sense of solid cutting makes the whole building very recognizable in terms of the identity of the facade, and stands on the lawn and complements the natural scenery.
