The Design

About Wuhan UI Interior de centro de ventas

Wuhan UI es el interior de un centro de ventas inspirado en la cultura del agua de Wuhan. El sonido y el espacio conforman el marco del concepto de diseño. Se compuso música original para el interior, y las pistas sonoras se mezclan de forma invisible a través de las salas, de modo que los visitantes se desplazan como si estuvieran dentro de un campo sonoro. Una escalera de caracol conduce hacia la fuente sonora situada en la segunda planta, por lo que el recorrido se guía tanto por el oído como por la vista. Las instalaciones artísticas combinan escaleras, un espejo de bronce y una piedra suspendida. Entre los materiales se incluyen laca artística, ladrillo decorativo y piedra artificial con vetas de madera.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: "When a building stays, the river doesn't stop flowing." In Wuhan, Qingchuan Pavilion and Yellow Crane Tower stand beside the river, and the river flows constantly all day and night. In UI Center, an art installation that combines a stable building with unstable mirror images through which the suspension bridge passes. The instability of the suspension bridge and the swinging of the perforating copper give people a kind of dreamlike feeling.
Dimensions & Packaging: "Sound and space constitute the framework of the design concept. Sound is integrated into the context of contemporary art and sound tracks are interwoven and mixed invisibly in the space, so that visitors walk as if in a sound field, interacting with the art installations in the space and motivating the emotions of the whole space.
Tags: Divinity, field domain, fusion, leisure, emotion, balance
Production Technology: Artistic lacquer, decorative brick, colour film, artificial stone with wood grains, pan DOMO floor.
Design Challenge: The water on the first floor statically expresses a kind of extreme quiet, while that on the second floor emphasizes the sense of mobility of the space.
The second floor is connected with the first floor. Those regular windows and walls separate the space into a series of continuous pictures, which depict the warm, delicate and romantic sceneries of spring, river, flower, moon and night in the traditional Chinese style.
Research: In the corridor, the light and the sky colour mix mutually, and the sound of water droplets is high sometimes and low sometimes. The sound source is located in the roof of the second floor just above the spiral staircase. Therefore, the guidance of the tour route is beyond ordinary visual guidance, but a process of "seeking for a sound source".
Inspiration: "I want that the whole space is filled with a pleasant sound. The space and sound have a close relationship but are separate each other."
- Yu Zhao
Like a floating city, Wuhan floats on the surface of rivers and lakes. The project design was inspired by the unique water culture of Wuhan. Based on "water", the designer invited his friend Ouge, a musician, to create a piece of unique music for this space, and integrated the sound art into space expression here.
Project Duration: The project started in Oct. 2019 in Wuhan and finished in Nov. 2020 in Wuhan.
Operation Flow: Listening to the sound whiling going upstairs from the corridor, visitors can also "view" the stairs in the box, the bronze mirror on the floor, and the hanging stone which constitute a complete art installation with a special art environment. The light darkens here, and the reflection in the mirror looks like the surface of a pool of water, attracting people to stop and feel their blurred environment around. The sound of water droplets does not correspond to the real dropping water.
