The Design

About Shanghai Wzt Aristo Pavilion Diseño interior para exposiciones culturales

El Shanghai Wzt Aristo Pavilion es un interior de exposición cultural de 600 metros cuadrados situado en el distrito de Xuhui, en Shanghái. El diseño difunde la cultura tradicional china y se inspira en la arquitectura de Huizhou de la región de Jiangnan, en China. Las vigas y columnas, que antaño cumplían una función puramente estructural, se reutilizan y se exhiben como elementos centrales del interior. Las bases de las columnas están labradas con técnicas de talla en piedra de Huizhou y representan el ciruelo, la orquídea, el bambú y el crisantemo como las cuatro estaciones. Una mesa larga de líneas minimalistas con paneles de acrílico transparente une los elementos modernos y tradicionales.

Unique Properties
The interior design of Aristo Mansion, committed to promoting the exchange of traditional Chinese culture, distinguishes itself from the conventional neo-Chinese design style. The project exhibits beams and columns, which are integral load-bearing structures in traditional Chinese architecture, as part of the interior design. This not only embodies the structural aesthetics of Chinese architecture but also ensures the utility of the space. Additionally, it accents the harmonious integration of the functionality of the structure with its ornamental aspects.
Dimensions & Packaging
The area is 600m²

Production Technology
To restore the original beam and column structure interiorly, the project reuses components. The column bases are intricately carved using Huizhou stone carving techniques, symbolizing the alternating of four seasons represented by Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum. The desktop crafted from transparent acrylic panels delivers a visually appealing experience where modern and traditional spaces reflect and complement each other.
Design Challenge
Making an accurate trade-off between modernity and tradition, and achieving a harmonious coexistence without conflict, poses a great challenge in the field of design. The minimalist long table and its accompanying cushions seamlessly integrate modern elements. The minimalist design language not only reconciles with modern aesthetics, but also upholds the continuity of blending to the traditional environment without surprise.

Inspiration
The project is inspired from the essence of ancient architecture in the Jiangnan region of China, particularly the architectural style of Huizhou. This style has drastically influenced the conceptualization of the project. The design team extensively studied the core components of Huizhou architecture, such as column bases and wax gourd beams, along with other iconic structural elements. This enables them to link traditional with modern design contexts.
Project Duration
At the entrance of the architectural space, the hanging wall structure, a sort of suspended partition, only unveils a rocky landscape and atomized water beneath the suspended interface. Actually a pine tree is concealed behind this hanging wall which holds great significance in Chinese culture as a symbol of perseverance, nobility and non-corruption. Through the clever installation of this pine tree, it metaphorically embodies the traditional Chinese virtue of a "gentleman" characterized by modesty and reservation.
Operation Flow
The project kicked off on March 2021 in Xuhui District, Shanghai, and is scheduled to be finalized and put into operation by September 2021.
