About Wonderland Diseño interior de centro de exposiciones

Wonderland es el interior de un centro de exposiciones en Shanghái, China. El diseño se inspira en Taoyuan Wonderland, una pintura paisajística del pintor de la dinastía Ming Qiu Ying, y aplica tonos verdes, rosados y blancos a un espacio sereno. Un muro de pizarra gris oculta en un primer momento la vista, y el vestíbulo principal, de diez metros de altura, se revela a lo largo del recorrido. El pasaje central conduce al área de conferencias, al área de exposición y a la sala de té. Estanterías de suelo a techo y celosías geométricas caladas delimitan las distintas zonas. Una instalación suspendida de vidrio compuesta por más de 5.000 pétalos de durazno fue montada a mano.

Unique Properties
Since the year 907 AD, the Chinese people's ambiguity
about the Taoyuan space has gone through a series of
evolutions from earthly legends to images of physical
space, finally being transformed from the abstract into
something which can be incorporated into everyday
life, where the Tao Yuanming space was replaced by the
living room. The narrative of Wonderland is the most profound.
In the modern urban environment, the industrialized
environment has been separated from the natural
environment.
Dimensions & Packaging
Time in the usual sense can be roughly divided into two types. One is the time in nature when flowers are blooming and the seasons are changing, the other is the time in space, which is caused by the rotation of the earth. How people view the space and what they get out of it will depend on their different experiences.

Production Technology
From the open landscape to the inside, the designer Mr. Alessio Chengzhe Zhang first considers the space experience of the visitors, the gray slate wall obscures the line of sight and as they pass along the path, the main 10 meter high space is revealed, filling the visitors with awe. As they continue along the central passage, the layout of the functional areas such as the conference area, the exhibition area and the tea room unfold before their eyes.
Design Challenge
The large glass art installation suspended in the air is a response to these two concepts of time. It consists of pink-white peach petals each of different size, brightness and width, simulating the temporal dynamics of natural movement. More than 5,000 glass petals were all manually installed on site to achieve the final result, which also serves as a visual guide in the actual use of space.
From the opening and closing of the space, the abstraction of color to the artistic interpretation of time, the classic literary image has completed a series of retellings at the hands of the designers.
Research
In traditional Chinese painting, landscapes usually incorporated the triple concept of far, with the painter mainly trying to emphasize the subtle characteristics in the space. In order to avoid the panoramic effect in the large space, the canvas mainly focuses on the near and far, which becomes the boundary between the different functional areas. Here the surrounding floor-standing bookshelves and geometric hollow screens can create subtle light and shadow changes in space, while changing both inside and outside. These ideas all stem from the interpretation of landscape painting, representing the height of artificial nature.
Inspiration
The Ming dynasty painter Qiu Ying has a painting called Taoyuan
Wonderland. The painter meticulously depicts the life hidden in the mountains: green mountains and clear water. Several white people who are detached from the world are sitting down by the creek and enjoying nature.
IADC chief designer Mr. Alessio Chengzhe Zhang was inspired by the masterpieces of Chinese landscape painters, applying the green, pink and white symbols of the pastoral forests to this quaint space.
Project Duration
The Project started in January 2018 in Shanghai China
Operation Flow
From the opening and closing of the space, the abstraction of color to the artistic interpretation of time, the classic literary image has completed a series of retellings at the hands of the designers. It signals both inheritance of tradition and the beginning of a new life in the future.
