The Design

About Shimao Wisdom Door Centro de exposiciones

Shimao Wisdom Door es un centro de exposiciones ubicado en Ningbo, China. El centro de exposiciones da servicio a dos edificios emblemáticos de gran altura que albergan empresas tecnológicas. El espacio se utiliza para ruedas de prensa sobre productos de inteligencia artificial y nuevas tecnologías, por lo que un tema de tecnología contemporánea recorre todo el interior. Una paleta en blanco y negro establece el tono básico. El vidrio conforma los muros perimetrales y el suelo está pavimentado con mármol negro. Unos hilos verticales resplandecientes a ambos lados aportan luz al entorno oscuro. Una gran instalación artística de color negro envuelve la escalera de caracol.
