The Design

About Snail Bay Salle d'exposition urbaine

Snail Bay est une salle d'exposition urbaine à Kunming, en Chine, née de la reconversion et de la réhabilitation de bâtiments anciens. D'une superficie de 6800 mètres carrés, elle présente le développement futur du quartier de Snail Bay. Les murs extérieurs ont été supprimés tandis que la structure d'origine et l'organisation spatiale ont été conservées. Un vaste mur-rideau en verre s'ouvre sur le paysage naturel et libère les vues depuis l'intérieur. L'eau du lac est introduite dans le bâtiment, où un bassin régulier se superpose visuellement à la surface lacustre. Une galerie relie les espaces intérieurs et extérieurs.
