About Tiangang Art Center Galery

Tiangang Art Center is in ferboud gebou yn Baoding dêr't keunstgaleryen, in hotel en cateringtsjinsten yn ûnderbrocht binne. It projekt beslacht 2586,95 kante meter en brûkt in oarspronklike healrûne betonnen frameskonstruksje op 'e nij dy't net mear yn gebrûk wie. It haadgebou is bedutsen mei wite kerrelige ferve om de kleur suver te hâlden, wat de skjinne geometryske foarm it oansjen jout fan in grut objekt dat it sinneljocht fangt. In bôge dakljocht ferspriedt gelykmjittich deiljocht troch de haadromten, wêrtroch't oerdeis wikseljend ljocht en skaad ûntstiet. It sintrum tsjinnet as moetingsplak foar keunstners en keunsteveneminten.

Unique Properties: Following the renovation, the building is replete with multiple functions such as art galleries, hotels, and catering services.

Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 2586.95 square meters.

Production Technology: The main body of the building is coated with white granular paint to maintain a purity of color - and with its clean geometric form and absence of linear directionality, it becomes a kind of enormous sunlight-catching object.
Design Challenge: The original semi-circular concrete frame structure sits amongst the mountains and rivers in the area, facing Tiangang Village. The disorderly initial condition of the site and fractured structure evoked a village in a predicament of forced stagnation.
Research: The use of natural materials is essential in a space evoking an idyllic, pastoral atmosphere and light itself is also a kind of natural material. The building's curved skylight provides even illumination throughout the main spaces, generating rich light and shadow effects throughout the day, lending the building a kind of sundial effect, enacting an easy embrace of the passage of time.
Inspiration: Behind the "abandoned architecture" is the first review of the building and site by the village cadres during the "initial revitalization". SYN Architects took this as a pre-existing condition, analyzing it fully in order to comprehend the site and its situation to better upgrade its functioning.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2020 in Baoding and finished in April 2021 in Baoding.
Operation Flow: The building's sculptural presence is combined with nearby rice fields and villages, establishing a strong visceral connection between the building and the natural environment, enabling it to leverage its surroundings to amplify the aesthetic tension between the two entities.
