About Morph Beár, Ionad Imeachtaí

Is beár agus ionad imeachtaí é Morph i Shenzhen, an tSín, le hachar iomlán tógála de 1,000 méadar cearnach. Comhcheanglaíonn an taobh istigh ábhair thraidisiúnta Síneacha le foirmeacha struchtúracha nua-aimseartha. Tá an pailéad dathanna dearg, gorm, dubh, buí agus ór spreagtha ag an gCathair Toirmiscthe agus na Cúig Dúile. Tá na limistéir fheidhmiúla socraithe timpeall spás lárnach gníomhaíochta atá 7 méadar ar airde, le cumas do 100 duine agus fuaimíocht amharclainne. Roinneann agus sainíonn meánurlár agus struchtúr dúbailte airde cuartha an spás. Is féidir na suiteálacha spásúla a athrú chun freastal ar imeachtaí éagsúla.

Unique Properties
According to the project designers' understanding, evolution indicates progress and variation. Taking account into the context of Shenzhen - a new city, they wanted to utilize some traditional and local materials to collide with the modern interior structural forms, thereby presenting the"evolution" of design. The designers' idea is to realize collisions within the space through a diversified material palette, contrasting interior scenes as well as division of multiple functional areas.
Dimensions & Packaging
MORPH is a mixed-use space with a total construction area of 1,000 sqm.
The key design intervention of the project is the creation of a mezzanine. Another bold intervention is to insert a slightly oblique and curved double-height structure into the geometric space, which can link, partition and define the space, and highlight spatial identity and increase brightness.

Production Technology
The color palette is inspired by the Forbidden City, consisting of red, blue, black, yellow and gold, which feature extremely high saturation and are consistent with the colors of Wu Xing (Wu Xing is also named as the Five Elements, which includes metal, wood, water, fire and earth. )
The designers combined diversified modern materials with traditional materials exclusive in China.
Design Challenge
The greatest challenge was how to incorporate their thinking into the spatial design and at the same time to combine and transform traditional Chinese elements with modern designs. The color palette is inspired by the Forbidden City, consisting of red, blue, black, yellow and gold, which feature extremely high saturation and are consistent with the colors of Wu Xing (Wu Xing is also named as the 5 Elements, which includes metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
Research
Through this project, the designers explored and worked out a solution to tackle with the oblivion and disappearing of traditional Chinese materials:not only, adopting unique design approaches to innovate the way of using traditional materials and redefine them in modern designs; but also, integrating China-specific materials with modern technologies, materials and designs, so as to break through the limits of traditional materials utilization and realize "re-design with old material".
Inspiration
Located in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, China MORPH is a mixed-use space with a total construction area of 1,000 sqm. With an urban park and Houhai business circle nearby, it's a rare tranquil place amidst the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. "MORPH" means transformation and evolution in Chinese.
