About Snail Bay Sala de Exposicións da Cidade

Snail Bay é unha sala de exposicións da cidade en Kunming, China, creada mediante a reconstrución e reutilización de edificios antigos. A sala abrangue 6800 metros cadrados e presenta o desenvolvemento futuro da zona de Snail Bay. As paredes exteriores foron eliminadas mentres se preservaron a estrutura orixinal e o patrón espacial. Un gran muro cortina de vidro mira cara á paisaxe natural e abre a vista interior. A auga do lago introdúcese no edificio, onde unha piscina regular se superpón visualmente coa superficie do lago. Un corredor conecta o espazo interior e exterior.
