About Tiangang Art Center Galri

Tiangang Art Center se yon bilding ki te renove nan Baoding ki gen ladan galri atizay, yon otèl ak sèvis restorasyon. Pwojè a kouvri 2586.95 mèt kare epi li reitilize yon estrikti orijinal an beton ki gen fòm demi-sèk ki te rete san itilize. Kò prensipal la kouvri ak yon penti blan granile pou kenbe koulè a pi, sa ki bay fòm jewometrik pwòp la aparans yon gwo objè ki kapte limyè solèy. Yon fenèt nan tèt tou koube gaye limyè jounen an menm jan nan espas prensipal yo, sa ki kreye limyè ak lonbraj k ap chanje pandan jounen an. Sant lan sèvi kòm yon kote pou atis yo ak evènman atizay yo rasanble.

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.
