About Snail Bay Balai Pameran Kota

Snail Bay adalah balai pameran kota di Kunming, Tiongkok, yang diwujudkan melalui rekonstruksi dan pemanfaatan kembali bangunan lama. Balai ini mencakup area seluas 6800 meter persegi dan menyajikan gambaran pengembangan kawasan Snail Bay di masa depan. Dinding luar dibongkar, sementara struktur asli dan pola ruang aslinya dipertahankan. Dinding tirai kaca berukuran besar menghadap lanskap alami dan membuka pandangan dari dalam ruangan. Air danau dialirkan ke dalam bangunan, di mana sebuah kolam bergeometri teratur tampak menyatu secara visual dengan permukaan danau. Sebuah koridor menghubungkan ruang dalam dan ruang luar.
