Snail Bay est aula exhibitionis urbanae in urbe Kunming, in Sinis, per reconstructionem et reusum aedificiorum veterum creata. Aula spatium 6800 metrorum quadratorum complectitur et futurum incrementum regionis Snail Bay demonstrat. Parietes exteriores remoti sunt, dum structura originalis et forma spatialis conservatae sunt. Magnus paries velaris vitreus ad naturae speciem spectat et prospectum interiorem aperit. Aqua lacus in aedificium ducitur, ubi piscina regularis cum superficie lacus visu coniungitur. Porticus spatium interius cum exteriore conectit.
