Production Technology: The exhibition center will be used for news conference of future artificial intelligence products and new technology of government. In order to highlight this characteristic, the modern science and technology theme goes through the whole space. The palette of black and white creates the basic tone, where glass is used to make the surrounding walls and black marble is paved on the floor. Shimmering threads are decorated vertically on the two sides to highlight the modern technology sense in the dark environment.
Design Challenge: To make the project an iconic image, a vast black original art installation is set to wrap the spiral stairs. When looked far away, it seems like a reflection of mountain on a peaceful lake. What's more, as the main communicate area for visitors, the entrance hall give people an impression of Zen and imagination .
Research: Design conveys a specific life attitude. It needs the accumulation and test of time, being enriching and improving all the time. It is a perfect process of innovation breakthrough. In the designer's point of view, the values of design lie in two aspects: meeting people's needs for space functions and combining function and aesthetics with a soul just like human.

Operation Flow: The space serves people, so the space design should meet the needs of owners. On the premise of necessary functional requirements, the design team create a different exhibition center space through regular products with original design, so as to create the best effect of art space.
