About Shui Cultural Center सांस्कृतिक केन्द्र
चीनको दक्षिणी गुइझोउ प्रान्तमा अवस्थित शुई सांस्कृतिक केन्द्र शुई जातीय अल्पसंख्यकहरूको भूमि सान्दु काउन्टीको प्रवेशद्वार हो। यस भवनको साथ वेस्ट-लाइन स्टुडियोको लक्ष्य शुईको अनुष्ठान तत्वहरू र वातावरणलाई सार्वजनिक स्थानमा बदल्नु थियो। पातलो कांस्य छालाले भारी कंक्रीट संरचनासँग एक भिन्नता सिर्जना गर्दछ, सूर्यको किरणलाई तोडेर भित्र एक पटक नाटकीय प्रभाव सिर्जना गर्दछ। आगन्तुकहरूले खुला पानी स्क्वायर पार गरेपछि सांस्कृतिक केन्द्रले तीनवटा ठाउँहरूको उत्तराधिकार प्रस्तुत गर्दछ, जो शुईको पहाड चित्रचित्रलाई जगाउने पिच गरिएको छानाले दृढतापूर्वक चित्रण गर्दछ।
