The Design

About Ren Community Kunstgalerie

Ren Community is een kunstgalerie gevestigd in een kleine stedelijke ruimte in Hangzhou, China. Het interieur meet 13 meter lang, 4,2 meter breed en 5,4 meter hoog. Langs de lengteas is de galerie verdeeld in drie zalen: voor, midden en achter. De zalen vloeien in elkaar over en creëren gelaagde, open gebieden. Veranderingen in hoogte en beslotenheid geven de ruimte een gevoel van ritme. Lichtkoepels in de voor- en achterzaal brengen natuurlijk licht binnen. Wit microcement bedekt de oppervlakken voor een zuivere uitstraling. Het ontwerp biedt een rustige, naar binnen gerichte ruimte in een drukke stad.

Unique Properties: As for spatial structure, it is divided into three halls: front, middle and rear. The various spaces penetrate and flow with each other, forming multiple ambiguous spaces; through the change of height and encirclement, the sense of spatial rhythm is given.
Dimensions & Packaging: space size 13m*4.2m*5.4m
Tags: Gallery, Exhibition, Interior, Minimalism, Klein
Production Technology: The whole gallery is in white microcement so that it is visually pure. It also shows its diversity with the various of the space and the flow of the natural light. Therefore, the entire space would eventually appear both pure and various.
Design Challenge: Create a very rich spatial experience through the redesign of the space by the designer in a very small space.
Research: The idea of the design came mainly from two artists, one is the artist Yves Klein, and the other is the Japanese architect Tadao Ando. Klein blue is a deep and pure color, applied to the design of the museum to give space a kind of vitality, Tadao Ando's design philosophy is deeply impressed to me, can extract the relationship between many people and nature, people and society, from this starting point of thinking, so that the meaning of design to another level.
Inspiration: "Architecture should remain silent and let light and wind express" – Japanese architect Tadao Ando. From the perspective of architectural philosophy, the elements of nature are used to integrate architecture and nature. The museum is designed as an introverted space with no cluttered streets in sight, but the skylights in the front and back halls give the space a sacred temperament.
Project Duration: Product located at Wulinli Pocket Park, Xiaofeng Road, Hangzhou, China
Operation Flow: The original intention of the design was to provide a quiet space in the noisy city, so I wanted the feeling of the space to be inward when designing. More is to make changes in the interior space itself, and there is less connection with the outdoors.
