The Design

About Snail Bay Salão de Exposições da Cidade

Snail Bay é um salão de exposições urbano em Kunming, China, criado a partir da reconstrução e reutilização de edifícios antigos. O salão ocupa 6.800 metros quadrados e apresenta o desenvolvimento futuro da região de Snail Bay. As paredes externas foram removidas, enquanto a estrutura original e o padrão espacial foram preservados. Uma ampla fachada-cortina de vidro volta-se para a paisagem natural e abre a vista interior. A água do lago é conduzida para dentro do edifício, onde um espelho d'água regular se sobrepõe visualmente à superfície do lago. Um corredor conecta os espaços interno e externo.
