The Design

About Dreams Chasing Showroom de Vida e Arte

Dreams Chasing é um showroom de vida e arte localizado no interior de um shopping center suburbano em Shantou, na China. O espaço de 480 metros quadrados é utilizado para expor móveis e colchões. O local consiste em uma área retangular estreita, com uma malha regular de pilares e janelas uniformemente espaçadas nas paredes norte e sul. Volumes geométricos simples são inseridos na estrutura para dividir e conectar o interior. Uma forma em arco com uma abertura vazada permite que os espaços se interpenetrem. Foram empregados concreto, tinta látex branca, tinta látex preta e piso plástico.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: By refining the volume of the form, the versatile geometry functions as division of space while independent from the space. The arc-shaped form adds fun to the space that is filled with tension, and the missing hole not only implies the beginning of each unknown space, but also allows the spaces to penetrate each other. A sloping wall seems to point to an unknown edge. Under the superposition of multiple forms and spaces, the viewers are guided into a world between dream and reality.
Dimensions & Packaging: Project area: 480 sqm
Category: Life and Art Showroom
Tags: Art Showroom, Simple, pure, perceive, AD ARCHITECTURE
Production Technology: Main materials: concrete, white latex paint, black latex paint, plastic flooring
Design Challenge: The project is located inside a mall in the suburbs. The space is mainly targeted for displaying furniture and mattresses. The designer defines it as life & art showroom. The site is a narrow rectangular space in east-west direction, with a standard column grid structure and evenly distributed windows on the north and south walls, resulting in a single spatial form. How to explore the diverse meanings of showroom space under the condition of limited space structure is the biggest challenge of the design.
Research: Space is virtual. In fact, in the virtual state, the narratives are allowed not to be presented in the order of events. To avoid a single linear space form, the design opens the non-load-bearing partition wall that combines the structure from the very beginning. Simple and pure geometrical form is interspersed in the framework of structure, and the original space is decomposed and reconstructed, creating spaces of different shapes and interconnections, thus the boundaries of space are blurred.
Inspiration: Everyone has a dream, which is an illusory yet real experience. Dreams provide more space for people to think about infinity, transcending the boundaries of real space, chasing, exploring and conquering in dreams while looking backward at the self and superego in personality. Perhaps it is also an encouragement for people to contemplate in real life. And that's why we call it Dreams-Chasing.
Project Duration: Design time: September, 2018
Completion time: December, 2018

Operation Flow: The space is mainly for displaying furniture and mattresses. Designer defines it as life & art showroom. The site is a narrow rectangular space in east-west direction, with a standard column grid structure and evenly distributed windows on the north and south walls, resulting in a single spatial form. Designer explores the diverse meanings of showroom space under the condition of limited space structure through the concept of "taking objects as reality, space as virtua, and dreams as the world".
