About Shimao Wisdom Door Centru Expozițional

Shimao Wisdom Door este un centru expozițional din Ningbo, China. Centrul expozițional deservește două clădiri emblematice înalte care găzduiesc companii de tehnologie. Spațiul este folosit pentru conferințe de presă dedicate produselor de inteligență artificială și noilor tehnologii, astfel încât o temă tehnologică modernă străbate întregul interior. O paletă alb-negru stabilește tonul de bază. Sticla formează pereții înconjurători, iar podeaua este placată cu marmură neagră. Fire verticale strălucitoare pe ambele laturi adaugă lumină decorului întunecat. O amplă instalație de artă neagră învăluie scările în spirală.
