Production Technology
The 90s-styled half-circular plan-shaped hotel building serves as the canvas for the innovative facade design. By reimagining the existing facade with a perforated metal laser-cut aluminum material, the building takes on the appearance of a dynamic, wind-simulated wedding dress. The design cleverly utilizes the existing column locations and door forms to create a harmonious integration of the new facade with the building's structure. This transformation not only enhances the visual identity of the wedding art center but also breathes new life into the outdated architectural style of the neighborhood.
Design Challenge
The innovation of this design lies in its ability to seamlessly integrate the form logic and visual language of wedding dresses into the architectural and interior elements of the art center. By reimagining traditional motifs and materials in a contemporary context, the design offers a fresh and unforgettable experience that sets it apart from conventional wedding venues.
Research
This design draws inspiration from the fluid forms of wedding dresses, translating their elegance, curves, and femininity into architectural and interior elements. The interior spaces include various display lounges where wedding dresses and accessories are showcased like works of art.
Inspiration
The existing urban building's facade is transformed using perforated metal material, which serves as a canvas for intricate patterns inspired by lace and embroidery found in wedding dresses. These patterns come to life at night with carefully placed lighting effects, casting enchanting shadows and creating a captivating atmosphere that entices passersby.
Project Duration
The project was designed from May 2023, and it starts construction in July, and finished in November. It's located in the old neighborhood of city center in Wenzhou, China.
Operation Flow
The newly designed facade acts as a beacon, drawing attention to the wedding art center and establishing it as a visual landmark within the neighborhood. Its fluid and graceful form evokes a sense of movement and romance, capturing the imagination of passersby and inviting them to explore the space within. This distinctive architectural feature contributes to the revitalization of the urban fabric, attracting visitors and fostering a sense of pride among local residents.
