About Tiangang Art Center Galleri

Tiangang Art Center är en renoverad byggnad i Baoding som rymmer konstgallerier, ett hotell och restaurangverksamhet. Projektet omfattar 2586,95 kvadratmeter och återanvänder en ursprunglig halvcirkelformad betongramkonstruktion som stått oanvänd. Huvudbyggnaden är belagd med vit granulär färg för att hålla kulören ren, vilket ger den rena geometriska formen utseendet av ett stort objekt som fångar solljuset. Ett böjt takfönster sprider jämnt dagsljus genom huvudutrymmena och skapar skiftande ljus och skugga under dagen. Centret fungerar som en samlingsplats för konstnärer och konstevenemang.

Production Technology: The main body of the building is coated with white granular paint to maintain a purity of color - and with its clean geometric form and absence of linear directionality, it becomes a kind of enormous sunlight-catching object.
Design Challenge: The original semi-circular concrete frame structure sits amongst the mountains and rivers in the area, facing Tiangang Village. The disorderly initial condition of the site and fractured structure evoked a village in a predicament of forced stagnation.
Research: The use of natural materials is essential in a space evoking an idyllic, pastoral atmosphere and light itself is also a kind of natural material. The building's curved skylight provides even illumination throughout the main spaces, generating rich light and shadow effects throughout the day, lending the building a kind of sundial effect, enacting an easy embrace of the passage of time.
Inspiration: Behind the "abandoned architecture" is the first review of the building and site by the village cadres during the "initial revitalization". SYN Architects took this as a pre-existing condition, analyzing it fully in order to comprehend the site and its situation to better upgrade its functioning.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2020 in Baoding and finished in April 2021 in Baoding.
Operation Flow: The building's sculptural presence is combined with nearby rice fields and villages, establishing a strong visceral connection between the building and the natural environment, enabling it to leverage its surroundings to amplify the aesthetic tension between the two entities.
