About Shimao Wisdom Door Utställningscenter

Shimao Wisdom Door är ett utställningscenter i Ningbo, Kina. Utställningscentret betjänar två höga landmärkesbyggnader som hyser teknikföretag. Utrymmet används för presskonferenser om produkter inom artificiell intelligens och ny teknik, varför ett modernt teknologitema genomsyrar hela interiören. En svartvit färgpalett sätter grundtonen. Glas bildar de omgivande väggarna och svart marmor är lagd på golvet. Skimrande vertikala trådar på båda sidor tillför ljus till den mörka miljön. En stor svart konstinstallation omsluter spiraltrappan.
