About Tiangang Art Center 美術館

天罡藝術中心係保定一座經翻新嘅建築物,內設藝術展廳、酒店同餐飲服務。項目佔地2586.95平方米,重新利用咗一個原本閒置嘅半圓形混凝土框架結構。主體以白色顆粒漆塗裝,保持色彩純淨,令簡潔嘅幾何形態呈現出一件承接陽光嘅大型物體嘅觀感。弧形天窗將均勻嘅日光灑落主要空間,喺日間營造出變化嘅光影效果。中心係藝術家同藝術活動嘅聚腳點。

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.
