GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 17th edition
Discipline : Architecture
Categories : Public Building / Cultural Building : Gold Certification
Future Artspace H is established by Future Vision, a Shantou-based emerging institution dedicated to commercial art and management consulting.
Future Artspace H is located on the main road of Shiyihe Village. With the improvement of living standards, residents in the village, who used to make a living by farming and fishing, have moved out of their old houses and have built multi-story square-shaped new residences on designated plots. The new and old buildings interweave in the village, reflecting the traces of evolution. The construction of the project would inject an artistic vibe into the village in the context of rural renewal.
In this project, the design team pondered the boundary of the project beyond architecture, trying to speak for the city and society through design.
Breaking away from the conventional connotation of architecture, the design team approached the project from the perspectives of the city and society, intending to create an art space that integrates into both the market and the public life, to convey the value and warmth of design.
With a simplistic design approach, the design team created “empty” spaces, in order to offer more functional possibilities to support commercial operations of the venue. Starting from an assumed basic function for weddings and banquets, the design team endowed the place with undefined possibilities, to allow for more effective use of space and enrich its operations. In this project, the design team created diversified art scenes, and produced a hybrid of commerce and art.
Playing with abstract geometry, the design team created a simplistic, artistic building that invites visitors to explore. Drawing on the wisdom of traditional courtyards, the inner and outer yards gather people and present a modern form. The design creates interaction between interior and outside, architecture and environment, architecture and people, and produces a truly people-oriented art space.
In this project, the design team considered the building’s interaction with the surrounding environment. The architecture creates an iconic skyline, with a curve producing an eye-catching visual identity, which adds an aesthetic and artistic touch to the mediocre village.
The free changes of light and shadows enrich the form of the space throughout the day, resulting a varying aesthetic and a more intriguing space. The free light and shadow effects are preset through design strategies.
The light sets off structures and space. In this project, the design team didn’t see light as a symbol of divinity, but a power that represent nature and variation. The form of natural light is expressed by it shadows.
For this project, the design team conceived a simple building featuring common steel structures and large white wall surfaces, and ensured the perfect execution of the design scheme. The minimalist aesthetics of the building conveys a sense of affinity. It’s simple, yet inclusive.
