SOUL ART

「Soul Art Center」is located in the Beijing 798 art core area, a Bauhaus-style building built with German assistance in the 1950s.

The lighting of the front hall and entrance combine with the architectural form. Using interior decoration grooves to highlight the characteristic components of the space and express the pureness of the space.

The main exhibition hall is a large open space with natural lighting. In the entire space, the architect retained the arc-shaped roof with Bauhaus characteristics to the greatest extent, and hid the HVAC system and firefighting equipment in the new anti-arc device. The lighting design also continues the architectural design method, hiding the high-power linear lights inside above the reverse arc. Through the reflection of the arc ceiling, the uniform soft light fills the entire space and ensures the environmental lighting of modern and contemporary art exhibitions. In the daytime, natural light diffuses into the exhibition hall through the skylight in the north and combines with artificial light through dimming control. At night, the indirect light of the linear lights reproduces as soft sunlight and provides a pleasant exhibition and activity space. All the necessary lighting tracks in the exhibition hall are gathered in one place on the anti-arc structure to maintain the original spacial purity and meet the requirements of a diversified modern art exhibition.

The same idea extends to all areas of the gallery. In the space where the entrance leads to the second floor, the main lights are all hidden in the building structure, such as the line lighting on the top of the ceiling, the oblique lighting hidden inside the handrail, and the circular lighting hidden inside the circular device. These lamps not only provide basic lighting for the overall space, but also highlight the architects' detailed and interesting ingenious thinking about the project.

The modernist art modeling space created by geometric elements combined with the elegant lighting design layouts presents an impressive visual effect.
