Hong Museum, located in Wenzhou Zhixin Plaza, is an experimental art institution that integrates sociological thought with contemporary art. By reimagining a standard office floor, the museum creates a unique art venue where flowing, curved walls wrap around straight structural cores to form a U-shaped main exhibition hall. This design fosters a multi-layered and dynamic environment, enhanced by a custom lighting system centered on an arc-shaped light band. The curved light band exemplifies high-efficiency integration, seamlessly combining three-sided linear lights with a track system to form a clean, elegant illumination strip that traverses the entire gallery. The integrated light band features an upper luminous surface that bathes the space in soft, uniform diffused light, while the lower curved track satisfies diverse exhibition and spatial needs, achieving a harmonious integration of exhibition and ambient lighting functions. The arc-shaped light band follows the natural curvature of the walls, creating a dynamic "scenery-shifting" visual experience and serving as a spatial guide, enhancing the harmony between structural order and curved aesthetics.

Furthermore, the lighting design extends to functional areas such as offices, classrooms, and the café, further dissolving the boundaries between art and daily life. In the art corridor, evenly spaced "light blades" create crisp, rectilinear effects, evoking an immersive sense of infinite parallel dimensions. Small, randomly embedded downlights in the café ceiling resemble a starry sky, while illuminated panels on ring-shaped cabinets generate playful light patterns, infusing the space with an artistic and vibrant atmosphere. These exceptional and experimental lighting solutions not only establish a new narrative context for the museum but also offer the city a fresh perspective on art and life, demonstrating the organic integration of art spaces with urban living.
