The "Goldlion Zeng Xianzi Achievement Exhibition Hall" was initiated and constructed by Zeng Zhiming, aiming to inherit the spirit of his father, Mr. Zeng Xianzi, the founder of the Goldlion Group. It is located at the former site of the Yinlilai Building in Meijiang District, Meizhou, which was Mr. Zeng's first investment project in mainland China in the 1980s. With a total construction area of 4,358 square meters, it serves as an important carrier that connects corporate spirit, local culture, and national sentiment.
The lighting for the exhibition hall was crafted by the U GUANG lighting team under the theme of "Light of Modesty". This design not only aligns with Mr. [name]’s character traits of "modesty and pragmatism, prioritizing family and country", but also traces back to the essence of the "Modesty hexagram" from the Book of Changes. It complements the "rigid and unyielding as gold" design philosophy of GWP Architectural Firm. The team adopted a differentiated strategy: the lobby on the first floor utilizes light guide plates and concealed lighting to highlight its transparency and mortise-and-tenon details, with a spiral staircase creating a "starlight spiral"; the third and fourth floors feature adjustable track spotlights paired with gauze curtains, balancing the protection and appreciation of exhibits. The lighting integrates both technology (precise light control, energy saving) and emotion (diminishing instrumental attributes, creating empathetic light and shadow), using fluid narrative to allow visitors to perceive spiritual power.
