About The Entry

The pure white architectural space implies an understanding of life as the core theme. The pure, white, and spacious environment provides viewers with a tranquil and profound dimension for contemplation. In the lighting design, the team avoided common downlights and instead adopted the approach of illuminating the ceiling to achieve soft and diffused light that fills the entire space. Large-scale wall washing is used to highlight the exhibited artworks and introductions at the entrance, accentuating the spatial characteristics and guiding the visual flow.

The public circulation spaces leading to various exhibition halls continue the consistent design approach. Through extensive wall washing and the high reflectivity of white walls, a uniform and bright visual space is achieved without the need for dense downlights.

Suspended artworks in the public spaces are composed of colorful silk threads, featuring graceful and gentle forms. They are illuminated through diffused light, adding a touch of brightness to the pure white space.

The light and delicate silk threads bathed in serene and gentle lighting create a soothing and introspective atmosphere, guiding the audience to contemplate the theme of life.

In the main exhibition hall, a large area of adjustable luminous ceiling provides a uniformly high-brightness environment that meets exhibition requirements. Additionally, a track lighting system embedded within the framework highlights the exhibited artworks. Notably, the skylight in the center of the exhibition hall was carefully designed to avoid direct sunlight on the paintings. The design team conducted a precise natural light simulation analysis to determine the height and spacing of the “eye” devices, ensuring that direct sunlight does not fall on the walls throughout the year.

The lighting design of Exhibition Hall 2 integrates exhibition and ambient lighting, creating a pure and minimalist artistic space through a customized integrated track system.

The elevator hall features an irregularly arranged ceiling design, and the soft boundary of the gypsum lights aligns with the artistic core of the art center, emphasizing the theme of life.
