DESIGN NAME: Jiangcheng Business Innovation Center
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Interior Design
INSPIRATION: Designers instill unique perspectives and insights into the daily workplace and the modern way of giving artistic expression, which do not contradict each other from a space design standpoint. Traditional office spaces often lack personalization and innovative elements, whereas art spaces are highly expressive in these aspects. The best representation of the modern design trend, which accents versatility and humanization, is achieved by integrating both spaces.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The interior public area design of Pudong Jiangcheng Business Innovation Center challenges the traditional concept on office spaces. It seamlessly integrates the cultural essence of an art gallery, the functionality of a business office, and the relaxing atmosphere of a coffee bookstore, resulting in an interplay and coexistence of the three elements in the space sequence.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: While primarily functioning as an office space, this space also serves as an art exhibition hall and gallery and is available to provide external services for arranging art exhibition projects. Notably, there is no definite boundary between the art exhibits and the office area within this space. Instead, the main exhibition space is located in the lobby on the first floor, while art pieces are also dispersed in other office areas, making a seamless integration of art and the workplace.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project kicked off on August 2023 at Yuqiao in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai, concluded in December 2023, and was exhibited and put into operation in the same month.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: To create a sense of simplicity and purity, as well as to bring out the wall art exhibits, the walls are adorned with micro-cement art wall paint. The first floor exhibits include paintings from Ms. Huang Yi's River of Stars and Feathers of Nature series, as well as the sculpture artwork The Witty Rabbit Ricky.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The lobby area of the first floor is 1000 square meters, the second floor is 220 square meters, and the standard floor is 280 square meters

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In a space like this, the minimalistic aesthetics shifts the observer's attention towards the architectural structure itself and its inherent artistic exhibits. The incorporation of deconstructivist elements heightens the expressive potency of the space, introducing intricacy and depth to the structure, while also leaving a visual and emotional impact.
CHALLENGE: The design cautiously makes a trade-off of visual appeal and functional integration between the ground floor showroom and the office reception area. Leveraging a strategy of amplification and exaggeration, the design accents the ceremonial essence of the office entrance. It reaffirms the business nature of the space, and clarifies the boundaries between the two areas through a visual approach that embodies both the business atmosphere and spatial fluidity.
