RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The screen in the Hallway correspondingly matches the outside layout of the building. Meanwhile, it adds to the hall with traditional Chinese Lingnan style. To better design the screen, designers tactfully mixed and rearranged both international and Lingnan-style elements and The construction of the glass screen is infused with details originated from the unique Manzhou Windows.
CHALLENGE: For the outer façades of the hall, the designers make the utmost of geometric elements, while using GRC to break the limits of the previous wall space, and making the entire structure mysteriously illusive with LED lights that are separately hidden within. By nightfall, the outer structure of the building stands out as the spotlight center of the area. Constructed with folded plates, it looks like a gift box that awaits children’s opening. It symbolizes the exciting exploration that lies ahead, as well as hopes for a better future.
