Work/Article 2
REVERSE A CITY, HANG THE CLOUDS
Above the clouds, wherever your heart is. Create a pure land in the noisy city, build an "upside-down floating" city, and create a dream of "living in the clouds". The second set of shared works is located in Xingtai, Hebei, in the Poly Cloud Sales Department display area. It is a practice of JLa design to turn ideals into reality.
01. A preliminary exploration of the cloud
The wall echoes the outdoor cement stone inside and outside. It is grand, simple and soft white, which seems to be able to tolerate everything in the world and turn the cumbersome and redundant into a room of fragrance.
Wooden veneers are embellished, releasing energy from nature and warming the entire space. Light penetrates from different directions, and glass and soft gauze curtains reflect ideals and romance.
The large-scale inverted urban architectural installation suspended in the hollow area is a metaphor for the "ideal city" Laputa. Together with the cloud texture made of the glass on the second-story attic facade, they play a song "City in the Sky".
02. Walking in the clouds
The "castle in the air" reconstructed by lines temporarily locks the viewer's sight above the interior of the field. A little blue angel squats in the high "clouds and mist", bringing artistry and interest to the entire field and guiding the viewer. the sight of the person.
As the focus shifts, the line of sight becomes wider, and the vertical staircase, like a passage deep into the secret realm "on the clouds", divides the movement line into two. A mirror device is used at the bottom to reflect the "blue sky and white clouds" carpet below. The power of softness heals everything.
The flawless 3D printed architectural model is not only an artistic display on the white book wall, but also an inspiring brand story.
03. Savor the blue of the clouds
Blue, as the main color of this case, jumps in series throughout the space.
Low-key blue is hidden in many corners of the space, like a touch of blue in the ocean of clouds, calming the restless soul. There are no complicated color blocks, and the tone of the entire display area is smooth.To harmony and clean enough.
04. Looking back at the lights on the clouds
The rolling clouds and the shimmering shadows of trees reflect the changes, cuts and combinations of nature, combined with the feelings and longing for a better life, and are incorporated into space design thinking.
"If you choose to stick to this path, then you should have such a fire in your heart. Without fire, it will be difficult to keep burning and moving forward. Take good care of this unquenchable love. I still think design is fun. This is because The fire in my heart has not gone out."
Mr. Liang Xiwen enjoys the joy of creation and is willing to share and show his positive attitude and love for work to everyone. He is an observer of human love and changes in human settlements in the era.
