GUANGDONG Hall
Located on the second floor of the million-person auditorium on the north side, with an area of 495 square meters. The hall and eight round columns around the walls are constructed of crystal glass. The skirting is pearl marble. The central part of the ceiling is a suspended ceiling, with three large crystal chandeliers decorated with gold-painted gold powder on top. Surrounded by small square wells, built-in reflective dark light tanks. On the south wall of the hall, a silver and copper relief mural painting "Dragon Boat Racing" is inlaid. Dragon boat racing is a folk custom of ancient Yue people in Guangdong and is used to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the river during the Warring States period. The image of the dragon boat not only highlights the relationship between Guangdong's regional and cultural traditions and modern life but also emphasizes Guangdong people's unity, striving, and pioneering spirit. The central part of the light shadow decorations is mainly based on flowers and trees, and the surrounding area is revealed by wave patterns, showing that Guangdong is located on the coast. The lamp shades of the chandeliers are shaped like kapok flowers. The carpet patterns are made up of kapok flowers and wave ripples.
NINGXIA Hall
The Ningxia Hall serves as a window for communication with other provinces and regions, and both officials and the general public hope to make it unique and stylish, with a distinctive ethnic and local flavor. The decoration of the Ningxia Hall is responsible for the Office of the Autonomous Region People's Committee.
SHANGHAI Hall
The Shanghai Hall, with a total area of 540 square meters, was renovated and completed in February 1999. The hall reflects the achievements in construction and the style of the times as an international metropolis since the reform and opening up of Shanghai, through the art style that combines Chinese and foreign architecture with the Shanghai region. The hall combines various materials such as marble, wood, bronze, glass, and fabric to form a neutral and slightly warm color tone. 35 algae ponds are evenly distributed on the ceiling of the hall, each with a self-made jade magnolia-shaped lamp. The eight petals of the flower lamps are made of glass steel and the corolla is carved with crystal glass. The "Pujiang Banks at Dawn" mural on the main wall of the west side is 7.9 meters wide and 3.05 meters high, and uses a unique point-color technique to collect 400,000 small pieces to form a magnificent painting of the Pudong New Area. The stone carving "sandboat" pattern on the top of the small doors on both sides of the painting is an important symbol of the opening of Shanghai. The north and south screens are decorated with 32 patterns using the modeling of Shanghai's white jade magnolia, reflecting the policy of reviving the country through science and technology. The "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter" flower-lined wall niche on the east wall symbolizes the flourishing and prosperity of all flowers blooming. The "Shanghai Night Scene" long satin embroidery, 10.5 meters wide and 1.5 meters high, depicts the dazzling night Bund buildings and corresponds with the "Pudong Dawn" in the hall.
HUBEI Hall
Through analysis of Chu culture, we delve into the concept of Chu culture. In terms of design concept, traditional regional culture and Chinese modern fashion culture are blended. This creates a space that is unique to Jing-Chu culture, characterized by a dignified Eastern flavor and an elegant, understated materiality.
Drawing from traditional philosophical theories, the principle of heaven, earth and roundness is adopted, shaping the sky flower design, which combines square and round shapes, and highlights a central-focused, rounded square shape. The oak-like design of ancient traditional architecture components is evolved and utilized around the blooming flower to enhance its tension.
In terms of modeling, several levels are created with the use of solid and hollow components that conceal light, making the blooming flower design rich and not heavy, as if floating in the air. The central axis is symmetrical left and right, and it incorporates traditional Chinese architectural forms with a grand atmosphere. The facade design emphasizes the layered facade, reflecting the 5000-year-old Chinese culture, broad and deep, containing wisdom-filled philosophical principles and extraordinary, unsophisticated ideas. This is exactly what we are pursuing in the space – reserved, dignified, noble and emitting a strong Zen-like atmosphere.
We choose typical examples from the Jing-Chu region and express them through artistic techniques, effectively bringing out the space's mood.
