The project is located in Wuhan Optics Valley High-tech Industrial Park, mainly used as a public exhibition hall and shared living room functional space in the park. The buildings surrounding this building are high-rise, homogeneous office spaces, reflecting the requirements for maximum production and maximum efficiency—similar to the form of the “living machine” advocated by Le Corbusier in “Towards a New Building”, square volume, dense windows, and the infinite extension of the domino system—which is repetitive and uninteresting. Fortunately, the architectural design company gave this exhibition hall a slightly different oval appearance, intending to implant an alien shape in the square box volume group, and its inner space also reached a height of 9 meters.
The design masters a degree: it does not fill all the space functions; Instead, relying on this semi-blank space, it lays a foundation for some uncertain functions behind. With the passage of time, there are more possibilities here in the future, making the space variable and expandable.
The function is not so specific, and the space is very empty, a bit like the life of everyone surrounded by boring videos such as TikTok today, boring and empty. This reminds me of Malevich’s manifesto of supremacism: “The visual phenomena of the objective world are meaningless in themselves, meaningful things are emotions, and meaningful emotions have nothing to do with the environment in which they evoke.” This kind of emotional supremacy is the pursuit of creative art.
