Exhibition Gallery
Memories of Water

Exhibition Gallery for China Resources Land Limited

The “Memories of Water” sits on a beautiful seashore in Qingdao, China, developed by China Resources Land, as a life style exhibition gallery, where people can appreciate the ocean scenery. The project blurs the boundary of space, and strengthens the interaction between visitors and the sea by creating architecture reflecting the water, the blow of wind, changing light, and shimmering sounds. The cantilever floating design allows visitors to enjoy the panoramic ocean view. The theme of the architecture is to go beyond its simple form like the ocean but to host people’s memories.

Unique Properties

With the prime location of the site, which situates by the shoreline in Qingdao, China, the design is to create a relationship between natural environment and the architectural space. With the advantage of the site location, the architecture provides a space for visitors to enjoy the dramatic and panoramic view of the ocean, meanwhile experience nature within the urban area.

Production Technology

The building uses curtain wall system and steel fins on the first floor to minimize the structure as well as to offer panoramic view with minimal visual disruption. On the second floor, the ultra-transparent glass is installed without any fins or frames to show no boundary between indoor and outdoor space. Cantilever structure is used for a dramatic floating effect.

Design Challenge

The most difficult part of the design is to figure out how to create communication between people, nature, and the architectural space not only visually, but also aurally, tactilely, and through the other senses of body.

Project Duration

The project started in July 2019, and finished in May 2020 in Qingdao, China.

Operation Flow

Having water landscape, with the motion of waves and reflection, around the building allows a smooth transition between the outdoor and the indoor, as well as from the urban area to the nature.

Research

Given the fact that the site is the last available waterfront site in Qingdao, the uniqueness of the site and the surrounding environment were taken into consideration. Wind flow and the minerals in the air (which contains quite amount of sodium) were also well researched as these conditions would affect the design of the building and the material choices.

Inspiration

The inspiration came from the beautiful ocean view in the urban city of Qingdao. The designers utilized the scene and water to create a dialogue between humans and the architectural space, and unites nature and architecture as one.
