SLT was invited to create an offline architecture space sited at Tiexiangsi region in Chengdu for IQIYI homemade TV show “The Fourtry”. The space would be a fusion of Chinese traditions, avant-garde culture and top-level international art, revealing the love of trending culture and attitude towards fashion from the new generation of China.
According to the requirements of the program group, the architecture should be equipped with four main functions, which are fashion display, art exhibition, café region and guiding work area.
The design should be flexible in order to meet the requirements of art exhibition arrangement in the shooting process and the spatial compatibility of cross-border cooperation with international top artists.
On this basis, the existing ancient building space is far from meeting these functional requirements; we need to combine the old and new spaces to create the possibility of dialogue for the occurrence of trends and cultural collisions.
Based on the concept of "Flow", the design adopts a lightweight architectural intervention to give the ancient building a sense of vitality: two light white space blocks represent the trend and life, which meet in this traditional place as the best response to the revival of life and the rebirth of the trend.
The rise of white roofs is a modern interpretation of the cornices of traditional architecture, ensuring continuity in the spirit of the place.
In view of the original wooden structure of the ancient building, we retained its structure to the maximum, and only reshaped the necessary facade to outline the structure of the traditional building through light without using too much extra decoration.
The scene design of the interior space of ancient buildings follows the principles of modesty, balance and restraint.
