HUNAN XIANGJIANG NEW AREA CITY GALLERY

A slightly glossy metal box floats on the banks of the Xiang River

Project Location | Hunan Xiangjiang New Area City Hall
Construction Time | 2024

At Yanghu National Wetland Park, Li Zijian Art Museum and Xie Zilong Image Art Museum are both super “internet celebrity check-in points” in Changsha. Now, a new museum has been added here – the Hunan Xiangjiang New Area City Museum. The “three museums” are interconnected and functionally complementary, forming a highly popular cultural landmark in the new area. The project is led by Professor Wei Chunyu from Hunan University as the chief architect, and its exterior design resembles a floating ‘magic box’ on water.

The building uses foam aluminum plate, a “special curtain wall material”, to create a slightly shiny metal box floating on the edge of the Xiangjiang River. The TS team combines the characteristics of the materials, uses the magic of light to make the box emit a romantic effect like the sparkling water of the Xiangjiang River from the inside, and combines the precise projection technology, so that the box’s geometric aesthetic sense is added with a perfect gradual change of light and shadow, with a touch of the romantic color of Hunan in the eternity and stability.
