Hangzhou by UNOLAI Design
Hangzhou’s Vanke Sky City Exhibition Center is a futuristic prototype house that integrates facade and landscape lighting with a dynamic art installation. An immersive approach sequence leads the visitor through watery corridors toward a luminous floating cube, where an interactive projection streams down to greet you. Through technical rigor controlling a complex projection lamp array, the juxtapositions between sensorial and digital, imaginary and real, are investigated playfully using architecture as a canvas. Vanke Sky City harnesses new media along with more traditional applications of light to evoke the peace and mystery of the natural world while delighting in futurism. It is a daring combination of conventional lighting and new media, executed with technical rigor and tasteful restraint, to harness this magic and offer a new experiential world to the viewer, rewriting their expectations of light.
