The project vision is to use urban art as medium and catalyst for city upgrade and redevelopment, promote aesthetic education for better public spaces, urban art and life style. Hence, It helps rebrand the old city identity for greater exposure and understanding through this new art portal.
City Stage of Light – It is a new cultural venue for contemporary art exhibition and for aesthetic education. The new simple cube replaces the traditional “white box” not only in appearance, but also in its intrinsic and interpenetrating spatial quality. Catering for various art programs requirement, we create a series of functional boxes organized around the vertical public atrium. The venue becomes a museum without wall and boundary for Visitors to experience the space under the brightly lit skylight atrium. The building massing honesty reflects the stacking space and functions within. Inspired by the shimmering quality of the Yuan River and indigenous roof tile craftsmanship, we use faceting aluminum cladding modules to create an animating envelope effect from various viewing angles and daylight conditions. The You Art Center also reflects the aspiration of a Utopia where people lead an ideal existence in harmony with nature. It becomes a place or venue open for public engagement and participation.
