East Asian Cultures Fusion: An Grand Architectural Project in Nanjing
Share:
This project is located on a commercial street in the eastern part of Qinhuai District, Nanjing City. It is a spa store owned by a Thai investor working in China. Traditional classical structures and the Ma Tau Wall have been rebuilt to showcase local culture and recreate the original style of the southern part of the ancient capital of Nanjing, while also incorporating the distinctive, intricate details typical of Thailand.
The red bricks are arranged to reflect the relationship between space and material, interspersed with illuminated walls that hint at cultural and visual symbols. As night falls, thousands of lights illuminate the area. This represents blessings, a prominent feature embodying the traditional spiritual values of the region.
The design also pays special attention to weather resistance for the lightboxes, with square designs to match the geometry of the bricks.
The designers focused on traditional craftsmanship values and sought to present them from a fresh perspective. Some Thai characters are engraved on the bricks, adding a new personality to the structure.
