Metal-Wrapped Exhibition Spaces

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Trace Architecture Office Creates a Structural Steel Wrap

— March 6, 2024 — Art & Design
The In-Between Pavilion in China gets a unique metal mesh veil wrapped around the space done by the Trace Architecture Office in Shenzhen China. The Beijing studio creates the structural form around the exhibition space and it rests between two buildings in the busy Nantou area. The museum is committed to exploring "the relationship between political power and geography." TAO wanted to create something that was transient and blurred the visual between the indoor and outdoor space as well as public and private.

The studio explains the design process throughout time, stating "Over the years of construction, Nantou presents an active state of rapid change – constantly regenerated by temporary and fragmented additions and revisions, reflecting the unique vitality of the urban village. The design breaks free from a stable and enclosed state in pursuit of lightness and flexibility, responding to the transient environment."
