HARBOURING AFFECTION

Renderings: Charles Wallon, Airstudio.

AZC Architects combine childish play with artistic functionality in these rendering for an arts pavilion in Hong Kong. Located in West Kowloon, the proposal overlooks Victoria Harbour and is designed to primarily be an exhibition space for art programmes until the neighbouring M+ Museum opens in 2017.

The design team explained: “our project envisions the Arts Pavilion as a place combining leisure and art, in creating a popular spot welcoming to all. We designed a space for learning, relaxation, and discussion; an architectural and cultural icon in the heart of the park.”

The space is created to be understated; the strength of the design is not to overpower any exhibition that is showing inside. To this purpose, floor-length glass windows encompass the whole building, and a perforated metal structure creates a broad and open atmosphere, allowing a large amount of daylight to stream in.

Circling the building is a merry-go-round, which climbs and falls on a waved platform, giving children a complete and inimitable experience of a famously stunning harbour.
