Yu Qingcheng Gallery

To celebrate into the art museum design concept with emotional words to describe the “pinch mud,” rational word is manifold. Considerations in the design of the recent years made a summary proposes a new concept of “manifold”, a movement from beginning to end is full of changes and there are two or more different forms ends of the body, not the physical performance a result but a process, a constant flow of changes in physical space, from a static to a dynamic process, a temporal evolution process. A body growth process, not a focal point of the building, containing a change from linear to a nonlinear geometric configuration, both topological and fractal characteristics.Yu Qingcheng is a world famous original clay sculpture artist who is renowned in China and oversea, the unique style strike out a new line for himself.

To describe this design with the emotional word is “hold mud”, rational words is “manifold” The thinking is the main idea of the designer in recent years, he put forward a new concept of “manifold”. From first to last, the building is full of movement and has two or more different forms at the different ends, the form is not a result but a process, a continuous flowing and changing physical space, a process from static to dynamic, a temporal-spatial evolution process. A body growing process, a non-focus building, a geometrical composition from linear to nonlinear changes with both topology and fractal characteristics.

To celebrate into the art gallery space with ten architectural form changes;
1- mechanics – posture from static to dynamic,
2- differential – form until the song,
3- level – block descending,
4- optical – color from deep to light,
5- measurement – from thick to thin surface layer,
6- metering – wide to narrow the gap,
7- physical – texture from coarse to fine,
8- dimension – space from 2D to 3D,
9- characters – from temperament Sophie arrived,
10- philosophy – property from the female to the male.

Physical space of this gallery has ten changes;
1- Mechanics– the shape from static to dynamic,
2- Differential– line from straight to curve,
3- Level– block from large to small,
4- Optics –color from dark to light,
5- Measurement– surface layer from thick to thin,
6- Meterage– gap of each face brick from broad to narrow,
7- Physical –texture from coarse to smooth,
8- Dimension –space from two- dimensional to three-dimensional,
9- Character –temperament from rough to soft,
10- Philosophy– attributes from Yin to yang.

Form until the song, line from straight to curve :

Undulating surfaces, the curves :Texture from coarse to fine, texture from coarse to smooth :

American film critic Roger Ebert said, “everyone loves movies will eventually arrive Ozu horizon, to understand the essence of the film is the choice between motion and rest.”
American critic Roger Hubert said, “every people who love movies will eventually arrive at Yasujiro Otsu’s vision, grasp the essence to the film is the choice between movement and stillness.”
We used to be accustomed to that a building is either square or round \ bases on either straight line or curve, this building with both square and round \ straight line and a curve is not logical. Curve and linear are no longer in contrast, but changes from the homeomorphism, non-homeomorphic homotopy to a series of topological nonlinear transformation.
