MJH Gallery of iD Town By O-office Architects
深圳，艺象满京华美术馆 源计划建筑师事务所
满京华美术馆的前身是鸿华印染厂的整装车间厂房，其构想源于对这幢空置厂房空间纵横向剖面空间的重新叙事组织。新馆的空间植入延续了我们在艺象厂区的建筑介入策略——将原厂房框架看作一个巨大的开放“凉亭”，而将新的建造体独立地成长于原始内地坪之上，以营造一个多重内外的空间逻辑，并在“内”与“外”之间建立一个介于空间上新与旧、时间上过去与将来的特殊区间。
Formerly the packing workshop of Honghua Dying Factory, MJH Gallery was conceptualized from (re-)structuring the spatial narratives of this vacant building. The new architectonics was independently implanted onto the original inner ground of the old workshop, which was regarded as a large open concrete pavilion, in order to build the new multi-layered spatial/time logic into the industrial relic.
The inner core space of the gallery, the main exhibition hall, is lifted up in a black steel box in the center of the old building, under its special double-roof skylight, which gives gentle diffused top-light to the exhibition space. The enclosed exhibition box connects to the ground floor via two semi-glass halls. Several free-standing functional blocks, on the one hand, support the elevated mail hall, and on the other, define the ground space and functions that contain an entry show room, an auditorium, an art shop and related divide-able multifunctional spaces. The ground floor is open in all direction to the original ground of the factory, as well as to the surrounding natural landscape.
The main entrance of the gallery, with a half-open T-shape concrete box plugged-in, uses the original entrance on the south gable of the workshop, confronting a landscape pool that converted from the abandoned filtering basin of the factory. A sequence of landscaping walls, pedestrian and vehicle ramps cultivated from the topography were designed to link the gallery’s main entrance to the lower plaza that connects the suburban road. This landscape path from the plaza to the gallery detours between nature and artefacts, industrial and post-industrial landscape, through which, one could experience and memorize the whole time line of the site’s history.
