Completed in 2018, The Fuzhou Strait Culture and Art Center by PES-Architects takes inspiration from the petals of a jasmine blossom, the city flower of Fuzhou. The flower is manifested in the formal language, and the color of the architecture takes inspiration from the petals of a jasmine blossom, the city flower of Fuzhou. “Dividing the large complex into smaller units gives the Centre a more human scale and makes it easy for users to navigate indoors and outdoors. Each building has a core area — a semi-public, curved gallery that follows the curvature of the main façade — that integrates the public interior space with the landscape of the Jasmine Gardens around the building and further with the Mahangzhou island nature reserve in front of the Centre.” Says Pekka Salminen, Founder of PES-Architects. 📸 Photographs: Marc Goodwin, Yong Zhang, Martin Lukasczyk #parametricarchitecture#arch_shovel#archdaily
