Chongqing Jiangshan Yun Chu Gallery | LWK + Partners
Designed by LWK + PARTNERS, Riverbend by the cliff is a symbolic setting in the Chongqing area. As a living gallery, the project is a trial for and response to localized architecture. It explores the spatial interaction between nature and geographical traits in an urban context.
The gallery is close to the Jialing Riverbank. The two riverbeds that face different directions influence the urban texture in its vicinity and forms a grand natural setting for the urban area. The site sits coincidentally on the highest point of the cliff, allowing visitors to get a full view of the Riverbend and a bird-eye view of the future Yue Lai core TOD district.

The initial concepts all seemed rather out of place or dull in the natural environment in spite of multiple scenario-based trials until the designer encountered a visit to the project site at twilight hours. When scattering gold and crimson light painted the city in monotone, the mountains and river alone shone through, drawing the unmistakeable spotlight ? the right path became apparent. Going back to the essence of design, responding to the context and nature, the design slowly revealed itself.
Limited design language was amplified into the usage of cliffs, riverbeds, sunsets, and mountains: the building form replicated the shape of the Riverbend and mountain, using a simple curve to draw a stream in the sky. The triangular site also showed a clear sense of direction due to the curved cut across it.
