Glow Shenzhen 2021, with the curatorial subject “Searching for the Glow of the Future,” aims to integrate light art into urban life and release the energy of urban public space. Daxing Jizi has been invited to show their “Dream Glow Pavilion” architectural piece at the Shenzhen Universiade Center’s Glow Shenzhen’s Longgang area. The Universiade Center is approximately 990 meters broad from east to west and 1050 meters long from north to south, with a total area of 520,000 square meters, and serves as a significant exercise and recreational facility for the neighboring inhabitants. Throughout our study, we discovered a few small-scale structures for the public to rest in; inserting a modest, fun place inside the large center became our first design aim. © Chao Zhang
Dream Glow Pavilion’s Design Concept
We selected to locate the artwork in the Universiade Center’s central grass space. Although the green area was not intended for relaxation, residents have used it as a mini-park. When the weather is nice, people bring blankets and lunch on the grass, and the kids enjoy playing on the grass slope. We aim to serve the public effectively via our work, to provide entertainment for youngsters playing nearby, and to provide a pleasant environment for individuals strolling at night. During the show, it may also be used for small events like workshops, lawn concerts, and creative markets.
