Loop of Wisdom Museum
Architects: Powerhouse Company
Location: Chengdu, China
Living up to the suggestiveness of its name, the Loop of Wisdom embodies a timeless architectural concept. Powerhouse Company?s design for a technology museum and reception center for a new neighborhood in Chengdu, China, is much more than an exuberant landmark. In addition to its obvious aesthetic appeal and cultural program, the fluid structure incorporates a spectacular public space ? an undulating rooftop trail. This addition makes the Loop of Wisdom an accessible icon, rather than a remote beacon. It invites people to explore it and make it part of their regular walking or jogging routine.
Designed as a continuous ring, the loop?s form is archetypal and universal; organic and geometric; enigmatic yet instantly recognizable. While the client initially wanted a temporary building, they were so impressed by the quality of the design, its delicate relationship with the landscape and its elegant lines, that they decided it must become a permanent fixture. The Loop of Wisdom?s design transformed the idea for an ephemeral structure into a vision of a long-lived and inherently sustainable one.
