Description
Liangzhu Culture and Art Center is located in Liangzhu Cultural Village, Yuhang District, Hangzhou City. It is an outstanding work designed and constructed by Tadao Ando, a well-known Japanese architect. He integrates Eastern aesthetics with Western architectural theories to express the concept of "emotion-based" space. The building fully integrates the building and the surrounding environment. In addition to the cherry trees planted between the water garden and the river, a large forest is also planted on the back of the building, making the building stand quietly in the nature. In order to blend in with the surrounding environment and echo the slope of the large roof, the landscape on the south side forms an undulating garden with a triangular geometry. Every year when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, it always attracts a large number of tourists. The culture and art center is divided into three functional blocks. The south side is the exhibition building with the function of the art gallery, the north side is the classroom building with educational functions such as training rooms, and the middle is the cultural building with the functions of the reading hall and library. Arranged under the big roof in a three-character layout. The four gardens in the Art Center are connected to each other and become the symbolic garden of Liangzhu Cultural Village. Various art activities are regularly held here, and it has become a temple of art in the town.
