say architects: Located in a resort on the outskirts of Guangzhou, the Levitated Curtain is an iconic building for wedding ceremonies and public events. In Guangzhou, weddings usually start at 7 am, but the ceremony only begins around 6 pm, then Xi Hall will serve as a multifunctional space for dining, photo shooting, reception, and several other purposes during the day, and becomes a sacred place for the wedding ceremony at nightfall. When there are no weddings, Xi Hall which sits in the center of the resort will be a perfect location for sightseeing and allow public events for different occasions.
Wok Room. The unique streamline of Xi Hall was inspired by the Wok Room, a traditional residential architecture from the Lingnan area of China that featured with wok-handle-shaped pediment. A wok is a cooking pot originating from China, the hump in the middle of the pediment looks like the handle of the wok, then it is called Wok Wall, which helps to block the wind or the fire, and serves as the main bearing structure of a house.
The architect abstracted the shape of a wok wall and applied it to the east and west elevations of Xi Hall, by which two wok-wall-shaped openings were created, connecting the interior to the outdoor landscape. Between the walls with the special openings, there is a curved roof sloping towards the grassland in the north like an elegantly draped curtain.
Floating Curtains. Looking through the void of the“wok walls”, the dark curved roofs are floating and dancing like three curtains. The structure under the ceiling is painted white, almost invisible if you look at the building from the east or the west perspective;
