Simple Art美术馆(Simple Art Museum)是一个当代美术馆,HAS Design and Research建筑事务所主持建筑师Jenchieh Hung与Kulthida Songkittipakdee提出一种崭新的文化思考,设计透过延续安徽传统建筑形式,萃取屋顶、山墙、园林等元素,转化成一个新的当代空间,兼具人文精神与生活交流。设计最终以漂浮并连续起伏的屋面,暗示着传统徽派建筑的山墙面,并将山墙起伏的形状,转化成建筑空间,从建筑外部延伸串联整个室内场域,形成一系列艺术文创展示空间,包括艺术展览、手作工作坊、多媒体影像、设计沙龙与咖啡茶饮等,而建筑本身也与内部自由流动的墙体,发生形式之外的空间互动,从而体现传统与现代之间的转译关系。Hung And Songkittipakdee(HAS)将南淝河特有的水波,巧妙的转换成空间感知,透过曲面的墙体与起伏的顶面,在午后夕阳光线渗透进入室内时,顶面有如还原南淝河特有的水波浮动,其光线倒映着内外上下整体空间,建筑本身犹如一幅抽象般的艺术画作。
Amid this cultural evolution stands the Simple Art Museum, a contemporary art museum that delves into the reflections of artists on society and the environment. Nestled in Anhui, China, in a burgeoning urban development on the old city's edge, the museum bridges the gap between past and present. The region, famed for its distinctive Hui-style architecture, is marked by iconic elements—roofs, gables, columns, and gardens—that tell the tale of its strategic cultural significance. As the city grows, the museum faces the challenge of infusing new cultural meaning while honoring the legacy of its historic roots. Architects Jenchieh Hung and Kulthida Songkittipakdee, founding principals of HAS Design and Research, present a fresh cultural vision through their innovative design. Drawing inspiration from Anhui’s traditional architectural forms, the museum reinterprets elements such as roofs and gables, transforming them into a contemporary space where the human spirit and social interaction converge. The design extends the essence of the Hui-style village, incorporating a floating, undulating roof that evolves from the inward-facing, fireproof gable into a symbolic structure, opening outward to embrace the public. This continuous form creates a seamless indoor environment for artistic expression, housing art exhibitions, galleries, workshops, multimedia rooms, design salons, and cafés. The architecture flows effortlessly into the interior’s curving walls, offering a graceful translation of tradition into modernity. Situated near the Nanfei River, often called the "Mother River of Hefei," the museum draws inspiration from the rippling waters that have shaped the region for millennia. Hung And Songkittipakdee (HAS) ingeniously capture this fluidity in their design, with curved walls and a wave-like roof mirroring the river’s natural rhythm. As sunlight filters through in the afternoon, the building becomes a living reflection of the Nanfei’s shimmering surface—an abstract masterpiece in itself. By day, the museum’s roof casts wide swaths of shadow across the external plaza, offering visitors a place to pause and reflect. In the afternoon, light seeps through openings, bathing the interior in a sacred glow, creating a space of ethereal beauty. By night, the museum glows from within, a beacon of belonging in the shifting urban landscape.
