The first floor features Jia Ping-wa’s literature manuscripts, publications, paintings, sculptures and medals. It also shows some research results in literature and has become an important place for exchanging knowledge in Xian. On the other hand, we define the second floor as a multi-link and multi-program space. It is a non-profit art gallery for literature, painting collections, digital arts, imagery, academic, performance, cultural seminars, life education, workshop and café. A place for international development for chinese literature.
Project Innovation/Need
Since the interior height of two floors up to ten meters. The design strategy is to create three low display box, providing some special exhibition customized setting to diversification use. Sliding interfaces are inserted between each unit space, so these interfaces are created in order to provide diverse utilities for exhibition. Meanwhile, the strategy which reduces the height in the space is to cover AC equipment. Furthermore, via reducing the height, it is created a contrast between atrium space. The aim of creating the space is that we attempt to make differences and visual tension.
Design Challenge
After a turn into the main entrance, Immediately enter a black box surrounding as if time corridor. Through large-scale Calendar and interactive screen device embedded in the floor to narrative important works and cultural events of Professor Jia Ping-Wa. Thereby find out the achievement story that happened to Professor Jia. Furthermore, across to Algorithmic Design, nine hundred line type square pipe and metal tube lined with wire lamps.

Sustainability
The architectural design derives from Jia Ping-wa’s honest and reserved personality and also the cultural conflictions in his literature. It is a “ho-yuan” architecture descripted by contemporary terms as simple, hale and generous. The outer buildings are built with yellow-grey stones; a traditional style in the central shaanxi plain. Through sanding and scratching, the building is filled with a sense of deep history and, at the same time, reveals some contemporary atmosphere. Furthermore, we use a lot of timber materials in the interior to construct the space with warm textures and colors. It reflects Jia Ping-wa’s feeling for the change of village culture. Some parts have materials of darker colors or metals in order to increase tone and gradation in the space.
