项目 - 在北京798艺术区的核心地带，槃达建筑重新构想了蜂巢当代艺术中心，将其转变为一个超越工业原貌的纯白色圣地。在建筑师孙大勇的带领下，这3300平方米的改造项目标志着艺术空间"3.0版本"的关键时刻。

该项目大胆地剥离了建筑的工业遗迹，用明亮的、极简主义的环境取代了原始工厂的美学，优先考虑艺术和精神体验。汲取万神殿和现代主义大师如阿道夫·路斯 (Adolf Loos)等建筑大师的灵感，设计将空间提炼到最纯粹的本质。

孙大勇的概念围绕三个定义性的"W"展开：白色（White）、重量（Weight）和意志（Will）。全白色的内部创造了一个中性画布，让艺术作品成为焦点，而入口处灵感来自卡尔纳克神庙的戏剧性柱廊，增添了建筑的庄重感。主展厅中的网格状屋顶结构进一步强化了这种秩序感，精心放置的发光薄膜营造出一种空灵、庙宇般的氛围。

这次的设计不仅仅是美学上的改造，还以细致入微的细节重新构想了功能空间。二楼的走廊充当景观桥梁，为参观者提供独特的内部视角，而像大厅和阅读区这样的开放空间，彰显了艺术中心对公共参与的承诺。

通过将一个前工业空间转变为当代艺术殿堂，槃达建筑不仅仅创造了一个画廊，更是开辟了一段穿越光线、空间和艺术表达的精神之旅。

Location: Beijing, China

Project - In the heart of Beijing's 798 Art District, Penda China Architecture has reimagined the Hive Center for Contemporary Art as a pristine white sanctuary that transcends its industrial origins. Led by architect Sun Dayong, the 3,300-square-meter renovation represents a pivotal moment in the district's evolution, marking what the design team calls the "3.0 version" of the art space.

The project boldly strips away the building's industrial heritage, replacing raw factory aesthetics with a luminous, minimalist environment that prioritizes art and spiritual experience. Drawing inspiration from architectural icons like the Pantheon and the philosophies of modernist masters such as Adolf Loos, the design distills space to its purest essence.

Dayong's concept revolves around three defining "W"s: White, Weight, and Will. The all-white interior creates a neutral canvas that allows artworks to take center stage, while a dramatic colonnade at the entrance—inspired by the Karnak Temple—introduces a sense of architectural gravitas. A grid-like roof structure in the main exhibition hall further reinforces this sense of order, with carefully placed luminous films creating an ethereal, temple-like atmosphere.

The renovation goes beyond aesthetics, reimagining functional spaces with meticulous attention to detail. A second-floor corridor acts as a landscape bridge, offering visitors unique perspectives of the interior, while open areas like the lobby and reading spaces emphasize the center's commitment to public engagement.

By transforming a former industrial space into a contemporary art haven, Penda China Architecture has created more than just a gallery—it's a spiritual journey through light, space, and artistic expression.

Design Team - Founded in 2013, Penda China Architecture has emerged as a forward-thinking architectural practice that seamlessly blends innovation, sustainability, and artistic expression. Headquartered in Beijing, the firm has distinguished itself through a commitment to what they term "LESS IS LOVE" – a design philosophy that prioritizes ecological values and harmonious relationships between human environments and architectural spaces.

Led by co-founders Sun Dayong and Chris Precht, the practice has consistently pushed the boundaries of architectural design across diverse project typologies. From cultural institutions to residential and commercial spaces, Penda has developed a reputation for creating transformative architectural experiences that transcend traditional design paradigms.

The firm's approach is characterized by a multidisciplinary methodology, integrating architectural, landscape, and interior design with a keen focus on ecological sustainability. Their portfolio demonstrates an extraordinary ability to capture the zeitgeist of contemporary design, collaborating with prestigious brands and receiving international recognition.

Notably, Penda has been repeatedly selected for the AD100 list, received the Architizer+ Awards for Emerging International Design Firm in 2016, and has been nominated for prestigious awards including the Dezeen Awards. The practice's commitment to innovative design has positioned them as a significant voice in the global architectural discourse, representing the evolving landscape of Chinese contemporary architecture.

With a vision that extends beyond mere built form, Penda China Architecture continues to challenge conventional design paradigms, creating spaces that are both intellectually provocative and deeply human-centric.
