Wuhan Qianzishan Waste-to-Energy Power Plant
Description
Located in the hilly terrain of southwest Wuhan suburbs sits the Qianzishan Waste-to-Energy Power Plant. In this project, the architects engaged the entire design process with a unique perspective, exploring and presenting new possibilities for industrial architecture. Machines form the core of industrial architecture. Their functional precision, efficiency, rationality, and logic collectively manifest human intelligence, creating a unique aesthetic experience. Guided by this ‘machine aesthetics’ philosophy, we reinterpreted the plant's machinery as refined ‘artworks’. Inspired by the ‘art unveiling ceremony’, the upper facade adopts a soft, dynamic form resembling a lifted ‘curtain’, revealing the internal machinery as ‘exhibits’ through transparent glass walls to visiting publics. The ‘curtain’ is formed by overlapped scale-like glass panels, creating fabric-like folds. The ‘scales’ use pale green fritted glass with dot-matrix mirror coatings, superimposing strong and weak reflections, generating psychedelic light interplay.
