Poly City Gather Sales Center

The architectural vocabulary deployed within Melody Lau's Poly City Gather Sales Center activates profound symbolic resonances through its synthesis of geometric form, material selection, and light orchestration, the hourglass configuration of the central bronze sculpture carries archetypal associations with time's passage, transformation, and the meeting point between opposing forces or realms, traditionally understood as thresholds between upper and lower worlds or the compression point where energy transforms, the material choice of bronze or brushed copper introduces associations with durability, craftsmanship, and valuable metallurgical traditions spanning human civilization while its warm amber tonality suggests earth, harvest, and autumnal completion, the radial organization emanating from center activates mandala symbolism present across contemplative traditions representing cosmic order, psychological wholeness, and meditative focus, the oculus positioned at apex directly references sacred architectural traditions where openings to sky symbolize connection between earthly and celestial realms, passages for divine light to enter human-constructed space, the pleated surface treatment surrounding this central ensemble suggests both organic growth patterns observable in flower petals and seed heads as well as the meditative practice of paper folding where simple materials transform through geometric precision into complex dimensional forms, the restricted color palette of cream white with bronze accent speaks to purity, clarity, and the aesthetic philosophy of finding richness through restraint rather than abundance, quaternity appears in the four embedded lights creating cardinal orientation within the circular space, the upward gaze required to experience this composition physically enacts aspiration and contemplation, visitors positioned below naturally assume postures associated with reverence and wonder.

The designer strives to infuse space with life by balancing the functional layout, aesthetics and sensory delight. To do this, he takes simple shapes and bright elements from all nature. The dome creates a sense of infinite fantasy, where everything is unoccupied and people may observe anything in silence in the 12m high, 9m open atrium. This will bring them into an artistic realm of freedom. The midair corridor is unique in its natural beauty while the ceiling vein is designed as a landscape cycle. With these efforts, the symbiosis between nature, art, architecture and space is achieved.
