Project Name:Star River
Winner name:
BEIJING CENTRAL ACADEMY OF PUBLIC ART
Introduction:
The "Star River" conveys a poetic and vivid imagery. At the center of the roundabout, the river constructed under the starry sky offers a moment of contemplation for those busy individuals who may have forgotten to gaze at the stars in the urban hustle and bustle. As the night fades away, the star river transforms into the mountains and waters of Wuhan, dynamic and lively, guarding this land of hope.
Inspired by the Milky Way in the sky and incorporating the natural intentions of Wuhan's landscape, the design aims to softly and holistically express the visual intentions of nature and development, tradition and the future, concepts and technology. The sculpture is treated with warm white throughout, expressing people's pure imagination of the starry sky while forming a visual contrast with the colorful lights flowing at night. This further conveys that ancient Wuhan is becoming a future city leading global trends.
