An integral landmark within the Dawei Village Revitalization Masterplan, the Spiral Gallery re-imagines a former farmhouse site into Hefei’s first art institution dedicated to Mother Nature. By integrating biophilic design and prairie vistas into the museum experience, we envisioned a new curatorial concept where visitors can discover beauty within the Anhui prairies through the lens of art. Like a primeval tree trunk unraveling its rings, the gallery borrows the outdoor scenery to exhibit artworks against a living backdrop, empowering artists to tell immersive stories about our natural world.
