The Monologue Art Museum designed by architecture firm Wutopia Lab is located in the green park of SEATOPIA in Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, China. The project, completed in July 2022, is dedicated to an infinite minority of people who want to be free from worldly distractions.
The proposal creates an island in the middle of the sea where people can enjoy moments of solitude. In an open green space at the intersection of three residential clusters on the Weilan Coast campus, the building is made up of different monoliths combined with walls, corridors and ambiguous spaces in one place with a triangular shape.

The new museum designed by Wutopia Lab is mainly made up of three geometric volumes: the rectangular dance studio, the circular yoga studio and the oval theatre, all symmetrical and regular with excellent seismic behaviour.
The project plays with light, shadows and colours. The interior and exterior walls are made of glass, solid walls and brick walls with flowers. In the small entrance theatre, light breaks through the corners and enters the art gallery. The open hallway reveals a tranquil water patio and a colourful yoga room.

Project description by Wutopia Lab
Wutopia Lab has been commissioned by Sino-Ocean Group to create a monologue art museum on the park green of SEATOPIA in Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, dedicated to an infinite minority of people who want to be free from worldly distractions. It was completed and opened to the public in July 2022.
01 Monologue
Queen Dido created the great Carthage by cutting cow skin into thin strips and circling a piece of land. In an open green space at the intersection of three residential clusters in the Weilan Coast campus, I broke up the 1,300 square meter building into different monoliths combined with walls, corridors and ambiguous spaces into a triangular-shaped 3,600 square meter place, the Monologue Art Museum.
02 Even More Charming
Side A
The Monologue Museum is a slowly unfolding hand scroll. Starting from the small entrance theater where the light breaks through the corners, entering the art gallery, the quiet water courtyard slowly reveals itself along the open corridor with shifting lights, passing through the colorful yoga room to the bright art gallery (exhibition and painting rooms). Then the light fades, the path gets narrower, and you almost miss the tearoom hidden behind the wall. In the end, there is a dance studio. When you exit the building, you continue along the flower wall and wade through the water in the dappled shadows. The water runs through the center and diving the building, seemingly towards the sea. When I came across the small theater again, I saw six trees by the water, whispering and shaking their heads in the breeze. All the scenery including sounds and thoughts slowly unfolded into paintings.
Side B
Monologue Art Museum is a multi-function space. It allows different people to be in different spaces at the same time, but one can be alone in an artistic way. The plan is complex and irregular, and the structural design is not conducive to earthquake resistance. However, when the museum is divided, except for the art gallery, the rectangular dance studio, the circular yoga studio and the oval theater are all symmetrical and regular with excellent seismic performance. In this regard, Lao Hu (structural engineer) set up three seismic joints to divide them into four independent structural units. The expansion and deformation of the extra-long structure were released, reducing the heat stress, and avoiding structural cracks caused by temperature changes. Having to accept the seismic joints, I had to carefully design the nodes to conceal their presence on the roof, façade, and interior to ensure that my painting is visually continuous.

Wutopia Lab recibió el encargo de Sino-Ocean Group de crear un museo de arte monólogo en el parque verde de SEATOPIA en Beidaihe, Qinhuangdao, dedicado a una minoría infinita de personas que quieren estar libres de las distracciones mundanas. Se completó y abrió al público en julio de 2022.
01 Monólogo
La reina Dido creó la gran Cartago cortando una piel de vaca en tiras delgadas y rodeando un pedazo de tierra. En un espacio verde abierto en la intersección de tres grupos residenciales en el campus de Weilan Coast, dividí el edificio de 1300 metros cuadrados en diferentes monolitos combinados con paredes, pasillos y espacios ambiguos en un lugar de forma trangular de 3600 metros cuadrados, el Monologue Art Museo.
02 aún más encantador
Lado a
El Museo Monólogo es un pergamino manual que se despliega lentamente. Comenzando desde el pequeño teatro de entrada donde la luz irrumpe a través de las esquinas, entrando en la galería de arte, el tranquilo patio de agua se revela lentamente a lo largo del pasillo abierto con luces cambiantes, pasando por la colorida sala de yoga hasta la brillante galería de arte (salas de exposición y pintura). ). Luego, la luz se desvanece, el camino se vuelve más estrecho y casi se pierde el salón de té escondido detrás de la pared. Al final, hay un estudio de baile. Cuando salga del edificio, continúe a lo largo de la pared de flores y camine por el agua en las sombras moteadas. El agua corre por el centro y se sumerge en el edificio, aparentemente hacia el mar. Cuando volví a encontrarme con el pequeño teatro, vi seis árboles junto al agua, susurrando y moviendo la cabeza con la brisa. Todo el paisaje, incluidos los sonidos y los pensamientos, se desplegó lentamente en pinturas.
Lado B
Monologue Art Museum es un espacio polivalente. Permite que diferentes personas estén en diferentes espacios al mismo tiempo, pero uno puede estar solo de manera artística. El plan es complejo e irregular, y el diseño estructural no es propicio para la resistencia sísmica. Sin embargo, cuando el museo está dividido, a excepción de la galería de arte, el estudio de danza rectangular, el estudio de yoga circular y el teatro ovalado son todos simétricos y regulares con un excelente desempeño sísmico. En este sentido, Lao Hu (ingeniero estructural) dispuso tres juntas sísmicas para dividirlas en cuatro unidades estructurales independientes. Se liberó la expansión y deformación de la estructura extra larga, reduciendo el estrés por calor y evitando grietas estructurales causadas por cambios de temperatura. Al tener que aceptar las juntas sísmicas, tuve que diseñar cuidadosamente los nodos para ocultar su presencia en el techo, la fachada y el interior para asegurar que mi pintura sea visualmente continua.
