Kaleidoscopic wedding chapel offers colourful venue for adventurous couples in Shanghai’s G+PARK museum cluster
Shanghai’s G+PARK museum cluster has unveiled a colourful new wedding chapel, creating a kaleidoscope of colour for adventurous couples to tie the knot.
Designed by Coordination Asia, the Rainbow Chapel is made up of 3,060 glass panels painted in 65 bright translucent colours, surrounded by a square white structure partially open to the surrounding museum park. Both shapes are traditionally important in Chinese symbolism, with the circle representing fullness and unity, while the square represents honesty and virtue. The combination of the two creates a 'sense of perfection and luck.'
On a sunny day, the 6.8-metre-high (22.3-foot-high) cylinder, which is surrounded by a shallow pool, will create colour transitions across the spectrum, with tones of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and pink.
The museum park follows the theme of glass, with the Shanghai Museum of Glass and the Kids Museum of Glass also located on the campus.
