Project Overview:
Nanjing Metro Line 7 Qingliangshan Station is located at the intersection of Guangzhou Road and Hugu Road, with the planning of Line 13 channel interchange. The station is deeply embedded in Qingliang Mountain, using the combination of open and concealed excavation method technology, local excavation up to seven layers deep, its arch-shaped structure is constructed into the deepest station of Nanjing Metro.
The ancient name of Qingliang Mountain is Stone Mountain and Stone City, which is an important historical and cultural site in Nanjing. In 211 A.D., Sun Quan built a city on Stone Mountain and set the capital at Jianye (Nanjing), opening a new era of Nanjing's founding as the capital.
Design creativity and presentation:
The subway Qingliangshan Station adopts modularization and assembly, which consists of copper-colored dragon scale shapes, and the huge arches are as graceful and majestic as swimming dragons. The design breaks through the sense of separation between space decoration and public art, forming a combination of wholeness, originality and artistry in rail transportation design. In the space decoration, the design adopts diamond-shaped modules, cross-arrangement along the arch structure, which is like a swimming dragon in the sky, the golden scales emerge the sense of visual impact and cultural imagery.

The shape of the ceiling centerpiece and the lighting interpretation show the dragon in the mountains of Qingliang Mountain, sometimes sleeping and hibernating, sometimes the sky is open, so that the artwork is given the characteristics of life, but also reflects the moment when Sun Quan opened up the sky and built the capital here.

The painted reliefs on the wall and the ceiling light fixtures form an interplay between heaven and earth in terms of location, realistically reproducing the cracks, gaps and rough texture of Nanjing's city walls, as well as the recorded text in Yangcheng, making the whole work based on the logic of narration and the precipitation of time. The artwork also poetically expresses the heritage of the ancient city of Nanjing with a modern aesthetic composition, creating a heavy and lyrical field.
The two artworks are a combination of motion and static, and the collection of heaven and earth, vividly interpreting the dragon coiling majesty of Qingliang Mountain, showing the king's temperament, and revealing the heritage of the ancient city. Through the deep excavation of local culture, as well as the expression of contemporary art and technological empowerment, the past, present and future of Nanjing are echoed in the space of the track.
