FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
JZ: It is more like a floating chip, an artificial cloud. But what is certain is that it brings great appeal to the community. An opportunity to become a city business card. Simple but changeable horizontal floors and transparent glass curtains are also a Mies style deconstruction.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
JZ: Those who enter the space can feel a beautiful expression of structure and space. The interaction between people and space achieves the goal of the highly flexible cross-cultural atmosphere.
FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
JZ: This award has given me a lot of encouragement. I will try to think about more design issues in this way.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
JZ: The project started in Guangzhou in April 2011 and was completed in March 2012.
FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
JZ: It was a group proposal.
FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
JZ: No company is currently in production for this design. I hope my design can be acquired.
FS: What made you design this particular type of work?
JZ: It is an interesting academic project for professors. We participated in research and design and wanted it to be able to land.
FS: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?
JZ: Christian Kerez's work, he innovatively combines structure and space. Introduce the right of structure to speak in architecture.
FS: Who is the target customer for his design?
JZ: Community government may be our target customer.
FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
JZ: As a social occasion for the new community in the future, it is more like a platform, providing the most friendly rather than closed urban living room for citizens.
FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
JZ: The public space at the center of the community determines the quality of the community. The relationship between the traditional building surface and cities and streets is alienated and overly clear. The key to breaking closed social relationships is building flexible building skins.
FS: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?
JZ: Rhino, adobe, vary.
FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
JZ: The irregular skin, the absolutely open ground-floor and the roof garden are the impression of the library. The compact core box will store a series of books and new media information.
FS: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?
JZ: I designed this project with my undergraduate students, and I developed the concept of this project to make it more mature.
FS: What is the role of technology in this particular design?
JZ: Suspended, but not supported, floor slabs were achieved in the optimization of the steel structure. It's a rethinking of technology and design relevance.
FS: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?
JZ: The project is based on technology and wants to use the advantages of technology to maximize the liberation of reading space and the re-interpretation of urban publicity.
FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?
JZ: The realization of structure has a decisive influence on the communication of concepts. The rationality and ductility of the steel structure need to be discussed.
FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?
JZ: Recommendation from my friend.
FS: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?
JZ: I explored the structural innovation and the future of architecture.
FS: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?
JZ: Almost.
FS: Thank you for providing us with this opportunity to interview you.
