| DESIGN NAME: Oriental Movie Metropolis Theater PRIMARY FUNCTION: Exhibition Hall INSPIRATION: The proposal concept comes from a conch-one of the oldest marine creature.Combined with the unique marine culture of QINGDAO, the Show Theatre creates an abstract and dynamic shape with verti calconch texture. Standing by the sea, the Show Theatre and the Grand Theater are in a beautiful contrast. They look the same, but with some changes.One is quiet,and one is lively, which adds a lot of vitality. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: "The heart is on the ground and natural, responding to the next era", the Show Theatre takes it as the core aesthetic principle and starting point of inspiration. In terms of locality, environmental perception and the spirit of the times, it is demonstrated through architectural performance functions with customization, material shaping systems, and orderly, complex and elegant spatial organization. The curvilinear form language implies multi-level metaphors. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: In history, Qingdao was the hometown of Dongyi's marine civilization, the important place of the "Nation of Sea King" in the Spring and Autumn Period, and one of the earliest prosperous places on the Maritime Silk Road. Modern Qingdao is vigorously implementing marine cultural revitalization projects, marine cultural inheritance and development projects, and image enhancement projects. These will help build a marine cultural brand and a famous coastal cultural tourism city. A brand-new cultural, tourism and performing arts product not only enables citizens and tourists to feel the unique charm of the world’s top art performances, but also better meets their strong demand for night life in the island city. It also further enhances the city images of Open, Modern, Vibrant and Fashion, which promotes and spreads Qingdao culture as well as Qilu culture. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project was completed on January 18, 2019 and officially opened on April 29, 2019 in Qingdao. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: At the beginning of facade design, the Show Theater shape was defined as a hyperboloid of negative Gaussian curvature with different curvatures everywhere. It brings great difficulty to the subsequent processing, and also causes the high cost of curtain wall processing. According to the basic design principles defined by related structural design and morphological requirements, and through the establishment of Grasshopper-assisted design logic, we optimize the traditional basic surface morphology defined by the orthogonal UV direction, and achieve a positive design optimization of construction-oriente SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Project size: 231424 sq. ft TAGS: locality；dramatic; Cultural symbols； Parametric design；BIM technology RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Dominated by the initial design concept, the project applies the forward BIM methodology to introduce the parametric control of spatial curves in the very first stage of design. Integrating the artistic design of form as well as the construct of NURBS curves and surfaces, the elegant double shells concept fits well with the function of theater. During the whole design and construction process, forward BIM technology is used for the design communication and file control, which enable s the best translation of the initial design concept to the final built structure of the theater as well as the combination of art and technology. CHALLENGE: In order to realize the design concept, the Show Theatre adopts a spirally ascending curve form covered with a full glass curtain wall to express the natural texture of the conch. This structural form determines that most of the glass are hyperboloid, and require customized processing. During construction, the complexity of the components and the requirements for installation accuracy are very high, the installation and positioning of a large number of special-shaped glasses are difficult, and the deformation of complex steel structures is difficult to control. In order to ensure safety, there are high requirements on the precision of steel consumption, displacement control and synchronization during the construction process.
