| DESIGN NAME: HONOR OF CHINA Sales Center PRIMARY FUNCTION: Sales Center INSPIRATION: Through the enclosure and openness of space, the designer makes the sales center no longer look rigid, brings the building a unique cultural charm, and turns it into a floating sculpture through the design of site, space, light and shadow. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The sales center has two floors and a total area of 2,700 square meters. The most difficult part of the design work is to make a strong visual impact in a limited space, and meanwhile not exerting excessive pressure on the city and streets. Therefore, the designer put more contents on the second floor, and built it into a structure of cantilever. Thus, more spaces are released, a feeling of floating and a sense of art are created. While solving the space and function problem, the designer also ensures the inclusiveness and friendliness of the city and streets. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Light and Shadow: During the day, the side facing the street has a strong sculptural sense, including the gray space under the large cantilever, and waterway with reflection. The hollow design of the inner atrium creates an open urban space and a flexible exhibition area. Through the interaction between space and light, the designer tries to enrich the contents and experiences in the limited area. At night, on the second floor, the lighting effect on the walls emphasizes the floating feeling of the building, while the bottom space only has basic lighting on the path for the passers-by. The building brings the people inside a feeling of tranquility, and also arouses the curiosity and exploration desire of the passers-by. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in June 2016 and finished in August 2018. The project is located in Nanjing, China FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The contrast between the light and transparent glass on the first floor and the thick and steady stones on the second floor brings out a strong visual impact and a floating feeling. In order to increase the sense of art and weaken the pressure and rigidity due to the heavy volume, on the second floor, the same kind of stone but three different mechanisms are used to form the rippled surface, with the help of natural light and lighting, different shades appears on the building, and the vertical combination brings rhythm to the facade. In the second floor, the inner atrium uses U-glass as the facade material to create a tranquil beauty of natural light. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Functions and spaces are combined naturally and ingeniously in the sales center. At the entrance, there are two concavoconvex stone walls, with a limited height that won’t obstruct the view of passers by on the sidewalk. The stone steps twist upwards, bypassing the first stone wall, the waterway with water wave can be seen. The low stone walls separate the sales center from outside noise, and the turbulent water can sooth the nerves. Architecture needs to be integrated with region. The heavy stone is implying the Ming City Wall and the waterway on the ground implies the wave on the Qinhuai River, echoing the deep and unique history of Nanjing. The stone and water replaces the usual gate, not making a construction, but achieves a more ideal effect.
