meeting room and finance room, as well
as tearoom and restroom, while exhibition
forum needs a clean and tidy large space;
According to the functional requirements
and the current situation of the building, the
high-rise area is taken as the office area,
the lower area in the south is taken as the
supporting service space, and the east side
of the high-rise space is originally a two-
story space, the first floor is for the front hall
and exhibition, the second floor is for the
conference and forum, and the second floor
is the roof of the supporting service space,
which forms a rooftop space. It’s a great
place for outdoor forum communication.
In terms of functional relationship, the office
hall with high space and the supporting
space with low height constitute the service
space and service space described by Louis
Kahn. The design deliberately distinguishes
between the materials and colors. The
service space (including tea room, rest
room, model room, printing room, meeting
room, etc.) adopts black tone, with red
numbers and local color of the room, such
as rest room cubicle Orange and dark green
inside; tiles in the tea room; yellow hole
board hanging board in the model room; and
the space to be served (i.e. the office hall
and the meeting room in the front hall, etc.,
are the space tonality rationally controlled
with pure white as the main color); the
service space adopts warm white light with
color temperature of 3000K, while the space
to be served adopts white light with color
temperature of 4000K; The service space is
inclined to sensibility, and the service space
is inclined to rationality; the full color and
dark space of the service space more foil
the pure white, towering and upward divinity
of the service space.
Perspective section
When the architect draws the sectional
drawing, he will paint the main part of
the building such as the cut-out wall
into gray light filling; therefore, around
the box protruding from the right side
of the mezzanine, he will also paint the
surrounding box section into gray paint. Its
purpose actually metaphors that here, like in
the drawing, is cut, as the architect wants to
express in the blueprint sectional drawing.
Metaphor: the perfect combination of plane
and section design Flow: space Montage
In architectural design, we usually start with
the plane layout first, but the high-rise space
characteristic of this project makes our
design consider starting from the section
at the first time: set the mezzanine in the
high-rise space, the height of the mezzanine
is 900mm lower than the original two floors,
its purpose is to form a perfect proportion
relationship in the high-rise space; in the
supporting service area of the ground floor,
the tea room and the model room building
The mezzanine rest room and model
material room are set on the upper floor,
but the mezzanine setting on the rest room
and meeting room is abandoned, so as to
keep the high and low rhythm of the space
and meet different views and feelings for
different spaces, such as the higher setting
of meeting discussion space, which is also
convenient for various discussions and
collisions. There were only two doors in the wall
between the low area and the high area of
the original building. The thick south wall
in the high area divided the high area and
the low area into two parts which are not
connected by the line of sight. The design
corresponds to the position of the platform
window on the second floor, and three
window holes are opened on the first floor
of the high area, which forms the interaction
between the service space and the served
space. At the same time, because of the
setting of the steel bookshelf, the wall
can be seen from the vision. The illusion
becomes very thick, which makes the space
on both sides continuous visually, but the
transition from one space to another is
like the processing of adding black cover
when the film switches the lens, and the
contrast of color temperature and black-
and-white color on both sides, which further
strengthens the “clip” lens processing.
