About Ningbo Urban Construction Archives Argiefgebou

Ningbo Stedelike Konstruksie-argief is 'n argiefgebou geleë in Ningbo-stad, Zhejiang-provinsie, China. Die ontwerp vertolk die geskiedenis van die stad as 'n geskiedenis van konstruksie. Geboue word verstaan as samestellings van blokke, sodat die argief saamgestel is uit gestapelde blokke wat die eienskappe van ruimte en materiaal kombineer. Die blokke word in drie tipes gegroepeer: deurskynend, soliede en spesiale blokke. Die terreinoppervlakte is 6567 vierkante meter, met 'n vloeroppervlakte van 17190 vierkante meter op elf vlakke bo die grond en 6405 vierkante meter op twee vlakke onder die grond.

Unique Properties: This design hopes to interpret history of Ningbo through a practice of fortification. Base on the understanding of urban and architecture, architects superimpose the two properties of 'space' and material to support the concept of Building Blocks from another new perspective, and this is used as a basic element of design.'Blocks' are divided into three categories: 'transparent', real and special block differently.
Dimensions & Packaging: The total site area is 6567 sqm, which contributes 17190 sqm floor area on the ground and 6405 m2 floor area underground, with 11 floors and 2 floors respectively.

Design Challenge: Archives, which is regarded as an important culture carrier of collecting and preserving history, has abundant historical and cultural significance. Ningbo Urban Development Archives is mainly used to collecting developing history of this city, that it is called “Fortification History”. So, the start of design in this project is how to represent the concepts about fortification.
Inspiration: City is composed by buildings, and buildings are constructed from different building blocks, which have special space and material attributes; hence, the history of city construction can be understood as history of fortification, and Ningbo Urban Development Archives is a collector of this history of fortification indeed. Base on the understanding of the city construction, we superimpose the two properties of 'space' and 'material' to support the concept of 'Building Blocks'.
