About Folding Garden Грамадскі цэнтр

«Складны сад» — гэта грамадскі цэнтр, размешчаны ў Пекіне, Кітай. Суцэльная сцяна перасякае ўчастак па лінейнай і зігзагападобнай траекторыі, фарміруючы сад і адначасова служачы апорнай канструкцыяй. У выніку ствараецца цэласная ўнутраная прастора без калон. Калідор, які праходзіць з поўначы на поўдзень, злучае тры двары ўздоўж цэнтральнай восі. Будынак пакрыты плаўнай цаглянай кладкай, якая нагадвае гару ў лесе. Заглыбленыя двары дадаюць карысную прастору на кампактным участку. Агульная плошча зямлі складае 6421 квадратны метр, а плошча забудовы — 1403 квадратныя метры.

Unique Properties
"All in one go" is the highest state of Chinese painting since ancient times. We use a continuous wall to cut across the site. The linear and zigzag wall not only shapes the garden, but also serves as the supporting structure itself, creating a coherent indoor column-free space. at the same time, the corridor space that runs through the north and the south connects three scattered courtyard spaces in one go. Therefore, the building is also called "Folding Garden".
Dimensions & Packaging
Total land area: 6421 Square meter.
Total construction area: 1403 Square meter.
Floor area ratio: 0.22.
Building height: 5.5M.

Production Technology
The folding garden is covered by fluctuating flowing bricks, resembling a mountain in the forest.When the sun rises higher than the tree, shines on the flowing wall, there will appear a sequence of the light: gorgeous forest, shining green square, gorgeous straight eave, shining sinking courtyard. With the sun light, we sculptured a beautiful full viewed space scenery into a free geometry mountain.
Design Challenge
Due to the limited cost of the project and the heavier historical context, we have been trying to find a value standard between economy and practicality, so as to more accurately convey the atmosphere of the architect‘s ideal cultural place and make the space available for better service.
Research
Folding garden inherits the historical context of the site. The fundamental values of low-carbon, environmental protection and energy conservation in the building are dealt with in a way of dialogue with nature stance. Due to the scarcity and preciousness of land resources, the building also uses sunken courtyards to shape space, respects a free and open space value system, and uses this to organize community and urban public life.
Inspiration
Folding Garden is located in Beijing. How to inherit the traditional royal construction of the site, and at the same time make a clever translation of the huge garden system in a relatively compact space, is what architect are trying to answer in this "Garden Making Practice" the question is. The project hope to use pure geometric form to construct a place full of natural tension in the "folding garden".
Project Duration
The project started in 2017 in Beijing and finished in 2018.
Operation Flow
The courtyard is built around a straight central axis, and the internal and external relations of the three-entry courtyard are interchanged along the central axis.The one-stop path to the garden not only increases the user's travel distance , but also presents different visual experiences of the same garden from different angles—just as "there is a landscape in the garden, and there is a garden in the landscape".
