About Ningbo Urban Construction Archives Edifici d'Arxius

Text del llibre: L'Arxiu de Construcció Urbana de Ningbo és un edifici d'arxius situat a la ciutat de Ningbo, a la província de Zhejiang, Xina. El disseny interpreta la història de la ciutat com una història de construcció. Els edificis s'entenen com a conjunts de blocs, de manera que l'arxiu està compost per blocs apilats que combinen les propietats de l'espai i el material. Els blocs s'agrupen en tres tipus: transparents, sòlids i especials. La superfície del solar és de 6.567 metres quadrats, amb 17.190 metres quadrats de superfície construïda en onze nivells sobre el nivell del terra i 6.405 metres quadrats en dos nivells subterranis.

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'.
