The Design

About International Islands Sentro sa Komperensya

Ang International Islands usa ka sentro sa komperensya nga nahimutang sa Zhoushan, Lalawigan sa Zhejiang, China. Ang Maritime Silk Road mao ang nag-unang tema sa disenyo. Ang porma sa bilding naggikan sa mga tradisyon sa Tang ug Song ug nagsagop sa klasikong proporsyon ug sumbanan sa atop ug bungbong sa Dinastiyang Tang. Ang gamay nga nakakiling nga mga bungbong nagsunod sa tradisyonal nga pamaagi sa baga nga ubos nga mga haligi ug nipis nga taas nga mga haligi. Ang puti nga bato sa patukoranan nagkalahi sa natural nga kolor sa cornice. Ang naglatas nga porma nagsumpay sa mga bukid ug sa dagat, ug ang usa ka abli nga koridor sa talan-awon nagdala og kahilamnan ngadto sa siyudad.

Unique Properties: For design, Maritime Silk Road is shown as the main clue from beginning to end. The spanning building form ties up the mountains with the sea in the west and in the east, The open landscape corridor is created for greening the city. The building form which derives from Tang and Song traditions adopts the classic ratio and pattern of the roof and wall in the Tang Dynasty which is solid and stable. The white stone at the bottom of the building and the natural-color cornice set each other off.
Dimensions & Packaging: Cellular aluminum sheet's lightness, high intensity and high flatness guarantee the flatness of the large aluminum curtain wall. Meanwhile the reflections of the surroundings further strengthens the sense of floating. The cellular stone breaks the area limit of natural stone with a size of 1.2m wide x 2.2m high. It also can be used on the dropping ceiling which ensures the integrity of the entry space and renders a unusual drop-off experience.

Production Technology: The white stone at the bottom of the building and the natural-color cornice set each other off beautifully,Corresponding to the sea wind of Zhoushan Islands, The wood and rubble, glass and metals are either classic or modern, gentle or vigorous and powerful.
Design Challenge: In terms of the design idea, we tried to take "Conference Center in the park" as the core. Looking for design basis from the historical context and geographic and custom features from the city of thousand islands. Trying to explore the conference site building that accords with the local style, customs and historical context. Carrying out the people-oriented practice between history and the contemporary era, the region and civilization.

From the project's technolgy in design, we used the Cellular aluminum sheet, which breaks the area limit of natural stone with a size of 1.2m wide x 2.2m high. It also can be used on the dropping ceiling which ensures the integrity of the entry space and renders a unusual drop-off experience.

In landscape design, manifesting different courtyard themes in the park, and integrating different elements into one. The landscape which can be found inside and outside integrates with the scattered small-volume buildings, Connecting the park concept with the green axis landscape, the building volume is lightened and hidden in the landscape, providing the park with open public activity places.
Research: Permanent site of International Islands Tourism Conference, Choosing Dongsha Parcel, Zhujiajian, Zhoushan as the site. With the sea in the southeast, and surrounded by mountains in other directions. Westin faces Zhoushan Islands from afar in the north, and Putihai has been built in the south . In the intersection, the concept of "Conference Center in the park" initially comes into being.

With Chinese and foreign envoys arriving and departing, businessmen from different countries delivering goods, and religion believers doing missionary work, “Maritime Silk Road” finally surpassed the vast sea and became the tie connecting China and the world over two thousand years ago. Starting in Qin and Han Dynasties, flourishing in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Different civilizations mainly crossed the East China Sea, and reached Zhoushan Islands directly.
Inspiration: The building form which derives from Tang and Song traditions adopts the classic ratio and pattern of the roof and wall in the Tang Dynasty which is solid and stable; The slightly-inclined wall design adopts the traditional building design of Shoufen (thick bottom pillars and thin top pillars) and double pillars, The wall is the extension of the pillars while the foundation is simple and powerful.
Project Duration: The project started to design in 2016 in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province, China and finished in 2017.
Operation Flow: For design, Maritime Silk Road is shown as the main clue from beginning to end. Forming the spatial pattern in which the courtyard governs the park, and nature mingles with the building, Integrating the regional styles along Maritime Silk Road into the park. Manifesting different courtyard themes in the park, and integrating different elements into one. The landscape which can be found inside and outside integrates with the scattered small-volume buildings, Connecting the park concept with the green axis landscape, the building volume is lightened and hidden in the landscape, providing the park with open public activity places. The spanning building form ties up the mountains with the sea in the west and in the east, The open landscape corridor is created for greening the city.
