About Village Hall Publikong Multifunctional nga Bilding

Ang bilding tinuyoan nga naglikay sa tradisyonal nga istilo sa arkitektura, ug naggamit ug modernong mga materyales ug istruktura. Ang usa ka dako nga naglutaw nga atop naghiusa sa pormal ug impormal nga mga luna sa simple nga paagi, sama sa usa ka higanteng abli nga payong. Aron makab-ot ang naglutaw ug gaan nga pagbati, ang dako nga atop nga puthaw kinahanglan dili lang mobuntog sa dagkong mga kantileber ug mga gitas-on, apan kinahanglan usab nga magpabilin nga nipis ang mga kabahin kutob sa mahimo. Uban sa daghang mga inobasyon sa istruktura, usa ka hybrid nga istruktura nga nagsundog sa mga kantileber sa payong ang naporma.

Unique Properties
The building intentionally avoids the vernacular architectural style, and applies modern materials and structure. A big floating roof unifies the formal and informal spaces in a simple way, like a giant open umbrella.
In order to achieve the floating and light feeling, the big steel roof not only needs to overcome the large cantilevers and spans, but also needs to keep member as slender as possible. With several structural innovations, a hybrid structure mimics umbrella cantilevers are formed.
Dimensions & Packaging
The building area is 1370 square metres

Design Challenge
In order to realise the sense of floating of the big black roof, the building is structurally innovative. The roof, as an overall stress system, not only has to overcome the difficulties of large overhangs and spans, but also has to make each rod as slim as possible to maximise the sense of lightness and composition of the rod structure.
Research
Based on the Grasshopper plugin extension tool on the Rhino platform, Karamba3D force analysis and form finding technology were used to explore the tools and paths suitable for architects to carry out structural form design in the scheme stage, and successfully completed the structural form design of asymmetric complex roof shapes.
Inspiration
In traditional Chinese housing, the main hall called ‘Ting Tang’ is the most important family space for public activities. It usually has a formal architectural gesture, with tall, dark and semi open space.
Inspired by this, the village center is considered as the ‘main hall’ for the whole village. Besides a multifunction hall for formal public activities, the building also provides lots of open spaces to encourage social interaction between villagers and tourists.
Project Duration
The project started in 2021 in China and finished in 2023 in China, and the project address is Xiangtang Village, Pukou District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province
Operation Flow
This is a public event centre building, capable of meeting the daily needs of meetings, exhibitions, receptions and other
meeting, exhibition, reception and other daily needs.
