The Design

About Guilin Udstillingscenter

Guilin er et kultur- og turismeudstillingscenter designet som en minimalistisk glaskube. Bygningen dækker 4021 kvadratmeter. Glasfacaden er opbygget med udkragede glasribber, der er placeret lodret i to tætheder og højder. Ribberne danner tre niveauer af bjergsilhuetter på facaden, der opleves som nære, mellemliggende og fjerne udsigter. Overlappende transmission, refleksion og refraktion mellem glaslagene skifter med lyset. Et bambusgalleri følger hovedruten inde i udstillingslokalet. Designet omdanner Guilins landskab til bygget form.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The building in the design draft remains a minimalist cube, and the only difference is that the curtain wall is processed in order to build a "landscape cube". The skillful use of artificial elements and abstract nature not only reveals the modernity of the showcased building, but also integrates the unique scenery of Guilin into the building.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 4021 square meters. The glass ribs rise and fall vertically, forming rolling hill shades on the building. Two set of glass ribs, different in density and vertical height, form three levels of hill shades on the building elevation, including the "close view", "medium view" and "distant view".

Production Technology: On the front plaza, the reflection of the building in water makes the building more layered and expressive. The vertical glass ribs are arranged evenly and projected vertically onto the glass curtain wall. Due to different locations and angles, there appears a difference in the abundant overlapped transmissions, reflections and refractions among the glass layers, and a subtly changing dramatic effect can be produced under different illumination conditions.
Design Challenge: One of the innovations of the project is the single use of glass to present the spatial structure and poetic conception of the landscape in Guilin using different construction methods and surface processing methods.
Research: The building curtain wall must not only show a spatial structure composed of distant, medium and close views, but also keep nightscape animation effects consistent with one another to avoid the appearance of "ripstop effects" caused by a stick curtain wall in nightscape lighting. After many discussions and technical communications, we finally decided to build a glass curtain wall with cantilever glass ribs.
Inspiration: The landscape in Guilin is the best in the world. Thus, the project of Guilin Culture and Tourism Exhibition Center deservedly chooses to highlight the theme of landscape. For this project, we hope to design it based on the landscape, express in a certain shape and endow it with a meaning, and use a pure glass box to arouse people's inner feelings for nature and landscape.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2016 in Guilin and finished in September 2018 in Guilin.
Operation Flow: China has a longstanding tradition of bamboo culture, and Guilin also abounds in natural bamboo resources. We have designed a bamboo gallery on the main sightseeing route in the showroom to create an artistic conception of bamboo forest.
