The Design

About Kirin Island Ausstellungszentrum

Kirin Island ist ein Ausstellungszentrum in Jining, Provinz Shandong, China. Das Gebäude bildet die erste Bauphase eines Industrieparks. Das Zentrum dient in der Anfangsphase Planungsausstellungen und der Investitionsförderung und wird später zu einer städtischen Ausstellungshalle, die mit dem umgebenden öffentlichen Raum verbunden ist. Der Entwurf folgt der Vorstellung vom runden Himmel und der quadratischen Erde, sodass ein quadratischer Baukörper einen runden Innenhof umschließt. Eine Rahmen-Schubwand-Konstruktion mit einer Spannweite von 18,6 Metern schafft einen stützenfreien Innenraum. Auskragungen von 10,3 Metern an der Nord- und Südseite bilden halboffene Außenbereiche.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The project is the first phase of Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Industrial Park of Jining High-tech District, which will be used for planning exhibition and investment promotion of the industrial park in early stage, and transformed to be an urban exhibition hall integrated into the surrounding public space in later stage. Put forward six design concepts:" Round and Square, Axial Symmetry, A Floating Box, Kylin-Like Exterior, Integration of space and Beyond the Bounds".
Dimensions & Packaging: Total land area: 7234.47m2
Gross floor area: 3920.01m2
Floor area ratio: 1.85
Height: 16.6m
Floors: 3 (3 above the ground and 0 underground)
Tags: Public service buildings, Hometown of Confucius and Mencius, Round and Square, Axial Symmetry, A Floating Box, Kylin-Like Exterior, Integration of space, Beyond the Bounds
Production Technology: The building is a frame-shear wall structure,with a north-south overhang of 10.3m and a span of 18.6m between the two traffic cores in the middle. The long-span structure realizes a pillar-less indoor space and creates a broad and through overall space. The far-reaching overhangs on the north and south sides create a semi-outdoor activity space for the public.
Design Challenge: The building is a frame-shear wall structure, with a north-south overhang of 10.3m and a span of 18.6m between the two traffic cores in the middle. The design and construction of large span concrete structures need to overcome many design difficulties and innovative implementation. Local culture is integrated into the design. Other decorative elements are excluded except Kirin scales to emphasize simpleness of the facade and material texture. The curtain wall design needs to solve many technical problems of oblique support and division.
Research: The project is located in Jining, Shandong Province, occupying a superior geographical location surrounded by residential and commercial office areas with complete transportation and supporting facilities. To make full use of street corners and surrounding resources, the build is designed to be a cuboid from the macro perspective of urban design, and realizes good orientation and visibility at all interfaces through lifting, twisting, protruding, retreating and overhanging.
Inspiration: The design of the project focuses on the culture of Jining, the Hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the City of the Grand Canal, and reinterprets traditional regional elements by modern techniques to create a modern and simple architectural form with regional characteristics.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2020 and finished in October 2021 in Jining City, Shandong Province, China.
Operation Flow: The design is based on the relationship between "round sky and square earth" to create a "square" building with a "round" courtyard to achieve a pure and quiet atmosphere. The project realized regional expression with modern formal language, restrained structure, space and materials, and rebuilt the relationship between tradition, nature, architecture and human. It has become a focal point of the region, and the first business card of Kylin Island of Jining High-tech District.
