The Design

About Ningbo Urban Construction Archives Bâtiment d'archives

Les Archives de la construction urbaine de Ningbo constituent un bâtiment d'archives situé dans la ville de Ningbo, province du Zhejiang, en Chine. Le projet interprète l'histoire de la ville comme une histoire de la construction. Les bâtiments y sont appréhendés comme des assemblages de blocs : les archives se composent ainsi de blocs empilés qui associent les qualités de l'espace et de la matière. Ces blocs se répartissent en trois types : transparents, massifs et spéciaux. Le terrain couvre 6 567 mètres carrés, pour une surface de plancher de 17 190 mètres carrés répartie sur onze niveaux hors sol et de 6 405 mètres carrés sur deux niveaux en sous-sol.

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'.
