About Samaranch Memorial 博物館
サマランチ記念館は、サマランチ氏を追悼し、オリンピック精神を伝えるために建設されたミュージアムです。デザインはオリンピックの五輪マークに着想を得ており、交差する2つの円が主要建物を形づくり、さらに3つの円が沈床式の中庭となって、付加的なスポーツ空間を内包しています。無限大（∞）を思わせる形状の内部には、スロープ状のループ動線が設けられ、エントランス、展示エリア、屋上庭園、サービス機能を一連のシークエンスとして結び付けています。館内にはこのほか、講堂、企画展示ホール、ウィンターガーデンも備えています。エネルギー消費を抑えるため、自然採光についても詳細な検討が行われました。

- Production Technology
- Considering land form and project features, we present a theme park with multi dimension experiences. We put much effort on landmark building design and public space design and create an experience space. Functional space is put in place according to exhibition sequence. Roof garden has become a nature transition between interior and external space. Landscape and architecture are integration of traditional Chinese and western style with different space feelings every step you are forward.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge is how to reduce energy consumption. At the beginning of the design, we decided to use as much natural light as possible for design. We calculated the position and intensity of sunlight entering the courtyard and indoor windows, and performed simulation experiments on thermal load, glass surface orientation and position to obtain the most economical and efficient solution, which will save more than 84% of energy, and also makes temperature and lighting more suitable.
- Research
- In order to balance his own present mind and has a need for commemorating time event and people passed to understand his own present and future condition, Challenge is how to avoid the exhibit and content itself not becoming outdated and rather constantly renewing the perspective to our ever changing present. In other words, how to extend a legacy of the modern Olympics only into a life celebrating institution as Olympics.
- Inspiration
- The original intention is to build a green building that commemorates Mr. Samaranch, inherits the Olympic spirit, expresses sports and sustainable. It was transformed through the five Olympic rings: the main building presents two intersecting circles, and the other three circles transform into a sunken courtyard. The "8" shape commemorates the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The "S" shape stands for "Samaranch"; the third is that the shape symbolizes Infinity and eternity.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2011 in Tianjin and finished in 2013 in Tianjin, China
- Operation Flow
- The building should grow with people and the environment. The supporting commercial buildings are integrated into the landscape to protect the overall natural landscape and form a large and varied experience space. In addition to showing the collection of Mr. Samaranch's life, the memorial also has a lecture hall, temporary exhibition hall, winter garden, etc., which can be used to hold various conferences, seminars, exhibitions and other activities.
