About Kirin Island 展示センター

麒麟島は、中国山東省済寧市に位置する展示センターである。本建築は工業団地の第一期として計画された。センターは初期段階では計画展示および投資誘致のために用いられ、その後は周辺の公共空間と連続する都市展示ホールへと転用される。設計は「天円地方」の思想に基づき、方形の建築が円形の中庭を内包する構成となっている。スパン18.6メートルのフレーム・シアウォール構造により、柱のない室内空間を実現した。南北両面に設けられた10.3メートルのオーバーハングが、半屋外の空間を形成している。

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.
