About Tianmianshang パビリオン
天面上（ティエンミエンシャン）は、広東省恵州市に位置するパビリオンである。このパビリオンはオレンジ畑の背後に佇み、自然の中で静かに憩う場所を提供している。設計では、床・屋根・天井、そして内部と外部という一般的な区分に疑問を投げかけている。うねるように波打つ床面と屋根面が、いくつもの閾（しきい）空間を生み出す。4枚の主要な壁は、不規則に配置された2枚のコンクリート壁とコンクリート柱によって結ばれ、空間の境界を曖昧にしながら内部に重層性を与えている。屋根は、簡潔なラインをもつ単一の軽量鉄骨構造で構成されている。

Behind the Design

- Unique Properties
- Art Institute School of Xiaoyan wants to challenge the notion of floor, roof/ceiling, interiority and exteriority. The undulating floor and roof/ceiling create various threshold spaces within. Planar permutation of walls and columns makes interiority versus exteriority a little harder to parse. AIXY hopes this design becomes a stimulus for an organic formation of partiality from the users towards various subspace within, against the backdrop of a seemingly uniform-in-concept arrangement.

- Production Technology
- Its column, using concrete structure, in addition to the four main walls created for the interior space, also added two irregularly arranged concrete walls, which are not simply used to separate the space but blur the boundaries of the space, forming a spatial structure from unorganized to shaped. This design not only enhances the stability of the building but also gives the whole space more layers of change.
A one-piece, lightweight steel structure is used for the roof. This design not only visually presents clean and smooth lines but also strengthens the sense of unity and lightness of the building as a whole, making the building seem to float in the surrounding natural environment. It not only conforms to the aesthetics of modern architecture but also interprets the architectural concept of man and nature. - Design Challenge
- This project was completed by the students and tutors of Art Institute School of Xiaoyan, during which the communication and design of the program, as well as the coordination between the students was challenging.
- Research
- When a space is abstracted to its elementary components, people are given a chance to decompose and re-examine these components on a more fundamental level.
Since mankind adopted the concept of shelter as a tradition, “the threshing floor was a place of work but also a place of gathering, dancing, ritual, and worship” (Elements of Architecture, Rem Koolhaas).
Art Institute School of Xiaoyan intended for the project to be a space of action and gathering. Approaching the request with its intended abstractedness, they want to challenge the notion of floor, roof/ceiling, interiority and exteriority. The undulating floor and roof/ceiling create various threshold spaces within. Planar permutation of walls and columns makes interiority versus exteriority a little harder to parse. They hope this design becomes a stimulus for an organic formation of partiality from the users towards various subspace within, against the backdrop of a seemingly uniform-in-concept arrangement. - Inspiration
- From plaza to apartment floors to parliament floor, the idea of floor has been a fundamental symbol for action, be it the more private types or more public types such as a place for negotiation, congregation. Similarly, the roof or ceiling (in this case Art Institute of Xiaoyan is intentionally obscuring the distinction between the two), is the reciprocal of floor, completing the concept of a sheltered space, and has evolved in recent years to being an envelope for practicality (hidden structural system, HVAC system, false ceiling etc)
- Project Duration
- It is located in Huizhou City, Guangdong Province.
- Operation Flow
- Art Institute School of Xiaoyan wants to create a space that breaks traditional boundaries, a building that is not just a physical entity but an experience. This pavilion is situated behind an orange grove, where people can temporarily disconnect from the hustle and bustle and experience nature.
