About Memories of Water 전시 갤러리
'물의 기억(Memories of Water)'은 중국 칭다오 해안선에 자리한 전시 갤러리이다. 이 건축물은 도시적 환경 속에서 바다의 파노라마 전망을 제공한다. 1층에는 스틸 핀을 적용한 커튼월 시스템을 사용하여 구조체를 최소화하였다. 2층에는 핀이나 프레임 없이 초투명 유리를 설치하여 실내와 실외 공간의 경계를 최소화하였다. 캔틸레버 구조는 건물이 떠 있는 듯한 효과를 만들어낸다. 수공간이 건물을 감싸며 도시에서 자연으로 이어지는 전환을 부드럽게 완화한다. 총 건축 연면적은 1,800제곱미터이다.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- With the prime location of the site, which situates by the shoreline in Qingdao, China, the design is to create a relationship between natural environment and the architectural space. With the advantage of the site location, the architecture provides a space for visitors to enjoy the dramatic and panoramic view of the ocean, meanwhile experience nature within the urban area.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Gross build area: 1800 sqm
- Tags
- Architecture, Exhibition gallery, Civic
- Production Technology
- The building uses curtain wall system and steel fins on the first floor to minimize the structure as well as to offer panoramic view with minimal visual disruption. On the second floor, the ultra-transparent glass is installed without any fins or frames to show no boundary between indoor and outdoor space. Cantilever structure is used for a dramatic floating effect.
- Design Challenge
- The most difficult part of the design is to figure out how to create communication between people, nature, and the architectural space not only visually, but also aurally, tactilely, and through the other senses of body.
- Research
- Given the fact that the site is the last available waterfront site in Qingdao, the uniqueness of the site and the surrounding environment were taken into consideration. Wind flow and the minerals in the air (which contains quite amount of sodium) were also well researched as these conditions would affect the design of the building and the material choices.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration came from the beautiful ocean view in the urban city of Qingdao. The designers utilized the scene and water to create a dialogue between humans and the architectural space, and unites nature and architecture as one.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2019, and finished in May 2020 in Qingdao, China.
- Operation Flow
- Having water landscape, with the motion of waves and reflection, around the building allows a smooth transition between the outdoor and the indoor, as well as from the urban area to the nature.
