About Skylight Ornatus Interior Sedis Venditionis

Skylight est sedes venditionis in urbe Yiwu Sinarum, spatium sescentorum metrorum quadratorum complectens. Spatium interius profundum est, et aedificium magno pariete vitreo caret, itaque lux naturalis intus limitata erat. Lucernaria in tecto addita sunt ut lux diurna in interiora induceretur. Forma lucernariorum ad lacunar caelatum refertur, elementum ornamentale architecturae Sinensis traditae, ex figura putei abstracta ductum. Materiae et rationes traditae adhibitae sunt ut opus sumptu limitato perficeretur.

Production Technology
In this project, we did not use expensive materials or innovative technologies, but used a lot of traditional materials and technologies, so as to better complete the project at a limited economic cost.
Design Challenge
The biggest problem the project designer faced is that the interior space is relatively deep. Also, there is no large glass curtain wall on the exterior of the building, which blocks the natural light and leads to poor indoor lighting. The design strategy is to employ skylights and introduces natural light in through the fifth facade of the building, thereby solving the problem of insufficient lighting in the interior space.
Research
We deeply study the structure of caisson in traditional Chinese architecture, select the structure form of well shape, and abstract deformation of it. Deforms it through extracting and combing it with the skylight. Let light into the room. The ever changing light and shadow arouse people’s associations with life, awe and yearning for space.
Inspiration
The introduction of the skylight is inspired by caisson patterns, the decorative art of the ancient Chinese architecture. Caisson ceiling, the unique decorative part of the indoor ceiling in traditional Chinese architecture, not only represents the aesthetic value of the Chinese people, but also a spiritual symbol of the communication between heaven and mankind.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2020 inYiwu and finished in October 2020 in Yiwu, and was exhibited in Yiwu in October 2020.
Operation Flow
The project is located in the core area of Choujiang Street in Yiwu City, China, which is the central old town.The project is a community sales center. In order to solve the problem of insufficient lighting, the designer combined the skylight with the ceiling decoration art in traditional Chinese architecture, caisson. So as to meet both the function and the aesthetic requirements.
