About International Islands Foibe Fihaonambe

Ny International Islands dia foibe fihaonambe hita ao Zhoushan, Faritanin'i Zhejiang, Shina. Ny Lalan'ny Lasoa an-dranomasina no lohahevitra fototry ny famolavolana. Ny endriky ny trano dia avy amin'ny fomban-drazana Tang sy Song ary mampiasa ny tahan-drefy sy lamina mahazatra ny tafo sy ny rindrin'ny Tarana-mpanjaka Tang. Ny rindrina mitongilana kely dia manaraka ny fomba nentim-paharazana amin'ny andry matevina eo ambany sy andry manify eo ambony. Ny vato fotsy eo amin'ny fototra dia mifanohitra amin'ny sisin-tafo miloko voajanahary. Ny endrika mitatra dia mampifandray ny tendrombohitra amin'ny ranomasina, ary ny lalantsara midadasika feno zavamaniry dia mitondra hamaitso ho an'ny tanàna.

Unique Properties
For design, Maritime Silk Road is shown as the main clue from beginning to end. The spanning building form ties up the mountains with the sea in the west and in the east, The open landscape corridor is created for greening the city. The building form which derives from Tang and Song traditions adopts the classic ratio and pattern of the roof and wall in the Tang Dynasty which is solid and stable. The white stone at the bottom of the building and the natural-color cornice set each other off.
Dimensions & Packaging
Cellular aluminum sheet's lightness, high intensity and high flatness guarantee the flatness of the large aluminum curtain wall. Meanwhile the reflections of the surroundings further strengthens the sense of floating. The cellular stone breaks the area limit of natural stone with a size of 1.2m wide x 2.2m high. It also can be used on the dropping ceiling which ensures the integrity of the entry space and renders a unusual drop-off experience.

Design Challenge
In terms of the design idea, we tried to take "Conference Center in the park" as the core. Looking for design basis from the historical context and geographic and custom features from the city of thousand islands. Trying to explore the conference site building that accords with the local style, customs and historical context. Carrying out the people-oriented practice between history and the contemporary era, the region and civilization.

From the project's technolgy in design, we used the Cellular aluminum sheet, which breaks the area limit of natural stone with a size of 1.2m wide x 2.2m high. It also can be used on the dropping ceiling which ensures the integrity of the entry space and renders a unusual drop-off experience.

In landscape design, manifesting different courtyard themes in the park, and integrating different elements into one. The landscape which can be found inside and outside integrates with the scattered small-volume buildings, Connecting the park concept with the green axis landscape, the building volume is lightened and hidden in the landscape, providing the park with open public activity places.
Research

Westin faces Zhoushan Islands from afar in the north, and Putihai has been built in the south . In the intersection, the concept of "Conference Center in the park" initially comes into being.

With Chinese and foreign envoys arriving and departing, businessmen from different countries delivering goods, and religion believers doing missionary work, “Maritime Silk Road” finally surpassed the vast sea and became the tie connecting China and the world over two thousand years ago.
