About GAFA Changgang Admin Bldg Design Famolavolana ny Ati-trano Birao

Ny GAFA Changgang Admin Bldg Design dia fanavaozana ny ati-tranon'ny tranobe fitantanan-draharaha ao amin'ny Toeram-pianarana Changgang. Mandrakotra habaka ati-trano eo amin'ny 3600 metatra toradroa eo ho eo ao anaty tranobe misy rihana efatra ity tetikasa ity. Ny famolavolana dia mitahiry ny andohalambo malaza amin'ilay rafitra tany am-boalohany ary manampy valindrihana fitaratra vita amin'ny vy tsy harafesina voadio toy ny fitaratra, rindrina fotsy porselana, singa vy aloia ary jiro mangatsiatsiaka. Ny haavon'ny valindrihana voafetra sy ny hazavana voajanahary tsy ampy dia voavaha amin'ny alalan'ny taratra sy ny fanitarana ara-pahitana. Nampiarahina amin'ny akora maoderina ny mari-pamantarana ara-tantara.

Unique Properties: 1.The design draws inspiration from inheriting and reinterpreting the historical symbols of the GAFA Changgang Campus Administration Building. By preserving the iconic arch, introducing mirrored ceilings and porcelain-white walls, it addresses spatial constraints and poor lighting, creating an elegant, transparent, and pristine atmosphere. The fusion of tradition and innovation endows the public space with renewed value.
Dimensions & Packaging: Interior area: approximately 3600 square meter
Building area: 4 floors, 4000 square meter

Production Technology: The key challenge of this project was enhancing indoor lighting and ceiling height while preserving the original structure. To address this, we employed mirror-finished stainless steel materials. The installation of the mirrored ceiling and ensuring its flatness presented the most difficult aspects of the project. After installing the ceiling joists, the factory safely transported the mirrored ceiling panels to the site. Welding components connecting to the joists were then attached to the back of the stainless steel panels. Using a hoist system, the panels were lifted into place and installed.
Design Challenge: The creative and research challenge of this project lies in balancing the continuation of historical architectural symbols with the infusion of modern design language within limited spatial and contextual constraints. It requires preserving iconic elements such as arches while employing innovations in mirrors, light, and materials to address cramped space and insufficient lighting, ultimately achieving harmony between tradition and modernity.
Research: By adopting design approaches such as mirrored ceilings, porcelain-coated finishes, and alloy steel structures, the project addresses issues of insufficient lighting and low ceiling height. Through inheriting the historical style while embedding modern symbols, it creates an elegant, transparent, and pristine spatial atmosphere, reinforcing the unity of functionality and aesthetic value.
Inspiration: The design draws inspiration from inheriting and reinterpreting the historical symbols of the GAFA Changgang Campus Administration Building. By preserving the iconic arch, introducing mirrored ceilings and porcelain-white walls, it addresses spatial constraints and poor lighting, creating an elegant, transparent, and pristine atmosphere. The fusion of tradition and innovation endows the public space with renewed value.
Project Duration: From July 2023 to November 2023, completed.
Operation Flow: Through mirrored reflection and spatial extension, combined with arch symbols, porcelain-coated finishes, alloy steel structures, and cool lighting, the design achieves symbolic implantation, visual guidance, and spatial optimization in environmental renovation.
