Production Technology
The building is a frame-shear wall structure,with a north-south overhang of 10.3m and a span of 18.6m between the two traffic cores in the middle. The long-span structure realizes a pillar-less indoor space and creates a broad and through overall space. The far-reaching overhangs on the north and south sides create a semi-outdoor activity space for the public.
Design Challenge
The building is a frame-shear wall structure, with a north-south overhang of 10.3m and a span of 18.6m between the two traffic cores in the middle. The design and construction of large span concrete structures need to overcome many design difficulties and innovative implementation. Local culture is integrated into the design. Other decorative elements are excluded except Kirin scales to emphasize simpleness of the facade and material texture. The curtain wall design needs to solve many technical problems of oblique support and division.
Research
The project is located in Jining, Shandong Province, occupying a superior geographical location surrounded by residential and commercial office areas with complete transportation and supporting facilities. To make full use of street corners and surrounding resources, the build is designed to be a cuboid from the macro perspective of urban design, and realizes good orientation and visibility at all interfaces through lifting, twisting, protruding, retreating and overhanging.
Inspiration
The design of the project focuses on the culture of Jining, the Hometown of Confucius and Mencius, the City of the Grand Canal, and reinterprets traditional regional elements by modern techniques to create a modern and simple architectural form with regional characteristics.
Project Duration
The project started in November 2020 and finished in October 2021 in Jining City, Shandong Province, China.
Operation Flow
The design is based on the relationship between "round sky and square earth" to create a "square" building with a "round" courtyard to achieve a pure and quiet atmosphere. The project realized regional expression with modern formal language, restrained structure, space and materials, and rebuilt the relationship between tradition, nature, architecture and human. It has become a focal point of the region, and the first business card of Kylin Island of Jining High-tech District.
