The Design

About Cuiwan Zhongcheng Demonstratiezone, Gemeenschapscentrum

Cuiwan Zhongcheng is een demonstratiezone en later gemeenschapscentrum, gebouwd in Zhengzhou, China. Het gebouw staat op de kruising van twee kavels en opent zich naar de stad. Het ontwerp past het concept van de Möbiusring toe, waarbij een continue vierdimensionale vorm wordt vertaald naar een open, multidimensionale ruimte die tevens kan dienen als voetgangersbrug. Een staalconstructie draagt buitenwanden van hyperbolische aluminium platen, die in een fabriek worden vervaardigd en op locatie gemonteerd. Alle gebruikte materialen zijn koolstofarm, recyclebaar en milieuvriendelijk.

Unique Properties: From the perspective of the city, the project introduces the concept "Ring of Infinity - Mobius", and fuses the infinite four-dimensional form into the three-dimensional space in an abstract manner, hence creating a continuous, multi-dimensional, open, free, and art park-like venue where citizens can freely communicate with each other.
Dimensions & Packaging: Type of Construction: The steel structure ;
Project size: 22,905.60 sq. ft. ;
Net density: 24%
Tags: Youth, Future life scene, Steel structure, Ecological and sustainable development, Mobius, Seed
Production Technology: All materials used in the project are low-carbon, environment-friendly and recyclable. The building is dominated by steel structure. Hyperboloid aluminum plates, which are applied to the external walls, are customized by factory and then assembled on site, thus avoiding environmental pollution.
Hyperboloid aluminum plates are applied to the external walls that seem to grow in a three-dimensional world. This lives up to expectations that the architecture is as energetic as a seed.
Design Challenge: In the market, there are many assumptions and summaries about life scenes in a future community, and many projects have turned future communities into ecological residences. Digging into the deeper needs for future community was the project's biggest challenge.
We focused on the dwellers themselves, whilst also forming the complete design logic of "future - youth - a sense of instability - architecture's visualized expression - incorporation of future life scene".
Research: The thinking from the architecture, the block to the city provides design solution to the project. At the beginning of the design, we paid great attention to the conditions outside the site boundary line, and took into account landscapes, roads, urban resources and surroundings, so as to leave room for future possibilities.
Variations in the multi-dimensional form arouse uncertain imagination about the building, full of unexpected surprises.
Inspiration: The project is located at the junction of two plots, unfolding towards the city and showing future architecture, future traffic, future neighborhood and many other life scenes in future community. It is like a stage, giving its great performance and shouldering beautiful imagination about future community as well. It will function as a demonstration area at the early stage and as a "community center" at the later stage.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2020 and finished in September 2021 in Zhengzhou, China.
Operation Flow: The project will function as a demonstration area at the early stage and as a "community center" at the later stage. It can also serve as a pedestrian bridge. The project comprehensively takes present and future utilization needs into consideration, so that the building can be smoothly transformed without alteration
The design centers on the future dwellers, and adopts visualization techniques to suit property buyers' spiritual needs, aiming to interact with the buyers and evoke their resonance.
