The Design

About Ningbo Urban Construction Archives Arkivbygning

Ningbo Urban Construction Archives er en arkivbygning som ligger i Ningbo by, Zhejiang-provinsen, Kina. Designet tolker byens historie som en byggehistorie. Bygninger forstås som sammenstillinger av blokker, så arkivet er sammensatt av stablede blokker som kombinerer egenskapene til rom og materiale. Blokkene er gruppert i tre typer: transparente, solide og spesielle. Tomtearealet er 6567 kvadratmeter, med 17190 kvadratmeter gulvareal fordelt på elleve etasjer over bakken og 6405 kvadratmeter på to etasjer under bakken.

Unique Properties: This design hopes to interpret history of Ningbo through a practice of fortification. Base on the understanding of urban and architecture, architects superimpose the two properties of 'space' and material to support the concept of Building Blocks from another new perspective, and this is used as a basic element of design.'Blocks' are divided into three categories: 'transparent', real and special block differently.
Dimensions & Packaging: The total site area is 6567 sqm, which contributes 17190 sqm floor area on the ground and 6405 m2 floor area underground, with 11 floors and 2 floors respectively.

Design Challenge: Archives, which is regarded as an important culture carrier of collecting and preserving history, has abundant historical and cultural significance. Ningbo Urban Development Archives is mainly used to collecting developing history of this city, that it is called “Fortification History”. So, the start of design in this project is how to represent the concepts about fortification.
Inspiration: City is composed by buildings, and buildings are constructed from different building blocks, which have special space and material attributes; hence, the history of city construction can be understood as history of fortification, and Ningbo Urban Development Archives is a collector of this history of fortification indeed. Base on the understanding of the city construction, we superimpose the two properties of 'space' and 'material' to support the concept of 'Building Blocks'.
