About Memories of Water Выставочная галерея

«Воспоминания о воде» — выставочная галерея, расположенная на береговой линии в Циндао, Китай. Здание открывает панорамные виды на океан в условиях городской среды. На первом этаже применена система навесных фасадов со стальными ребрами жесткости, что позволяет минимизировать видимость несущих конструкций. На втором этаже установлено сверхпрозрачное стекло без ребер и рам, благодаря чему граница между внутренним и внешним пространством практически исчезает. Консольная конструкция создает эффект парения. Водный ландшафт окружает здание и смягчает переход от города к природе. Общая площадь застройки составляет 1800 квадратных метров.

Production Technology
The building uses curtain wall system and steel fins on the first floor to minimize the structure as well as to offer panoramic view with minimal visual disruption. On the second floor, the ultra-transparent glass is installed without any fins or frames to show no boundary between indoor and outdoor space. Cantilever structure is used for a dramatic floating effect.
Design Challenge
The most difficult part of the design is to figure out how to create communication between people, nature, and the architectural space not only visually, but also aurally, tactilely, and through the other senses of body.
Research
Given the fact that the site is the last available waterfront site in Qingdao, the uniqueness of the site and the surrounding environment were taken into consideration. Wind flow and the minerals in the air (which contains quite amount of sodium) were also well researched as these conditions would affect the design of the building and the material choices.
Inspiration
The inspiration came from the beautiful ocean view in the urban city of Qingdao. The designers utilized the scene and water to create a dialogue between humans and the architectural space, and unites nature and architecture as one.
Project Duration
The project started in July 2019, and finished in May 2020 in Qingdao, China.
Operation Flow
Having water landscape, with the motion of waves and reflection, around the building allows a smooth transition between the outdoor and the indoor, as well as from the urban area to the nature.
