About Xixi Endliess Garden Večnamenski klub

Xixi Endliess Garden je večnamenski klub, umeščen v mokrišče Xixi v Hangzhouju na Kitajskem. Tradicionalna struktura paviljonov in hodnikov opredeljuje stavbe, prostore in funkcije. Paviljoni stojijo znotraj mokrišča in so med seboj povezani s hodniki. Škatlasta struktura brez osrednjih stebrov dodaja moderen značaj tradicionalni obliki. Bele stene in sivi okvirji oken sledijo gradbeni tradiciji južne Kitajske. Gradbena površina obsega 5.642 kvadratnih metrov. Načrtovanje omejuje velikost stavb in cest, da se zaščiti izvirna ekologija mokrišča.

Production Technology
As to the planning of Xixi Art Village, the project team discussed a lot in earlier stage and in hope to protect the wetland in a more ecological manner, showcasing its original forms while preserving native landscapes. At last, the strategy of respect wetland with minimum intervention was adopted in general planning and design, which includes strict control over the size of constructions and roads, utilization of existing road system and more walks complemented with few electrical vehicles.
Design Challenge
Designer insists on adopting the style of normal constructions, hoping that such constructions could fit into the landscape, and takes great care upon the size of construction, fitness of nature and the protection of original ecology. Hangzhou represents the most of China southern tradition and Xixi Wetland thus attracts most of southern men of letters. Here, the constructions should represent more of its culture and natural landscape.
Research
The Project locates at Hangzhou Xixi Wetland, where the ancients used to seclude from the outside as it enjoys both cultural elegance as well as the unique landscape of the south, representing both natural scenery and human affections for waters. Designer believes that only by adopting the concept of nothingness could make the design of Xixi more natural and smooth.
Inspiration
Traditional structure of pavilion and corridor is adopted in defining entire construction, space and function, making such construction a pavilion in the wetland and landscape connected by corridors and showcasing charm of China tradition; box like structure with no pillars in the middle adds a sense of modernity to construction, combining both traditional and modern forms. As for coloring, the designing embodies respects for the southern characteristics, using white walls and gray windows.
Project Duration
Location: Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China
Designed/Completed in: 2008/2016
Operation Flow
Spaces of pavilion and corridor enable construction to better fit in nature and time, and have different forms in each season: when it snows, the yard could provide a warm place for watching the snow falling; when it rains, people could stay in rooms to watch beautiful raindrops in the yard; in spring and autumn, the corridor furnishes itself in different forms for people to enjoy; even in a day, changes could take place from daylight to night.
