About Memories of Water Jumba la Maonyesho
Memories of Water ni jumba la maonyesho lililoko kwenye ufuo wa bahari mjini Qingdao, China. Jengo hili linatoa mandhari pana ya bahari ndani ya mazingira ya mjini. Mfumo wa ukuta wa pazia wenye mapezi ya chuma umetumika kwenye ghorofa ya kwanza ili kupunguza muundo. Kwenye ghorofa ya pili, vioo vyenye uwazi wa hali ya juu vimewekwa bila mapezi wala fremu, hivyo mpaka kati ya nafasi ya ndani na ya nje unapungua. Muundo wa kantiliva unaunda athari ya kuelea. Mandhari ya maji yanazunguka jengo na kurahisisha mpito kutoka mjini hadi kwenye asili. Eneo lote la ujenzi ni mita za mraba 1800.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- With the prime location of the site, which situates by the shoreline in Qingdao, China, the design is to create a relationship between natural environment and the architectural space. With the advantage of the site location, the architecture provides a space for visitors to enjoy the dramatic and panoramic view of the ocean, meanwhile experience nature within the urban area.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Gross build area: 1800 sqm
- Tags
- Architecture, Exhibition gallery, Civic
- 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.
