About Memories of Water Galerya ng Eksibisyon
Ang Memories of Water ay isang galerya ng eksibisyon na matatagpuan sa baybayin ng Qingdao, China. Ang gusali ay nag-aalok ng panoramikong tanawin ng karagatan sa loob ng isang urbanong kapaligiran. Ginamit ang isang curtain wall system na may mga steel fin sa unang palapag upang mabawasan ang estruktura. Sa ikalawang palapag, inilagay ang ultra-transparent na salamin nang walang mga fin o frame, kaya nababawasan ang hangganan sa pagitan ng panloob at panlabas na espasyo. Ang isang cantilever na estruktura ay lumilikha ng epektong lumulutang. Ang isang tanawing tubig ay nakapalibot sa gusali at nagpapagaan sa transisyon mula sa lungsod patungo sa kalikasan. Ang kabuuang lawak ng gusali ay 1800 metro kwadrado.

- 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.
