Production Technology

The facade uses the perforated plate as the louver to protect the sunshine, and the shape of louver is inspired by the cloud of Nanshan. The perforated leaves float around the curtain wall. It resembles a long scroll landscape painting, and its changes show the shape of the clouds and fog that stretches in the Nanshan. The glass curtain walls with gradual mist and perforated louvers are integrated so that the whole building seems floating in the clouds.

Design Challenge

The project is located in Nanshan, Chongqing. Nanshan located on the south bank of the Yangtze River in Chongqing which has a wealth of tourism resources including natural scenery, cultural landscape and specialties. In recent years, Nanshan has successively appeared some commercial buildings with cultural connotations such as bookstores and homestays. These buildings are simple in design and distinctive in shape, which has made Nanshan gradually become a synonym for elegant and introverted. And its artistic conception is correspond to Tao's poetry.

Research

At the same time, there are spraying device will create fog around the building everyday. It makes the natural fog become another layer facade for the building, creating a wonderland of Nanshan. The building is not only an architecture but a cultural event.

Inspiration

The entire project has two parts, the sales office and the commercial part. The sales office has small scale but exquisite and delicate. It is naturally engraved and hidden in nature, thus highlighting the concept of seclusion.

Project Duration

The project started in 2018 and finished in August 2019 in Chongqing, China.

Operation Flow

As a major theoretical perspective within sociology, symbolic interaction helps us understand how the designed physical environment and the self are intertwined, with one potentially influencing and finding expression in the other; how architecture contains and communicates our shared symbols; and how we assign agency to some of our designed physical environment, which then invites in a different kind of self-reflection.
