苏州观前街有熊酒店

SUZHOU GUANQIAN STREET YOUXIONG HOTEL

Suzhou City brief history

Suzhou has been built for 2,500 years and has a very deep cultural heritage. Over the years, the protection of Suzhou ’s ancient city has been lacking in planning. Traditional method is not enough to meet the cultural and economic challenges faced by various buildings and places that need to be updated. some corners of the ancient city area have often been reduced to forgotten urban fragments.

Site information

The site is adjacent to a historic residential district in Suzhou, The project is located in the historical area of Guanqian Street within the protection area of the historical section of the lane. The inner Zhaozhai is a controlled security building, and the nearby historical buildings are dense.

Famous parks such as Yiyuan, Master of the Nets Garden, Lion Forest, Humble Administrator ’s Garden and Suzhou Museum are within walking distance.

Site Relationship - Architectural culture map

Rich historical buildings and culture resources

Status quo& Issue - Former Party School

Most buildings in this area are waiting for renovation or demolition. Due to historical reasons, historical buildings and residential buildings in this area are mixed together to form a relatively isolated area.

Role Relationship Digram - Government, Developerand and Architect

As a complex that integrates traditional context and cultural characteristics, it not only carries the simple functions of commerce, but also gives new vitality to the core area of the entire old city.

Here we integrate symbols from different eras for reorganization, integration, and the superposition of new functions and complexities, resulting in a completely new symbol. This symbol bears the cultural characteristics of Suzhou and the cultural memory of the city. At the same time, it generates with the current consumer hot spots, Has become a new cultural symbol and cultural beacon.

Concept mood board - Inspriation and Elements

Expectation & Opportunity - Ancient town Revitalization

Architects design buildings, and other people make buildings into architecture.

Our purpose is not just to design a space, we are eager to design a place for objects, in this space, people use their emotions, actions, daily life and memory to create their own space.

Therefore, in the project's vision, there are three elements that are the key for us to build the entire system, places, cultural symbols as triggers, events. The project will be a complex that integrates Suzhou's environmental and cultural characteristics . Our purpose is not just simple business functions, but also the fragmentation and memory of the city.

In order to support the rationality of the entire structure, we analyzed the modern business model changes including site factors, cultural factors, client needs, residents' demands, and network economy. In the city of Suzhou with history as its genes, look for traditional and future active community models

Circulation and Function

The circulation route of the community consists of vertical connections and corridors, and the community circulation organizes business Spaces, entertainment venues, studios and galleries from the bottom up, connecting all public functions and private Spaces.

View of Main Entrance - Blanking

The facade material of the building is made of polycarbonate, with white and black as the main colors, so that the transformed building can get a new look, but it disappears in the old city and respects the historical style of the ancient city.

Platform and Rooftop Bar

The transportation platform expands the scale of outdoor activities, forms a threedimensional transportation, and develops the roof as an activity space. Provide more possibilities for an active community experience

Dialogue - Facades Detail & Rendering 2# （ example ）

When you stand in front of Buildings 1 and 2, you c an see the new facade made of polycarbonate panels. We use this blanking material to integrate the newer buildings with the ancient city. The roof of the building uses steel plates to build the roof bar. Just as this project carries the intersection of old and new cultures, it expands the diversity of space.

Introduction - Historical architecture and contemporary value

"Repair the old as old"

It is the architectural heritage protection concept proposed by Mr. Liang sicheng, a famous architectural expert. In fact, the purpose of restoring the old as the old is not just to let the historical features of cultural relics or buildings be passed on. It is also to protect our common historical memory and build a collective cultural identity in the round of "city-building movement".

Suzhou is a national historical and cultural city, admitting that retaining the traditional memory of the city is gradually becoming the consensus of the city. This project is aimed at repairing a Qing Dynasty building, the Zhao family, and studying how to use the space and cultural characteristics of the place to create different spatial experiences

In this project, Zhao House's renovation will be divided into two parts: space demolition and restoration and space re-division.

As Zhao House is a historically protected building, with the emphasis on respecting the restoration of history to its original

State of Ancient Building Renovatiom - Criticusm and approval

“Reconstruction is a term used in the conservation of buildings, the exact meaning of which depends on the context in which they are used”

In the course of investigating the current situation of cultural relics protection, two very different viewpoints have attracted my the principle of respecting the original building form, materials and craftsmanship. However, in actual work, whether to repair or not, when and what kind of original condition to pursue is a problem. The cultural protection workers must consider various factors and devise a compromise plan.

Another view, as Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc, a theorist of early cultural relics protection and a famous restorer, summarized the restoration concept as follows in his famous book Entretiens sur l'architecture (1866)

The word "repair" itself and what it refers to are modern. Repairing a building means neither maintaining the building, nor repairing or rebuilding it, but recreating its intact state, even if this state has never existed in history.

not matter which restoration method is adopted, the key is what we want to do with it.

Site Brief description

As a part of the Yanjiaxiang block, the project location needs to respect the regional context in terms of materials, urban texture, skyline, and spatial scale

As a historical building, Zhao Zhai is also the core of the site culture. During the restoration process, maintaining minimal

At the same time, the introduction of public attributes is also a retrospective of the function and tradition of Zhao's lobby

Logic and Design Method - Muti-Function Community Center

Based on the setting of transforming historical buildings into public platforms, we use the crowd as an entrance, by

Spatial Stratedy - Openness and Interaction

We hope that the entire space can achieve a balance between the original form and the sense of transparency.

In order to achieve this effect, the first floor of the building breaks the hard brick wall, restores and integrates the two buildings into a complete space 。

We set up four event scenes in this space, These functions are produced in accordance with the format of the entire Yanjiaxiang area. In order to adapt to different scenes, we the space.

Analyzing - Different Kind of ancient architecture and Society Bonding

Design Process - Multi function Public Activity Space

Step 1: Demolition

Remove the redundant structure in Zhao's house and clear the internal partition wall of the building on the south side to obtain two relatively complete spaces

Step 2: Functional expectations and layout

The Community Center and the Culture Platform - Muti-Function public spaces

Using the soft space barrier, the space can be redivided according to the scene to form a public or private space

The furniture strategy adopts unit modular combination

which can be transformed into stage, seat and exhibition stand according to

We set up four different scenes for this space according to the context of the entire area. 1. Exhibition. 2. Lecture hall. 3. Performing Arts Center. 4.banquet space Step 3: Spatial strategy - Public & Private Separation

Modular facilities are the key to space design, it achieves functional changes and respect for building structure

Modular interior space endows ancient buildings with multifunctions By using furniture modules and folding screens, the exhibition space can be a whole, or it can be re-divided according to the scene. The equipment is placed on the roof without damaging the wooden structure

Zhaozhai Feature Plan - Movable reorganization space

Exhibition Rendering

The entire exhibition space is composed of Building No. 5 Zhao House and Building No. 6, because Building No. 5 is a historical building, the space does not make much changes.

the platform serves as a series space and outdoor corridor. In the stage scenario, the platform can be used as a processing station for props and lights, or used in the background

March, 2021

This project focuses on the current issue of mega-cities, which were once regarded as the compressed living space, and isolation from nature, a series of urban diseases have made

For this series of problems, I try to look to the ancient times. The history of ancient Chinese architecture has always regarded the harmonious relationship between man and nature as the principle of construction, among which the core principle of "feng shui" is to judge the reasonable existence of structures according to the environment and geographical form. The extensive use of "mountain and water" elements is also an external manifestation of Chinese people's worship of nature.

Introduction - megacity Crisis

Mountain and Water - Chinese Symbolism

The theme of this project is "Mountain and Water". elements from ancient Chinese "poetry" and "paintin compare the similarities and differences between im medium (painting) and physical medium (architecture) in spatial experience. Exploring these two seemingly different media tools to create a new possibility of human settlements in the contemporary context.

Strategy - Inspired by poetry

This paper attempts to translate the spatial narration and elements of Ouyang Xiu's poem The Story of the Drunk Weng Pavilion, and to explore the possibility of using poetic media tools to create a living environment.

Original Copy of The Story of Old Tippler's

On the basis of the spatial order of the Legend of the Drunk Weng Pavilion and the principle of the spatial order of "the turn of the road" in the poem, a montage landscape is created that inserts the literati landscape world into the city.

Year: 08/2019 for Lingwu Mountain Hot Spring

From space form, material to color selection, the design seeks to return to nature and trace back a kind of original "cave feeling".

Since primitive man, human beings have experienced the "living state" mainly in cave for nearly one million years, and the history of "building" of human beings is only ten thousand years since the Stone Age. The sense of security generated by human beings to cave is written in their genes.
