FACADE TRANSFORMATION

The Dalian International Conference center now features aluminum panels with a rigid, angular, and daunting aesthetic. Our transformation premise alters the aesthetic to a fluid, inflated membrane. The Building has been designed and constructed with an absurd amount of metal. The structure is comprised of w-section box trusses with concrete floor slabs. The skin of the building is supported by the primary steel structure that utilizes a three-meter-thick braced column framing.

The intentions of our transformation are to lighten the overall structure of the skin of the façade, while reducing the weight of the material used to enclose the building. The implementation of ETFE (Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene) pillows allow for various benefits to the building performance. ETFE is a fluorine-based plastic which possesses high corrosive resistance and strength of a large variance of temperatures. The cushions allow the flexibility to contain several different gasses to improve environmental performance of the skin. ETFE allows for longer spans of materials versus the aluminum panels.

The Perplex detail take inspiration from Japanese Puzzle Boxes, where theintention of the design in to confuse or perplex an individual while attempting to open it. The project is explores the idea of a lock becoming more than just an accessory. The lock becomes integrated into the construction of the door. The only use of hardware if the pivot hinge that allows the door to swing. Our design utilizes a track system that allows the blocks to slide fluidly to unlock and lock. The detail engages the users with the door catalyzing an interaction with the door. The design features hints to solve the puzzle, as ornamentation is formed as a continuity when unlocked, and broken when locked. Windows are implemented into the window but alter when the blocks are moved for a more dynamic experience. The locking mechanism extends into the door frame allowing the door to not open.
