STRUCTURAL MOVEMENT RHYTHM & VARIATION

AIRPORT TERMINAL DESIGN TEAM WORK, COOPERATOR: Guan Rui My Role: Concept, Analysis,Drawing,Models, Presentation Ningbo, P.R.China 2015.4.26---2015.6.15(8 Weeks Project) TUTOR Zhou, Ying Gao, Wenyan

The site of the airport is located in NingBo city, Zhejiang province, P.R.China. NingBo is a medium city in China with a population of 7.8 million people. The city has a wet weather and is rich in bamboo and timber.

The airport asked the designer to create a new T2 terminal to hold 10.8 million national passengers and 1.2 million international passengers each year.

The design aims to utilize small units mainly made of bamboo,timber and steel to create a large span structure and in the meantime meet the function of the airport terminal.

Rhythmic Variation In piano keyboard, every 7 longer keys, known as white keys, make up a whole major diatonic scale and can create a regular note sequence. However, another 5 black keys, as the addition elements , join in the scale and produce the chromatic scale which will supplement more changes in the original rhythmic scale and provide more interesting points in the melody.

In the airport terminal, we also need the smaller unit structure to achieve the whole large span. However, if we add some variation to the similar repeated unit structure, can we attain more interesting sense of space in the rhythmic structure?

Skin & Structure in VARIATION The structure is made of steel frame, ensuring its stability, and the roof surface and louvre-board is made of bamboo rich in NING BO. The skin of the structure enables the terminal to blend more with its environment in the daylight, but stand out more in the night time, both made possible because of the flexible louvred system. The similar repeated units of modified portal frame creates a visual rhythm with aesthetic feeling, while the changeable louvre-board produces an ocular variation with optical feeling.

Parallel World The world we live today is far too chaotic. The city we live in is like a three dimensional collage of different functioning zones, releasing waves of undesirable information that intrude into every pore of us. Anxiety, stress and fatigue have thus become the basic tone for modern urban life.

“Rebelling” against the chaotic world, we attempt to create a parallel world that, even though made up by the same necessary functions, offers a sense of purity that is scarcely felt in the modern city. By regrouping the functions, we achieved the result of two new “worlds”, one that sticks to the ground and exhibits a pure secular character, and one that deviates from the earth surface and presents pure peace and nature.

However, the idea of creating purity does not indicate isolation. Intersections happen between the two worlds, which enlightens the tedious urban life with unexpected surprises.

DIVISION

I Plant volumes that contain a mixture of different functions in the site.

II Regroup the functions into two “worlds” and separate them apart vertically.

III “The Secular World”: stretch the ground floors outside the volume to provide extra commercial space; tilt one elevation to lead people looking downward.

IV “The Spiritual World”, tilt one elevation of each blocks to achieve better sunlight and view of Tsu-chin Mountain.

INTERSECTION

V Amalgamate the two “worlds“ by remixing parts of their functions, forming the third part- a platform layer of dynamic information exchange and activities.

VI Cut the platform to welcome the main crowd from the residential area near the site; link the platform with metro lines to form the terminal station.

VII Cut holes in the platform to introduce sunlight and air to the plaza below; pull up some parts of the platform for the same purpose.

VIII Build connections between the plans visually and physically, creating an architecture of overall diversity and partial purity.

DIVISION To think about our surroundings more thoroughly and clearly, we category those functions into two parts——the rural part and the city part, and divide them into different parts of the parallel world .

In each part of the parallel world, a different set of “performance” that is only a fragment of the larger spectacle of urban life takes place. Each part enjoys considerable autonomy in its own area. The middle part act as a layer that provides ground for people and events from different worlds to interact.

INTERSECTION Combine the rural part and the city part to a new parallel world-the ParaWorld. Key joints are connected to become highly centralized, where wonder comes to birth. Walking in the middle part, you will impressed by the fascinating parallel life by seeing people shopping in the urban world and hearing people playing with fountain in the rural world.

The ParaWorld should be an architecture representing a big world of diversity, inside which the smaller worlds remain their purity.

INVISIBLE MEMORY

In the past, people memorized LEI FENG --a civilian hero in China with a huge statue in an open square. The size of the memorial statue renders it an overly heroic portrait in the eyes of the public. The government asks designers to preserve the old 8-meter statue of LEIFENG in the centre of the square and create a new memorial hall for LEIFENG.

FRAGMENTS & TOTALITY MEMORIAL PAVILION INDIVIDUAL WORK Changsha,P.R.China 2012.10.5---2012.11.5 (4 Weeks Project)

Nowadays, I attempt to find a new way to memorize LEI FENG in a more civilian-sized form.

TUTOR Xia, Bing Southeast University

To memorize a hero, what we should preserve in our mind is not the specific image memory, but the emotional memory. It is the invisible memory but not the visible statue that we need to cherish the most. So it is better to awake LEI FENG’s warm-hearted and kind spirit in people’s mind than to build a grand figure that leaves people with a formidable impression.

II, Shield the huge statue in a optical device made of concrete.

III, Wall in broken line segment the first plan in fragments.

IV, The human sized image of the statue reappear in the second plan of totality.

In Marcel Proust’s novel, Remembrance of Things Past, the author successfully depicted the male hero through the hero’s life experience. This literary figure’s beautiful marriage was followed by ugly betrayal, and his luck followed by misfortune. Such turnings and vicissitudes make the story fascinating.

REVISIBLE

Actually, deep in our mind, we just like the sense of molestation by the surroundings.

People prefer the ups and downs in novels, movies ,as well as in architecture, to simple and plain plot. The winding foreshadowing of the plot will deeply impress itself on people’s mind.

To create a foreshadow plot to impress people, I choose two type of plan--the plan of fragments and the plan of totality in each floor of the memorial hall. I believe the plot twists created by conflicting elements would help people understand and remember the short but shining life of the hero.
