Since the ancient times, the beauty nurture the culture and it is said to be the place with splendid resources. It is」ust as the Yuelu mountain raised the Yuelu academy so that become the origin of hunan culture.Back lakeside area also has the condition to become the reading culture cradle of the university town.

There has many distributed small art institutions, some of them grow to the large size of the art schools and gradu­ ally occupied the art training market. The small institutions in the shanty towns has declined. It is state that the gathered small industry is」ust a beginning and a stable prosperity would undergo an intensive development phase.

Yuelu Academy influence, academic atmo­ sphere, sports and music without borders.

Without job but have lots of houses and can offer employment opportunities. Without center greenbelt but can provide leisure space.

@)

In 2013, back lakeside international art district opened , artist group make all their efforts to create work in art district.Training, display, and trading places, these news did not fluctuate the life in the university town, seemed so far away from our life.

Ensure the broad green space of the lake area, the high quality of scenic landscape and the site accessibility. Base surrounded by students from Hunan University, Hunan Normal University and Central South University, and from the geographical aspect,it has the ad­ vantage of meeting the common demand of students.

The internal functions of the old industrial park are chaotic, and

the living needs of residents and students and tourists have chan­ ged.They cannot feel the rich cultural atmosphere and enjoy the

convenient daily infrastructure, The river becomes an obstacle to

cultural exchanges between residents and students on both sides

0 The construction of Changsha cultural street space: In order to build changsha cultural street atmosphere, we use the historical perspective and proportion of street space and the street building material and form as the restriction, and to design the cultural blocks

D=32 H=20 D/H=1.6

D=28 H=20 D/H=1-4

The D: H value of trad巾onal streets and lanes is between 0.5 to 3 generally.It states that people towards to the heart, pursue the stab小ty, and need the friendly space. Changsha old city streets are mainly living streets, and mixed living and business lanes. D: H value of living streets is around 0.51 and the historical width is below 5 meters; D: H value of mixed lanes is 0.5 to 2, and the historical width is between 5-9 meters. The width an d heiqht of history hi hi reflects the humanism orientation of chan sha trad巾onal street ro ortion and it is the main urban or anization rotection oints in the skin texture of ancient city.

Frame

According to the requirements of different span, the frame is divided.

The wire frame of the affiliated space is simple two-side cross com­ pared to the wire frame in the main space.It enrichs the space level.

From the perspective of the struc­ ture, we manage to find a way to make the span larger without adding the height of the structure.

The rope element could satisfy those thinking above. And stability rope ensure the permeability of the side faced to Xiangjiang River.

CONSTRUCTION RESEARCH Wire rope & wave of truss

cross-frame node

excess material

Xiang�iang fluid wave

We use two ways to express the wave. One is through the rope cross. Another is through cutting the extra wood. According to the reasonable design, we make sure the rope is only interweaved in the vertical surface and movable at the same time. In order to create the beauty of structure and illustrate the mechanical principle of the frame,we cut the extra part of the frame to create the wave curve and lighten the structure weight.

Bionic bone column

Traditional wooden structure

We try to find inspiration in Chinese traditional wodden works.In order to enrich the inside space, we design the fishbone-simulated pillar to create this beautiful curve and respond to the concept. 'Tong Pillar'might not be so accurate,but the effect is close to the post-and-lintel construction.Its form is conformed to the change of the wire frame.And it's connected with close side by joggle joint. The close side is a intermediary between wire frame and pillar. And this is the form transformation thinking towards separation line. 42
