Merit Music School

Thomas Jacobs Xiao Lin

Merit school of music has an exsiting two story building. T he new extension site is to the w est of it, which serves for 300 student. T he program includes one auditorium, one library, 100 pratice room, 10 classroom and administration. A courtyard garden is created to bring lights and community to both new extension and exsiting building. The form is formed according to its context.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Light comes to you because actually it is not divided; it is simply that which desires to be manifest, coming together with that which has become manifest.â&#x20AC;? Louis Kahn

tre e crowns.

"Schools began with a man under a tree, who did not know he was a teacher, discussing his realization with a few, who did not know they were students. The students aspired that their sons also listen to such a man. Spaces were erected and the first schools began."

US Canada Border Station

Thoma s Hoepf Xiao Lin

Site and Natural Context

1. Annual temperature--cold in winter 2. Altitude of the sun is low--between 25 degree to 75 degree 3. Wind rose plot in four seasons 4. Site characteristics

1 3

Site and Program Analysis

1. Original site shape 2. Forming the site--make the northeast and southwest lower, northwest and southeast higher to get sunlight efficiency, avoid strong wind and take advantage of geo-thermal by enbeding half of the building in the ground 3. Designing the site--exposuring the rock laye rs on one side and forming a gentle slop in g field on the other side of the road 4. Programs and communal lines in site 5. Border location and land condition

1 4

Plans and Shape

1. Floor I-- primary checking booths in the middle, non-comme rcial secondary inspection in the south and co mmercial secon dary inspection in the north, each part has one side facing the fields. 2. Floor II--commu nal space for stuff including meeting room, cafe, kitchen and game room. 3. Curves in design 4. Perspective when entering the border station from Ca nada, seeing the exposuring rock layer on the left and natural field on the right, the second level and checking booth floating in between

Elevations

1. Elevation I--feeling the nature both ourside in the fie ld or inside in the building 2. Elevation II-- the changing elevation of the ground enables the changing views from the building 3. Elevation III-- function division that non-comme rcial checking in one side while co mmerical checking in the other 4. Elevation IV--glass structure of checking booths to allow more nature light coming into first level. 5.perspective of night view from entrance

Structure and Details

1. Conbined structure I--concrete structure on first floor 2. Conbined structure II--20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;-high vierendeel tru ss on second floor to achieve 200â&#x20AC;&#x2122; span without columns supporting 3. The beams in the vierendeel truss--two ends are thinner,the middle is deeper to make the structure lighter 4. cables in between vierendeel truss to refore nce structure and reduce materials 5. details of the facade of conbined structure I 6. details of the transition of conbined structure I 7. winter view in the office courtyard on the first level
