Building reconstruction

Time:02,2019-03,2019

Tipe:personal project

Try to change the thickness, height and density of the arch, and try to give more experience to the internal space without changing the basic appearance of the building; Brushed glass is placed inside the building and interspersed in it as a vertical gray space.

The reorganization of the grid and the change of the arch make the original free functional space more rhythmic. Functions are no longer only implied by furniture. The change of the atmosphere and scale of the space itself can adapt to more different needs.

If the arch structure creates a cement forest, the newly placed glass gray space is a big tree that freely grows and shuttles through it. The new gray space meets the needs of free communication, and at the same time, it is like the light shining into the whole forest.

Design concept:

The stretching action of knitted fiber creates a new free gray space, which is also reflected in Taichung Opera House.

Tomo Ito, the author of the Museum of Tama University of Fine Arts, is one of the famous Japanese contemporary architects.

Sendai Media Center conducts space experiments with steel tube pillars, which grow naturally like aquatic plants.

A freely growing arch like a forest.

New glass grey space for communication.

Overall generation:

Ground Floor Overhead

New overhead space on the ground floor brings new large activity places, making the building grow into a floating forest.

Roof Settlement

The roof of the second floor sinks to serve the height change of the arch on the second floor.

Grid Reorganization

The grid on the second floor transitions from dense to sparse, the arches transition from low to high, small to large, and the reading function transitions from private self-study to open reading.

Grid Reorganization

The function of the grid on the first floor is reorganized, the wall thickness of the arch is gradually changed, and part of the wall is hollowed out.

Generation Of Arch

The holes of the arch change with the grid, the height and width make the façade and interior space more like a growing forest.

Vertical Glass Gray Space

The vertical glass body is inserted in the middle of the building to bring more light, and the gray space brings new reading and communication space.

Shell Gray SpaceSpace Volume

Original plane grid

First floor plane generation

new 1F plane grid

Into the glass gray space

The functional grid on the first floor is re-divided, transitioning from inside to outside by functional areas, semi-open communication areas and semi-outdoor corridors. Changes in the wall thickness of the arch structure create new spaces and bookshelves.

Second floor plane generation

Original plane grid new 2F plane grid

Into the glass gray space

The functional grid on the second floor is re-divided, and the homogeneous space distribution becomes a transition from private to open space. Longitudinal traffic becomes hollowed-out arches that run through both floors

Variations of the arch

The larger and wider the arch, the higher the height, the more open and free the space; on the contrary, the narrower and shorter the space, the more private the space and the more specific the function.

Section ：

In addition original adding can create wrapped can be room.

Type of arch

addition to continuing the iginal sheet arch structure, dding the classic cross arch create a lower and more wrapped private space, which be used as a personal study

Longitudinal traffic

After the arch foot is thickened and thickened, it will span one or two floors and become a longitudinal traffic tube inside. The arch structure extends longitudinally and is no longer limited to horizontal development.

Hollow space

When the thickness of arch structure is increased, the inner hollowed space becomes a new private space, the through space becomes a traffic tunnel, and the half hollowed space is used as a bookshelf.
