[ON The Cliff]

"Man has always wanted to conquer nature. Everyone explores nature in his or her own way But doing so presupposes that we can protect ourselves."

[Climbing Resupply Station]

Project Duration ： 2022.9-2022.11

Subject ： Architectural Design

Type of work ： Individual completion

Finished by ：Wang Xinyi

The idea of this project was inspired by the movie < Free Solo> .

As an emerging worldwide sport, rock climbing has attracted countless people to try it. Based on such a sport, a modular base camp and supply station is designed for climbers and tourists at the start and end of the route.

According to the different needs of different numbers of people, the design is developed in combination with the analysis of human scale. This type of feed station combines many different functions in one simple modular unit, depending on the ability of the climber and the needs of the climb. In order to meet different needs in a very limited space, a part of the building is designed to be rotatable, allowing users to rotate according to their needs.

Through this design I hope to provide more support and safety for climbers, thus reducing the risk factor of the sport. I also wanted to give ordinary people the opportunity to climb and observe nature from the cliff face.

Difficulties: A vertical crack only 15-30cm wide, which can only be moved upwards by the twisting of the climber's body.

Two cliff faces perpendicular to each other and located late in the route, which is physically challenging

After completing the entire route, you can look down on the surrounding scenery from the top of the hill.

Difficulties: One move requires climbing on a pea-sized handle point and "karate kicking" with one foot to reach the stepping point.

Difficulties: Vertical cliffs, lacking a support point and relying entirely on the strength of the climber's fingers.

Studying the utilization rate of different shape spaces, we can see that when there is more sharp angle in the space and the use of a separate space, the utilization rate is low, which is very unfavorable for the limited space on the cliff. So it is important to improve the building surface available in the space. Regarding the situation of alone, except the experienced people who can complete the entire climbing within one day, we need to meet the some basic living functions for rock climbers, such as sleeping, catering, and brief rest.

For those who are accompanied, not only need to meet their basic living needs such as sleeping, diet, etc., but also add some space for communication and gathering. In addition, the teams of teams are more important to view the beautiful mountain scene, so the view of the landscape is more important in use.

As for the users who engage in group activities, based on the principle of low-impact development, prefabricated modules and replicability are mainly used in construction. Some buildings can be used as a base camp for climbers, for temporary rest, material storage, or a supply station for everyone.

The fixed section meets the common requirements of climbers of all levels in terms of function, such as sleeping and resting, hygiene and other functions. The overall structure is of steel, which facilitates temporary installation. The whole section is fixed to a cliff platform or rock projection by means of a support structure on both sides.

WINDOWS & DOORS

Windproof and airtight, it provides a more comfortable resting environment for the user.

Fence

The roof is accessible and has a good view, and the fence keeps people safe.

CROSS BRACED STRUCTURES

The cross structure connects the horizontal and vertical main structure and makes the whole stable.

DOOR FRAMES

ACCESSIBLE-ROOF

Steel plate, strong and stable structure, high load-bearing capacity.

Fixed Section Articulation Section

The fixed part, in addition to fulfilling a specific function, also acts as a support and is connected to the middle part by means of a component that allows the middle part to rotate.

The circular chute has a hexagonal support frame cut into it, which is connected to the four steel tubes in the transition section, which are fixed during rotation and the middle section rotates. The three supporting steel tubes right in the middle drive the rotation of the middle whole in a stable form.

Lateral Entrance

Normally closed, can be opened upwards on special occasions
