CONCEPT
STRUCTURE
THE SPINNING COLUMNS TORUS WITHIN TORUS THE 4 STORIES LIBRARY MAINLY CONSISTS OF FOUR LARGE TORUSES ON WITHIN ANOTHER TO REPRESENT A 4D SPHERE BY A 3D STRUCTURE. THE LINEAR GEOMETRIES GO THROUGH THE WHOLE BUILDING, THE COLUMNS DANCE FOR VISITORS. THE LIBRARY ITSELF IS AN EXHIBITION, IT PERFORMS ITSELF TO EVERYBODY. TWO TYPES OF MATERIALS HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO THE FLOOR POLISHED CONCRETE AND TOUGHENED GLASS, WHICH IS ABLE TO PRODIVE A COMPREHENSIVE VIEW OF THE TWISTING COLUMNS IN THE CENTER TO VISITORS.
TOP FLOOR HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO BE ORGANISED AS CHILDCARE CENTER. THE LEVEL HAS BOTH INDOOR AND OUTDOOR AREA FOR CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUND. EVERYONE COULD HAVE THE NICEST VIEW FROM NO MATTER WHICH CORNER YOU ARE STANDING AT. IT IS AIMED TO MOTIVATE EARLY AGE CHILDREN TO QUESTION ABOUT WHAT THESE DANCING COLUMNS ARE AND WHAT THEY THINK THEY MIGHT REPRESENT. IT IS TO ENCOURGE CHILDREN’S IMAGINATION AND CREATIVITY

ARCHITECTURE IS NOT JUST A METHOD OF BUILDING SOMETHING INTO A USABLE FORM BUT AN ARTWORK INFLUENCING THE WHOLE URBAN CANVAS. BUILDING NOT AS JUST A BLOCK SITTING IN A PERFECT POSITION WITH CERTAIN BOUNDARIES BUT AS A DYNAMIC FIELD ENGAGING AND INTERACTING WITH CONTEXT. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION NOT AS A PRIVATE SOURCE CENTER BUT A PUBLIC BRIDGE MERGING DIFFERENT CULTURES, DIFFERENT KNOWLEDGE AND SUBJECTIVE THOUGHTS IN A DIFFERENT TIME PERIOD. IT IS A SPACE OF COMPATIBLE DIVERSITY. LOCATED AT THE START OF LYGON STREET SURROUNDED BY A HIGHLY ACTIVE DISTRICT POSSESS GREAT DEVELOPMENT OPPOTUNITIES. THE PROJECT INCLUDES THE MIXED USE OF RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, EDUCATIONAL AND CULTURAL FACILITIES BY PROVIDING RETAIL, ART GALLERY AND COMMUNUAL SPACES TO THE PUBLIC WHILE CAR PARKS, COMPUTER LAB, PRIVATE STUDY SPACES AND ACCOMONDATIONS FOR TENANCIES.
