Prologue

For me, architecture is not something that exists in isolation, it is something that must be at the service of a group or something, it must also exist in a world created by people or in nature, therefore, architecture is inextricably linked to people and to nature.

When I see a building that I like, or when I am in it, I feel happy, it gives me a reason to stay, a pleasant place to feel the beauty of life, and I hope that everyone can find such a place, and I hope that the buildings I make can become such a place.

【 Research Of Typology 】in Traditional NanJing Garden and

The project is located in The Green Expo Park, and the site of stream will be updated to a canal garden in the future.

Architectural sketches are set up in the area to form a "garden within a garden" to renew and improve the quality of local public urban landscape.

【Concept Framework】

Spatial scale and Element

The site straddles a stream, and there is an island in the stream, so the first consideration was the connection between the two banks and the island. on this basis, the function of leisure and scenery was added, the concept of the bridge house was born.

Taking this as a starting point, combined with the characteristics of many garden buildings in Nanjing, the elements such as sloped roofs and corridors are extracted, the 4 different relationship between architectural scale and human scale is summarized.

01 Double Bridge House | "Bridge" + "House" In The Park

Instructor:Hang Zhao(zhaohang@bjut.edu.cn)

Location: The Green Expo Park Nanjing, China

The plot is located over a small river. The concept of the design is to not only build a bridge to connect both sides of the banks, but also establish a house in the river. Therefore, "Bridge" + "house" turns out to be the key point of the design. The design is inspired by the poetic traditional architecture from Chinese painting. Its roof with a unique slope is what fascinates me about this project.

The bridge house is composed of two-way sloped roofs, the starting height of the two roofs is different, and they are lowered or raised in turn along the arc. When you enter the bridge house, you will feel the scale change of different space.

The bridge house adopts a traditional wooden frame structure, I define the roof shape firstly, then the structure grid is followed the roof height to shape the gradual changes. One column supports two horizontal timber beams, intend to make the form more light, as like the roof floats above the river.

The indoor space is placed in the water, providing a new perspective for people to see the water.
