“Hotel+Library” Aggregation

Optimized orderly patterns: People could naturally experience different state: from public to private. Improved flexibility: Considering different people may have different needs, they can have multiple choices at the first floor, people can either go straight to the hotel rooms or go to exterior area to enjoy spaces combine library and hotel activities.

between the main buildings. Insert multiple sky wells on canopies and extend down to the ground to form different units.

Add three functional spaces:courtyard, wharf and pool at the edge of the in-between spaces.

The first floor defines three in-between spaces of the building as three different topics, creates different public riches the way people read. There are courtyard reading spaces, sunken plazas, independent glass rooms in freely through these main buildings and negative spaces.

public or private space experiences for people through three different types of structural systems, and enin negative spaces, as well as stack room, reading room and café bar in main buildings. People can also walk spaces. This long span spaces are mainly lit from top.

This section and rendering show how this part of in-between space create the feeling that reading in the forest for users.And the way that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior.

This in-between space creates a variety of different spatial experiences for users to read. They can go to private glass rooms, sunken squares and read, even the riverside terrace is also a good choice.

The structure system in this in-between space separate it into multiple space units so that users can do different activities in different units, where they can chat and read, as well as swim and exercise.

Generative Process of “Hotel” rooms

Step

1

Sight

Arrange hotel rooms traditionally and divide them into 3 types of rooms: standard room, superior room and deluxe room.

Step

2

Rotate some of the shear walls by an angle to change the direction of the room while changing the structural system.

Step 3

Sight

Rotate the remaining shear walls at a smaller angle to divide hotel rooms.

Let Guests Have a Better View Rotation of the walls provide guests better views on the other side of the Huangpu River, And avoiding eye contacts with people on the street or in the “library”.

“Two main buildings intertwine by space corridor like lovers.”

Hengyang is an ancient city with a long history, Located in Hunan Province, China. The Battle of Hengyang took place in 1944. Many soldiers in Hengyang fought bravely, and many gave their lives for the country. Until now, many different museums commemorate their exploits. But rather than this, I want to tell the love story of these warriors by designing a building.

They met, fell in love, separated during the war, and finally reunited after the war. I think these are memorable stories. So, I would like to let visitors better feel these stories through the shape and interior space of the building, and feel the changes of the moods of lovers in different stages of the loves during The Battle of Hengyang.

Residential Buildings

Undeveloped area of the city

Tributary of Zhengshui River Buildings in construction

The site is located in Fengjia Bay Culture and Technology Industrial Park, with Peijiang River in the east, Tributary of Zhengshui River and Linshui Road in the south, Xuguang Expressway in the west, and Zhengshui in the north. The area is far away from the city center, surrounded by mostly residential areas and commercial buildings under construction and cultural buildings.

Historical

In 1942

In 1943

Hengyang is located at the junction of the Guangdong-Han Railway and the Hunan-Guizhou Railway, it is the only railway passage to Guangxi and Sichuan in the west, so it became the gateway to the southwest and the military area of importance.

In 1938

Industry and commerce in Hengyang have achieved great development, and the urban population at that time exceeded 500,000.

The 5 towns of Donghua, Yanfeng, West Lake, Shigu, and Jiangdong in Hengyang County and the 3 townships of Guangfu, Qigang, and Linghu in the suburbs are set up as Hengyang City.

In 1944

Defense of Hengyang took place in Hengyang, Hunan Province, The war was known as the “Oriental Moscow Defense War”. It was the longest frontal battle between the Chinese army.

A couple’s love story of during the war

Their hearts are connected

In 1949

After the victory of the Second Sino-Japanese War and the Civil War between the Chinese Nationalist Party and the CCP, New China was established, and Hengyang became a heroic city to be commemorated.

According to the development process of a pair of lovers in the war, from their acquaintance, separation to final reunion, this state of separation and reunion can lead to four curves surrounding each other, which serve as an important basis for this project.

Explosive Section Perspective: “Time Tunnels between galleries”

Visitors shuttle back and forth between the main buildings through space corridors, which are not only passages connecting different theme galleries, but also “time tunnels” that connecting different stages of the love stories.

Enjoy the Scenery Outside

Visitors can enjoy the scenery outside when going to the next theme gallery. And can also make eye contact with the people upstairs, which makes people’s spatial experience more interesting.

Make Eye Contact with Visitors in Opposite

Visitors can go to the next gallery through the space corridors, and they can also make eye contact with visitors walking in the air corridor on the other side.

Mount Everest expedition is a pinnacle of mountaineering. It is an adventure of a lifetime that involves the harsh challenges and dangers of Climbing Mount Everest. The crown jewel of the Mahalangur Himalayan range attracts hundreds of climbers every year.

There is a “death zone” above, 8000 m. It is the most dangerous section of the route. Extreme freezing weather at high altitudes is one of the top challenges during this climb. There are crevasses on ice that can swallow climbers instantly. Besides that, avalanches and falls can be fatal for climbers as they are quite unpredictable.

Furthermore, climate change has played a significant role in impacting Mount Everest’s condition. Substandard management, summit fever, oxygen deprivation, are also dangers of climbing Mount Everest.

So, a small house suspended in the mid-mountain of Mount Everest to provide temporary shelter for passing climbers or those who have encountered difficulties in the climbing process so that they can be buffered. It’s a good way to help them better climb to the top of Mount Everest.
