Form Development

Main Buildings are Suspended by Truss Structure

Exploded Structure and Envelope

The main structure of the building is a steel plate inserted into the mountain, and the steel plate is fixed by four ropes. Fix the structural walls on both sides to the trusses, and fix structures such as floor slabs and glass windows to the structural walls.

halfway up Mount Everest provide temporary shelter for passing climbers or those who have encounprocess so that they can be buffered.

Steping Room

Use different floor heights to divide different functions in the room, so that people can enjoy the scenery of snow mountains in every position of the strip-shaped room without blocking the line of sight.

Different Use Areas are Divided by Heights

The interior is designed in a stepped shape, and different use spaces are divided by height, so that every position in the room can enjoy the snow mountain scene without being blocked.

The structural support plate of the building is a gentle slope that can be accessed, forming an outdoor viewing platform at the edge. And there are public baths between the rooms.

Honour: The Second Prize

“This is a 1:1 construction work, which can be used as an exhibition, but also has the function of sitting, and it can also be a space for children to crawl or play.”

We extracted the elements of mountains and caves in a Chinese painting, and we drew different shapes according typology to interpret these two elements, then we scanned and inputted them into the computer to form different 2D pieces. We also got inspiration from the structure of traditional furniture, borrowed the traditional joint structure “mortise and tenon” and applied it to our construction works, clamped different boards, and got a good result.

We finally made the appearance of a rockery through this way of clamping the panels, and hollowed out the interior with the concept of a cave to establish an interesting space where people can walk and sit. Making changes in the height of the roof so that there will be line of sight interaction and barrier when people walk or sit inside. There are also many children crawling and playing in this space.

and Tenon Joint

A mortise and tenon joint connects two pieces of wood or other material. Woodworkers around the world have used it for thousands of years to join pieces of wood, mainly when the adjoining pieces connect at right angles. Mortise and tenon joints are strong and stable joints that can be used in many projects. They furnish a strong outcome and connect by either gluing or locking into place. The mortise and tenon joint also gives an attractive look.

Activities in the Cave

People can walk and sit inside. We made changes in the height of the roof, so that there will be line of sight interaction and barrier when people walk or sit inside. And there are also many children crawling and playing in this space.
