Guangzhou Exhibition Centre

  • 整座展览大楼总面积为120,000平方米,里面包括有会议和酒店的设施。因大楼位于一个已开发地区与大自然边缘,而我们便把它们两者汇合成一地使用进设计中。园林成为了设计的主要元素,被用于提高环境质素与场地内的景观等。因大楼设计有于如飘浮在庭园的上空,建筑物围绕著小山丘, 并可给予在地面的园林呼吸的空间。大楼型态与园林景观的连接感,使它们可以和谐地共存于一个空间中。

    上图所示的入口广场,是个大型的室外剧院,可以容纳大量的群众空间,最适合用于大规模开幕式或庆祝等活动。

    项目面积的大小差不多达到了城市小区。主要的人流循环是一条基地内的大型街道,里面包括了各种各样,可以配合任何心情与用途的大小空间。我们先把主要大厅都放上于网格式的长方形栅格(或街道) ,一些沿路边缘据有利物品运送,撤除,人行等的位置上。而具其它功能的建筑物,就被摆放到沿着公园或自然边缘的位置, 而使它们可以灵活地融入进大自然风景中。

    整个周边都使用了遮阳蓬, 这些遮阳蓬设计成随意的方形,即可遮光,同时亦制造出一个有如至身于大自然的美丽树荫下的感觉。 但入夜后, 一个完全相反的情景便会出现,大楼的外墙会因由来至室内的灯光而闪耀着。

  • A 120,000sqm exhibition building with conference and hotel facilities. Located at the edge of human development and nature. Our design proposes to integrate both aspects. The park is treated as an asset to the exhibition centre design. It is embrassed and integrated into the design process. It is used to enhance the quality and outlook in the major spaces within the complex. The landscape probes the building form causing courtyards whilst the building form swells around a small hill in order to give the landscape space to breathe. The building form engages with the landscape and conversly the landscape engages with the building both co-exist each enhancing the other. The entry concourses, shown above, are spectacular, providing an appropriate setting for large scale opening ceremonies, celebrations and performances, catering for large numbers; they are large flexible outdoor theatres.

    The size of the building almost puts the design at the scale of urban planning. The main pedestrian circulation is a large scale internal street complete with places to rest, eat, drink, meet and chat all with a wide variety of moods, small and large scale spaces, private and public, intimate or spectacular tailored to every individual. We have organised the main halls on a rectangular grid (or street) pattern, with efficient goods movement, delivery and removal, vehical arrival and departure, pedestrian movement, locating this program along the road’s straight edge. Functions that do not require such rigid organisation have been located along the park and natural edges of the site, where greater flexibility of their brief allows less formal, more organic planning,fingering into the natural landscape.

    Shading screens line the perimeter. The screen is designed as a rational square pattern that becomes increasingly random and organic, providing shade but also creating beautiful dappled light like being under a tree. At night the process is reversed -the facade will sparkle with the light and colour from within.
