EXP3 FINAL SUBMISSION

 

 

The building should be designed to be a complementary part of the landscape. And the project is embedded and melted within the context by considering all the possible articulated relationships such as topography and landscape. In addition to the harmonious relationship between architecture itself and the landscape, notions of architectural space related to the coherence between the interior and exterior of buildings emerged as a new feature as well 

 

 

Exterior

  

 

The main concept of this bridge is represents place of exchange, the life exchange, vista exchange, and central exchange. It represents the place that has been developed as a melting point across the countries . That's why I designed a bridge like a circulation partway, but not a linear bridge. As a result they can have a common meeting space in the center of the bridge. 

 

 

 

 

The feature of fluid space makes the visitor unconsciously wants to walk, move, and see what is next, self-directed, so there is no need any more for an introductory guide and even for signage.   

 

Bridges link these three parts of the school. It gives the sense of circulation and melting.

 

 

 SECTIONS PHOTOS:

 Seamlessness and fluidity are noticeably prevalent characteristics. Inspiration for this technique is from the natural seamless flow of the landscapes.

Huangguoshu Waterfall

Huangguoshu Waterfall  is one of the largest waterfalls in China and East Asia located on the Baishui River in Anshun, Guizhou province. It is 77.8 m (255 ft) high and 101 m (331 ft) wide. The main waterfall is 67 m (220 ft) high and 83.3 m (273 ft) wide.^[1] 

 

Known as the Huangguoshu Waterfall National Park, it is 45 km (28 mi) southwest of Anshun City. Together with minor waterfalls, the charms of the waterfall is a natural tourist draw, classified as a AAAAA scenic area by the China National Tourism Administration.^[2]
Huangguoshu Waterfall's vista changes depending on the location of the viewer. One viewing spot is Waterfall-Viewing Pavilion (Guan Bao ting), where you see the whole waterfall from a distance. Another is Water-Viewing Stage (Guan Bao Ting) where you get a bird's eye view. The third is Waterfall-Viewing Stage (Guan Bao Tai) in which you raise your head to see the scene.
There is a special line of buses servicing Huangguoshu Waterfall, the Dragon's Palace at Guiyang, and Anshun railway stations.

Mashup

MASHUP CONCEPT:

The main concept of master planning is actually as represents place of exchange, the life exchange, vista exchange, and central exchange. It represents the place that has been developed as a melting point across the countries. The building should be designed to be a complementary part of the landscape. And the project is embedded and melted within the context by considering all the possible articulated relationships such as topography and landscape. In addition to the harmonious relationship between architecture itself and the landscape, notions of architectural space related to the coherence between the interior and exterior of buildings emerged as a new feature as well. Transferring to the site of interior space, seamlessness and fluidity are noticeably prevalent characteristics. Inspiration for this technique is from the natural seamless flow of the landscapes. Curving the surfaces in order to give the sense of continuous fluid space and sometimes by inclining surfaces toward the inside or outside. The feature of fluid space makes the visitor unconsciously wants to walk, move, and see what is next, self-directed, so there is no need any more for an introductory guide and even for signage. For the detailing of architecture, the constructivist visual style of clean lines, pure shapes, flat colors and formal order are still instantly recognizable in design, which make the sense of simplicity.

Five images be chosen :

Bird view

This scene is showing the site of the building that is built on the edge of waterfall. Horizontal locating of the building is to integrate the landscape of waterfall. It gives you the sense of nature when you hear the sound of slow flowing waterfall and see the view of these three steps landscape.

Meeting space 

The meeting space on the back site is where visitors can sit and chat on the outdoor area and also have the view of wonderful sunset.

Monument Two

Monument two intersecting with the meeting space is built for Aldo Van Eyck. Stairs around the monument which is convenient for visitors to see the information on the wall of the monument. It is like the process of  visiting. Rectangular solid intersecting with the flat meeting place is trying to memorize visitors that Aldo is an architect famous for overlapping geometry and labyrinthian way design. 

Curvilinear Bridge

For this bridge link to the meeting space, the curve using stands for Ricardo's concept of free flowing movement. It makes a illusion to guide visitors to other spaces like walking on the water.

  Monument one

Monument one  in the middle of the pool was built for Ricardo. Visitors can walk around this monument and take a chat with this beautiful view. Also triangle open space creates intersting  shadow on the floor also convey his concept of contrast of structural mass.

Additional images (and explanation) :

 Meeting place

This scene is showing the meeting space for students. The purpose of planting the tree inside is to create the open space with the natural environment. Flat space and mainly used white color help to convey the concept of pure and peaceful feeling.
