Textual content description offered by the architects. The Nature Schooling Middle of Tangjiahe supplies content material for younger households’ pure research excursions. Completely different from the kind of college schooling, this constructing makes use of way of life and pure notion as the tutorial medium. Its public area features a museum exhibition corridor, multimedia classroom, natural-themed eating area (pure meals schooling), and 9 visitor rooms for research excursions.
Life in nature is probably the very best pure schooling – A key perceptual cognition types the background of our design work: our design is to let the constructing join with nature, and the constructing because the design result’s to let the consumer join with nature. The roof of the constructing is a big concrete “flagstone” within the form of a saddle, which responds to the valley and the scouring of water: an enormous Riverstone. We hope that this constructing can be formed by the space-time energy of nature. The architectural kind comes from the response to mountains and valleys. The constructing sank into the mountain and crawled on the riverbed as if it have been a relic carved by nature in a protracted historical past.
The construction of this constructing is designed as a steady bending construction airplane, and the steps are positioned in these buildings to kind a steady overlapping area panorama. The purposeful airplane and the structural airplane correspond to the identical logic. The area that customers need to understand is precisely the place with out a airplane (construction), so the purposeful area is distinguished from the serving area and the served area.
The structural airplane and purposeful airplane of the constructing correspond to the identical logic. The service area can be the construction of the constructing: a steady panorama is just like the stones rising out of the tundra and overlapping with one another. The structural type of the roof itself has grow to be an important expression of structure. It comes from the static type of the construction itself and shapes a proper language past typology. This course of appears to be the method of water shaping river stones.
The structural scheme comes from the demand for the constructing area itself. Within the structural kind, we let the 16-meter lengthy span and 9-meter overhang kind their very own static stability relationship, and the entire constructing presents a micro-arch form within the entrance public area. The amount of the constructing extending horizontally to each ends supplies lateral thrust resistance for the arch.
The logic of the roof construction is principally to make use of a multi-ribbed steady beam to cut back the gap between beams so that every beam can extra easily full the 16-meter-long span. The cantilever half is identical. After the concrete beam completes the cantilever construction independently, the skinny metal column controls the general deflection. The slender metal column stands underneath the thick concrete multi-ribbed plate, bringing the architectural area poetic expression.
