Introduction
Bishan Cultural and Art Center is located in the north side of Central Park Lake, Bishan, Chongqing. It is one of the earliest start projects of this area, as it is the most important public cultural construction of public service center buildings in Chongqing Green island district. Qianlong ” Bishan county situation ” record that : In the past, people used to say that the mountains were like jade, and there was a saying that the mountains were made of white stones, which were bright and smooth as jade, so they called it Bishan (jade mountain).
Reason to Be Selected
3 massifs standing oppositely on the current site, the valley extends nearby. As the big initiation of our design, this natural relationship is the best answer to the natural, the city and the local cultural. The mass is cut according to the tends of the valley, it is opening the way to the vitally important public space nearby. The landscape of the west will extends into the building through the platform of the 2nd floor . The public platform that connects to 3 mass, is becoming a vibrant parlor of the city.
Highlights:
The logic of graphic generation also make the difference texture between the inner and outer surface of the building. The outer surface of the main volume of the building is covered by the gray grilles and the glass curtain wall, that solves the problem of the west sunburn. The horizontal line formed by the orderly metal plates, makes the outer surface simple, pure and modern. Meanwhile, this kindly simple highlights the complexity and the variety of the inner space.Details
We have organized the multi-functional space of the Cultural and Art Center into three parts: main space, auxiliary space and transportation space.
Recommended
Function rooms are set around a public platform, simulate the appearance of the original terrain. Theater is in the east side, conference center, the cultural center, the TV station and other functions are in the other side. Audience enters different venues from different layers, and the service part connects several volumes together under the platform.
The glasses, metal plates and aluminum mesh on the triangle plane from different perspectives appear alternately in the interface of introverted valley. They are consolidated by the texture like the ice crack, a Chinese traditional pattern. All the “inner” interface features a crystal surface, and the sparklingly translucent “complexity” make the valley became the visual focus of the to-and-fro throng.
Conclusions
Bishan Cultural and Art Center reproduces the description of “Bishan” in an abstract architectural language, which is also a mapping of the surrounding landscape elements. We want this public building to be a “place”, not just a building.
