bynSTUDIO presents a design for an office complex, part of ORDOS 20 * 10, the new business district of Ordos, who is planning on growing third of Dongsheng District, in the northwest of the city of Ordos. Ordos is the fastest economic growth in the city in Inner Mongolia, China.
Ordos has 86,752 kilometers square, which is about 80 times the size of Hong Kong.
For this project, similar to the Ordos 100 project, the local government has decided to assemble a large group of architects. Instead of being 100 foreign architects, reduced the list to the top 20 architecture practices from China and 10 international experience in mainland China. More images and description of the architect after the break.
On the basis of a public lottery, T20 and P27 in plots assigned to / / / byn.
Both parcels are side by side. T20 is in a flat area and P27 on an incline. Including a public park storyline will host public services buildings. From the beginning, the two plots bynSTUDIO designed based on the same design principle, because of its proximity and direct visual connectivity.
Real Estate in Ordos is vigorous and dynamic. This unique situation brings to its citizens the opportunity to investigate on its own architectural identity.
Our proposed design is inspired by the origins of the culture of Inner Mongolia and their own recognition. Translation of a nomadic culture in architecture is only possible if the references have been translated from cultural and philosophical references in the architecture, based on its meaning and its iconography.
Inner Mongolia Weather is severe and strict. His roughness also implies a natural beauty that is hard to find elsewhere.
The cold and sandstorms teach us how to live in relationship with nature and its components:
protection, housing, environment intelligent construction techniques, operation of changing temperature during the day ... all these aspects will drive our architectural guidelines. In the past, the floor was a quantity of temperature stability.
Here we consider this element in a new way: the potential for sharing.
By occupying the depth we can connect the different buildings with a secure and shared public space.
This continuous space will host the entrance lobbies of public places and the program to share public facilities: auditorium, meeting rooms, business center, exhibition hall, restaurants. It also links to the building lobbies segregated to ensure the safe management.
This public space inside will be transferred with generous openings to secure the necessary needs of daylight. This space weather protection also provides an alternative to internal movement outdoor walkways along the business park.
We propose a rational plan typical plant is flexible enough to map all sizes of office space. As public services are in the public land shared office space can be fully usable.
A company may have a building, an entire floor or just part of a single plant, depending on your needs. The entrance lobbies are visually connected to the utility space, giving them the added value of an exhibit broader cross a small single building could not afford.
The area above the floor will be dedicated solely to office work areas. The vertical core and help to distribute vertical atrium space.
The cores have been located and designed according to the orientation and size of buildings. In smaller buildings (26mx26m) nuclei have been pushed to the north side, providing a larger office area to the south. In the larger buildings of the base has a central position that divides the two long strips of the bays of the office.
The verticality of a chimney pointing to the sky represents for us a sense of pride of a better and prosperous future. From public spaces to visitors can discover the Ordos blue sky through 'skyeyes' linking the public space in the basement office in the form of square plates. These courts are vertical according to the orientation of the sun and prevailing wind direction to ensure natural light, heating and passive ventilation.
The facade is wrapped with a fabric exterior.
The PVC leather base fabric is not parallel to the building envelope gives the freedom of building their urban planning "cubic" requirements. In addition to the different deformation conditions provide input space such as bus shelters or connections to the base of the building.
The outer skin of fabric can be rolled up and down depending on weather conditions.
During the open day will allow the construction of the heat gain during the night will roll down to keep warm.
This movement will bring the identity of the buildings: OPEN on the morning of buildings to accommodate users, at night the buildings closed as a metaphor for the end of the workday.
