Chongqing Yuanlu Community Center, Chongqing, China
2nd prize of 2018 China Wood Construction Design Competition Award, Club House
Facing Yulin River, the Project sits next to Longxing Ancient Town, Chongqing, China, mirrored by rolling hills in the distance and a centralized green area. Natural landscape on the east side is exceedingly fascinating while its counterparts on the other sides are relatively ordinary.
The architect places three buildings of different sizes side-by-side on the hillside and vertical to the riverside road, looking to achieve the optimum visual effect of riverfront landscape and distant mountains. Each space is designed with various sizes by the architect according to its functions, including exhibition hall, book bar, swimming pool, and Cafe, forming multiple sequential courtyard spaces
In order to demonstrate the philosophy of authenticity of architecture, space, form and structure, architects use timber to closely link space and structure, thus making the architecture itself have the "virtue of honesty".
The three boxes of this project are constructed with Canadian Douglas Fir wood as main structure, Exposed Glulam structures are applied as the crucial visual element for wooden buildings. The order and form similar to the sloping roofs in Chongqing are adopted for expression. Architects convert varying units into structural components and arrange those components in a certain changing mode, so that the architectural form changes with the space.
Adopted as the main interfacial material, hexagonal aluminum plates are covered on the interior structure by architects. Building surfaces are adaptive to changes in building form; each aluminum honeycomb plate is finely wrapped, slotted, and spliced. Digital manifestation produces a modern sense of "Cyberpunk"; the surface characteristics appear in natural light, and complicated and mysterious visual effects are generated as the light changes.
Technology
In pursuit of ultimate architectural beauty, design and construction are integrated for the Project. The BIM system is adopted to achieve overall project control. All Exterior retaining walls and roofs are constructed with the light wood frame (SPF&OSB) which supplied by Canadian company. Each structural component is optimized thanks to programming design, manufactured by CNC machines, and installed on site. Digitization concepts and advanced technologies are applied to pre-control and dynamically manage the Project. With 3D positioning, very few errors occur during installation. It takes only 25 days from the installation of the wooden structure to the completion of the roof structure.
The design of the wooden column foot connection is novel, and the horizontal and vertical errors can be flexibly adjusted at the same time. Steel members are arranged at the stress concentration point, in order to completely hide the steel connections, the novel steel-wood connections are designed, but the construction difficulty of the wood structure is also increased. This technology originated in Canada, due to the light weight of the material, very few workers can carry it, which greatly improves the installation efficiency of the site.
