SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

Kitchen Extract Vents at Roof Level, away from neighbours

PVs shading electricity Roof PVs for electricity generation Green roof retains water, ensuring sustainable drainage

Roof is designed for rainwater runo allowing for e cient rainwater capture and storage

Planting provides solar shading for low sun, and protection from wind

Materials chosen based on low embodied carbon palette

Low ow toilets used throughout, reducing water use Greywater from sinks used to irrigate planting and ush WCs

Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR) at O ce Levels Triple Glazing could be used throughout the facade to reduce heat losses

Highly insulated envelope, from high-grade insulation in wall build-up

Embodied Carbon is reduced by reusing both the basement level and original foundations

AHU GSHP

Rainwater is stored in basement tanks, for use in WCs and for irrigation

Concept

Zicheng as the City Hall of ancient Jiaxing city, built 1700 years ago, is the only preserved gatehouse in China Jiaxing City. The ruin mainly includes ancient pavement bricks from Qing and Ming dynasty with tremendous archaeological v·alue.

Just like a mountain, half of the museum is under the ground . Through the museum’s window, tourists can only view the relic and exhibition underground; they can not enter the architecture from the facade, since the entrance to building is on the roof, which is both a plaza and an entrance. Tourists ramble from the sculpture stair down to the relic.Passing through columns of tensegrity seems like walking through in a forest.

ROLE IN TEAM: Concept Design & Tensegrity Design

PHYSICAL DETAIL MODEL express detail and connection way

The whole structure can be fabricated in industries, then be sent to the lyric site and construct. The entire process only takes few weeks. With the excavating of new heritage area , the heritage museum can be easily extend to meet the need.

Tensegrity Structure

Tensegrity is a structural principle based on the use of isolated component under compression inside a network of continuous tension, in such a way that the compressed members (usually bars or struts) do not touch each other and the prestressed tensioned members (usually cables or tendons) delineate the system spatially.

Tensegrity is a kind of extremely highefficient structure, which cover a large area with a minimum of materials. The structure integrity based on the combination of a few simple design patterns expresses mechanical stability, and allow the members to remain in tension/compression as stress on the structure increases. Features complement adaptive architecture

ROLE IN TEAM: Concept Design & Structure Design & Plan & Diagram

Concept

Our ancestor used to live in cave, where his heart and soul connect direcrly to the mother nature. But human being has disconnected with nature for a long time since we started living in boxes. Hard edges and cold corners have hindered our senses, we become clumsy in sensing the nature. The bath design therefore wishes to re-establish this long lost relationship with nature. It takes the form of sea snail shell, its internal cavity is generated through intertwining two spiral volumes into each other. The bath is where we nake ourselves, like the invulnerable snail in its shell, to let our heart and soul be as one with nature.

Experience

There is a sequence of experiences before people arrive the center of the bath, which is defined by varied floor levels. Raw stone become chairs, tables or even steps.

When people approach the center bath, he must bend down to step over a low entrance, which is not only the portal connecting inside and outside natures, but also the key point for people to choose between two baths with entirely different spatial experience and atmosphere.
