[at architecture] view and Thinking — on the main exhibition hall of Jiangsu Horticultural Expo


In addition to high-quality hot spring resources and hilly woodland landscape, the land is dotted with many huge mines and abandoned factories.

Both the pine trees on the top of the silo and the tree array in the courtyard give people a unique experience# The polysemy of 024mx4m grid system Liu Yichun’s main exhibition hall group building essentially belongs to the protection and renewal project of Industrial Relics, and is also the theme functional building of Jiangsu garden and Expo Park.

  Today, our city has entered a high-quality development stage, and great changes have taken place in the working context and scope faced by architects.

In urban renewal, when building renewal and reuse are combined with green buildings, it will bring more important significance.

As the recommender of this phase of “at architecture”, I felt that the design and presentation of the main exhibition hall exceeded our expectations.

Lifting Anchor

The new 4mx4m space grid system showed lightness and openness, which was in contrast to the existing heavy and closed industrial buildings.

After many careful surveys, we have decided to adopt the strategy of “protecting when we can, and using up when we can”, that is, in addition to dismantling individual simple sheet iron scaffolds, we should try our best to retain and make full use of the existing buildings, including some important industrial equipment.

As the protection and utilization of Industrial Relics combined with ecological restoration, the design and construction characteristics of the main exhibition hall are prominently reflected in four aspects: first, as a building group, the old and new buildings are integrated with a three-dimensional grid system to form a new space group; Second, as a structural system, the three-dimensional grid system emphasizes the logical relationship between the main structure system and the facade structure system, showing a new sense of industry; The third is the application of new materials under the three-dimensional grid system, such as polyurethane and UHPC blocks; The fourth is the plant system, where plants have also become a special building material and vocabulary, which are integrated into the construction of architectural space and landscape construction.

Taking the old industrial buildings as the background, the new buildings are interspersed with the height difference of the base, from the former square, the main entrance and the new exhibition hall to the reserved industrial tower and the mountains behind, forming a good space guidance and sight corridor.

As the first tasting item in the first issue of the “at architecture” column after revision, the reason for choosing the main Pavilion of the 11th Jiangsu Horticultural Expo is not only to face the complex balance between the short-term Expo and the long-term utilization in the future, but also to face the structure, materials and Plants and a series of ingenious “light intervention”.

Cui is requested to give a general introduction to the design of the project# 01 “light” vs “heavy” Cui Kai since Xinggang put forward the revision of architectural skills, it will dissect and share some domestic cases with important technological innovation, which is a very meaningful thing.

Subsequently, most of the comprehensive exhibition functions have been determined.

Zhang Lei, we participated in the design of the main exhibition hall of the Expo Park.

today is the first architectural product seminar in the miscellaneous Journal of architectural skills – the main exhibition hall of the 11th Jiangsu Provincial Garden Expo, In the morning, Guan Fei and Dong Yuanjing, the main designers of academician Cui’s team, led the visit and explained.

Finally, a rich and green modern public space was reborn on the dilapidated industrial ruins.

At the invitation of Mr.

Overview of the main exhibition hall project of Jiangsu Horticultural Expo the 11th Jiangsu Horticultural Expo is located in Tangshan, Nanjing, a traditional hot spring resort in Nanjing, near an abandoned hilly mining area, with a total land area of about 6.9 square kilometers.

  From the perspective of Industrial Relics, each industrial building has its own production process logic..

At the same time, we are still thinking that in such an environment surrounded by mountains, buildings should finally integrate into nature, so most light frames around buildings can climb plants, hoping to become a green garden and disappear into nature in the future.

On this basis, new buildings are added to meet the future exhibition functions of the Expo Park and its future.

When I first arrived at the site in September 2018, I saw a dilapidated factory.

For me, more than 30 years of design practice has always been accompanied by the transformation with the times.

Between the old and the new, it not only engraves the architects’ Thinking on history and time, but also stimulates each designer’s thinking on architectural creation and urban construction.

The site of the main exhibition hall is the largest cement plant site built in the 1970s.

Yinjia and Kunyuan cement plants make maximum use of the terrain to build the production line on a site with a height difference of more than ten meters from east to west, with a shed and raw material storage yard nearby.

In addition to the newly added hotels, what strategies should be adopted in the design to transform and be as inclusive as possible in the future.

Of course, architects like concrete very much, but here we think we can not use concrete, but form a contrast between new and old.

The main exhibition hall project of Jiangsu Garden Expo Park is a very new attempt.

Although this cement plant is not as large-scale, old and complete as Huaxin Cement Plant in Huangshi, Hubei Province, and no design archives have been consulted, we believe that as an industrial relic, it represents the memory and mark of an era and has certain retention value.

This light structure system has become an important system to shape the building space and green environment, which is not a deliberately expressed structure.

Therefore, its architectural design should not only face the relatively short theme functional requirements of the garden and Expo Park, but also consider the use of long-term functions in the future, but also deal with the natural mountain environment, It can be said that the design of this project is under multiple and complex conditions.

The stock renewal of less building, more building, less expanding cities and more darning cities is increasingly entering the practice of architects.

[at guide] architectural skills has been revised since Issue 7 of 2021.

Facing the proposition from industrial sites + plant horticulture, academician Cui Kai led the team of the local design and research center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to solve the main exhibition hall scheme with the design strategy of “light intervention”: relying on the diverse industrial architectural remains and rich height difference in the site, the light modern exhibition hall community is realized with the slender steel assembly system, Make the green art garden diffuse among the coarse industrial plants, and use the green space to bridge the damage caused by industrial production to the mountains and nature.
