2020 WAN Awards entry: Flying - KLID Daguan International Architectural Design Office

Flying by KLID Daguan International Architectural Design Office is an entry in the Facade category of the 2020 WAN Awards

by Copy taken from 2020 entry 29 April 2020 2020

The project is located at Jiangyin city, the center of the Yangtze River Delta urban economic planning zone.We want to create an urban art experience center.Government hopes the project as a representative of city , wants to make people get together, have more activity space.The design inspiration comes from the "flying over the water surface". Take the water from the Yangtze river to the landscape pool, and design two building blocks around the landscape pool. The two building blocks are connected by the emptying layer, and the gathering space is formed under the emptying layer, which can be used for public activities.

Looking at the whole building, the design of the structure is like a pair of flying wings, full of power and rhythm. The cantilever structure is adopted, and no column net is seen from the appearance. The exterior material is made of white and gray aluminum plate with beige marble, which makes the geometric shape run through the indoor and outdoor space. Through the turning and interweaving of the body block, the space-sensing air permeability is formed, which weakens the boundary between the inner and outer space, and at the same time creates a different functional space.

The center of the waterscape is designed with a quiet path that runs through the multi-functional display experience area. The mirrored infinity pool on both sides of the trail serves as a unique natural landscape, strengthening the overall relationship between the building and the water symbiosis.
