| DESIGN NAME: Shenzhen Social PRIMARY FUNCTION: Welfare Center INSPIRATION: The two buildings for the children and the elderly are independent but share resources. The buildings, facing the south, can be divided or connected via corridors. The building is constructed multiple layers, applicable and economical. Courtyard combination embodies Lingnan artistic conception. Red brick shows an elegant and simple feeling. Our design goal is to control cost, carry forward Lingnan features and create a bright, spacious and warm architectural hue with good ventilation. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project is by far the largest comprehensive social welfare center in Shenzhen, housing the children's home and the old people's home. Sited at the north of Guanguang Road, Longhua District, the site, surrounded by industrial plants, has a height discrepancy of 3-6 m. Thus, these multi-story buildings are extended along the north-south axis with corridors connecting each other. The medical building sits at the center, easily accessible to the children's home and the old people's home. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: We investigated the situations of foreign and domestic welfare architecture development for the first time. Thus, we considered solutions from aspects of planning and architecture, and deeply and meticulously studied difference between functional units of children and the elderly. Units for children have a detailed and clear subdivision, from 0-1, 1-1.5, 1.5-3 years old, etc., and disabled groups. We made a detailed conception and contrast of each part. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Design time: July 1, 2013 Completion time: December 29, 2016 Location: Guanlan Town, Longhua New District, Shenzhen FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Each building is independently operated yet connected, convenient for further functional transition and response to regional climate. The traffic circulation route emphasizes the strategy of 'separation of people and vehicles', and vertical traffic distribution is achieved via the corridor. The main structure uses an ordinary reinforced concrete frame. The column network size is between 7-9 m, and the roof has an ordinary reinforced concrete floor system that uses cast-on-site beams.
