| DESIGN NAME: Shenzhen Longhua Archive Complex PRIMARY FUNCTION: Archive Library, Exhibition and Office INSPIRATION: - UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The 130,000 m2 archive complex, located in Shenzhen Longhua District will sit immediately next to the Millennium Plaza and river banks park. The project is conceived as a porous and inter-connected urban cluster sensitively built in response to the local fabric and natural resources. The complex will house a 600 seat conference venue, exhibitions, events spaces and a dedicated children’s education center, that will all open up and connected with a loop of public and cultural promenade. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The archive complex on one hand the public facilities are open for public engagement and on other hand the archive storage required high level security. We have to balance the publicness of the building and at the same make sure an independent and secured operation will not be affected by the general public. The programs are arranged in a sectional relationship with multi-level exhibition and events spaces on the lower portion, storage and administrative offices gradually stack on top with a step back manner to allow daylight penetration and create sky terrace toward the river. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: Design started in Shenzhen in 2018; target construction completion year is 2020. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The archive complex comprises various programs that require different degrees of daylight, ventilation, and humidity control measures. For example, black boxes exhibition space require no daylight while atrium and office do. Archive storage is sensitive to humidity and daylight, thus opening is limited and shading is required. Hence, we proposed a metal veil skin strategy composed of fine extrusion of aluminum fins to unify the entire complex. During the daytime, the complex is rather pure and monolithic, while during nighttime, lights are diffused through the metal veil to give a different impression. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: - TAGS: urban living room RESEARCH ABSTRACT: - CHALLENGE: The land is divided into two narrow parcels, with the amount of built area, the challenge is to break away from the vertical tower typology and maximize the horizontal connectivity to engage public participation. The south main archive building steps down from the city side to create sky terraces towards the riverbank park without blocking the north exhibition building. A sunken plaza is setback from the river to create a public space within the complex. A multi-levels public promenade is introduced to link with diverse public programs as a loop and integrate with entrances from all sides.

Our systematic yet trans-boundary approach on design has been successfully applied to comprehensive project types including culture, education, hospitality, living communities, retail and working spaces. All of our projects are executed with critical attention to details and our completed projects have received renowned recognition from the professional industry.
