Overview

The project is located in the TOD plan of Chengdu. Since this project is an important spatial node for the distribution of multiple public transport flows, a public space that is both symbolic and allows the fast-moving people to stay is the starting reason of the project.
1.Design concept – dancing ribbon
The designer integrates inspiration which transformed from the dancing ribbon into the space design, not only makes it as a link between the upper and lower relationships as a metaphor of the city’s rhythm and vitality. The “ribbon” starts from the ground plane and surrounds the interior of the building, creating a sense of volume and line inside. It guides visitors to visit the internal space, and at the same time ingeniously resolves the traditional, static, box-like space display form.
2.Urban public space
Functions: public hall, ladder square, reading coffee, parent-child learning
For the surrounding group of people, the public space is the link that connects the surrounding group lives. Centered on social interaction, the space can meet diverse use needs, or leisure communication, or immerse in the world of reading alone, or the ladder square of cultural salon activities, which can accommodate diverse needs. People stay, communicate and gather here.

Goals

We wanted to create a place for people to stop, have a cup of coffee and read a book in the urban nodes where people are moving fast. Break the strangeness between people and increase the interaction between people.This is an urban public space. The project is located in an important location with multiple public transport hubs.We want to create an iconic public space where fast moving people want to stay. Function setting: Public hall, Ladder square, Reading, Cafe, Parent-child learning.

Process

We integrates inspiration which transformed from the dancing ribbon into the space design, not only makes it as a link between the upper and lower relationships as a metaphor of the city's rhythm and vitality. The "ribbon" starts from the ground plane and surrounds the interior of the building, creating a sense of volume and line inside. It guides visitors to visit the internal space, and at the same time ingeniously resolves the traditional, static, box-like space display form.We use lightweight aluminum, which is used to make metal panels that are light and hard enough to make ribbons.
