Guilin

Exhibition Center for Tengyuan Design

After completion, the exterior facade will be clean, and there will not be black structural adhesive line or metal snap cap on the semi-exposed framing glass curtain wall. Double-sided printing is adopted for the outermost glass ribs on the building elevation: The two sides of the glass ribs are printed with color-glazed strips different in height, and there are different hill shapes on either side, making the surface patterns more three-dimensional. When taking a walk outside the building, people can see different hill shades at different locations.

Unique Properties

The building in the design draft remains a minimalist cube, and the only difference is that the curtain wall is processed in order to build a "landscape cube". The skillful use of artificial elements and abstract nature not only reveals the modernity of the showcased building, but also integrates the unique scenery of Guilin into the building.

Production Technology

On the front plaza, the reflection of the building in water makes the building more layered and expressive. The vertical glass ribs are arranged evenly and projected vertically onto the glass curtain wall. Due to different locations and angles, there appears a difference in the abundant overlapped transmissions, reflections and refractions among the glass layers, and a subtly changing dramatic effect can be produced under different illumination conditions.

Design Challenge

One of the innovations of the project is the single use of glass to present the spatial structure and poetic conception of the landscape in Guilin using different construction methods and surface processing methods.

Project Duration

The project started in May 2016 in Guilin and finished in September 2018 in Guilin.

Operation Flow

China has a longstanding tradition of bamboo culture, and Guilin also abounds in natural bamboo resources. We have designed a bamboo gallery on the main sightseeing route in the showroom to create an artistic conception of bamboo forest.

Research

The building curtain wall must not only show a spatial structure composed of distant, medium and close views, but also keep nightscape animation effects consistent with one another to avoid the appearance of "ripstop effects" caused by a stick curtain wall in nightscape lighting. After many discussions and technical communications, we finally decided to build a glass curtain wall with cantilever glass ribs.

Inspiration

The landscape in Guilin is the best in the world. Thus, the project of Guilin Culture and Tourism Exhibition Center deservedly chooses to highlight the theme of landscape. For this project, we hope to design it based on the landscape, express in a certain shape and endow it with a meaning, and use a pure glass box to arouse people's inner feelings for nature and landscape.
