| The Wanjing Garden is located in Nanjing Hexi New Town district, adjacent to the west of Jiajiang, east of Riverside Avenue, on the south side near the Green Garden, north of the Hanbilou. The main plan is set to landscape the park, which is the part of the landscape belt of the 58 km Nanjing Riverside. The park has a total land area of 420,000 square meters and the construction area of about 310,000 square meters, which is designed and built a chapel building situated in a large green grass, the west side of a pond,the chapel has the area of 200 square meters with wood construction requirements, and stands with a modern building style in front of the crowd.As the planned enhancing project of park landscape orientation function, the chapel not only needs to meet the requirements of the people but the needs to meet people take pictures and put it as wedding background. Therefore, the internal demand, due to the relatively small area, the entire layout of the chapel’s interior features are relatively simple, the chapel has only one floor, the octagonal center of the chapel is the main feature, the corners of the small space (including toilets, prayer room, etc.) play a supporting role. Spatial distribution and heterogeneity reflects the characteristics of the centrality of the church building. In the image of the outer building, in which the topography of its requirements, it needs to keep coherence and integrity of the overall building image when people walk along on the west road, at the same time, as a designed landmark building, the chapel also needs to exist as the focus of the attention in the planning of the square. The chapel around the main function of the peripheral sets a "virtual" corridor, similar to the external corridor in Chinese traditional sense, there is a gray space, which is a transitional role to ensure that the building and the external environment is not a blunt combination, blended into the site in a relatively soft way, when people watching the chapel, they can have views of the surrounding landscape within the corridor of the chapel.Due to the location of the based site selection and the pre-planning reason for the road, the entrance should be set on the south side of the chapel, linked to the south road which guides the two directions of the stream of the people, at the same time, this is the only entrance to the chapel. Grass land surrounds the chapel, people can also reach the chapel through it. Because of the factors of the site, the chapel, as the only functional architecture, distinguishes the landscape small pavilion, should not form the traditional sense of the massive show in front of visitors, and is to be presented lightweight minimalist modern church gesture to comply with the characteristics of the entire park. Therefore, the structure selection of the chapel plays an important role in the context of wood construction, after repeated screening and the comprehensive comparison, from the initial light wood structure to the weight structure, to the final mix of steel and wood structure, it always persists the concept that the chapel should be located on the green grass in a light way, while only knowing the combination of materials well, you could determine the rationality of the building structure selection,but reasonable and correct structural system choice could not only ensure the quality of the chapel, but also give you a good draw for the future days!After the design the chapel sits with an extremely elegant posture on the grass in Wanjing Garden, Nanjing, the whole area has become the most out of color embellishment, after the completion of the chapel, it will greatly enhance the popularity of the Area, the study is both for a comprehensive explore architectural design discussion but also for a comprehensive grasp of the material structure and site factors for the future church design, and it provides a strong draw!... |
