Green Incubator / Plus Three Architecture

One Trinity Green is a new, high-tech business centre for SMEs in the renewables sector. Forming Phase 1 of the Trinity South development in South Shields, the scheme redevelops and regenerates a brownfield site formerly occupied by an electronics factory which was one of the major employers in the town.

The building is conceived as 3 contemporary, flexible, ‘Victorian’ warehouses each with a distinctive character but bound together by a singular ribbon of elevation and a range of shared social spaces. An elevated roof garden provides further amenity and further differentiates One Trinity Green from other similar ‘incubator’ developments.

Each ‘warehouse’ benefits from exposed structure (for passive cooling), opening windows and a central winter garden (to aid cross ventilation) and a robust palette of materials (to minimise damage during tenant churn).

The design concept seeks to address the social issues of multi-occupancy buildings by creating a clustered arrangement of studios and hybrid units and through the celebration of circulation space as a social amenity and interaction space.

Completed in May 2012, One Trinity Green is one of the first in the region to achieve a BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ rating through a combination of simple, passive environmental techniques allied to a large array of roof-mounted, photovoltaic panels. The pre-construction BREEAM score was measured at 87.7%.

Edificio de Laboratorios – Ramón Carrillo / Moscato Schere Todo Terreno + MS+ DPF UNLa

(2013/09/03)

Estos edificios forman parte de la apertura y consolidación de un nuevo eje urbano dentro del polígono actual de la universidad.

El Edificio de Epidemiologia es el primero de una “serie” de obras que se desarrollarán bajo una misma matriz formal, constructiva y tipológica pero con distintos usos y programas. El Edificio de Laboratorios aquí presente es el segundo de dicha serie que se completará en el futuro con la construcción del Edificio de Dormis.

En el interior de cada edificio los diversos subprogramas se sectorizan en bloques dispuestos en relación de giro en torno al patio central y se relacionan con este mediante al espacio circulatorio vidriado.

La definición y características de los subespacios es libre y variada: pudiendo ser abiertos o cerrados, cubiertos o semicubiertos, vidriados u opacos.

En el perímetro exterior, los muros y muretes perimetrales, acompañan el ordenamiento interno de la planta y cumplen funciones variadas tales como las de sostén, control de luz, de nivel de privacidad, etc.

Por último y no menos importante, brindan homogeneidad de lenguaje entre las caras de cada edificio y entre la “serie” de edificios.

Yungang Grottoes Museum in Datong / Do Union Architecture

(2013/08/30)

Yungang Grottoes Museum in Datong(approved construction by State Administration of Cultural Heritage and Shanxi provincial government in 2010). Established on the west edge of Yungang Grottoes in Datong, within the scenic spot of Conservation Zone, is one of subprojects at the whole renovation area of Yugang Grottoes. Situated in southwest of the scenic spot, enclosed by Northern Wei Grottoed in north .The project covers a total construction area of 9939.46 square meters, containing an exhibition hall and a multi-functional performing arts center(recovered at the site of the ancient city).

The entire appearance is designed to present the arrangement of several arching-shaped strips in 4 meters wide by 40 meters long each. The exhibition hall is a one layer long-span space, which is 6 meters deep underground while the highest elevation above ground is 5.8 meters. The performing arts center based on the careful recovery of histrionic place in south edge has an underground layer which is as high as 3.6 meters, the height of cornice on ground floor is 7.0 meters. On the front facade，the architect took the design of hollow-out，which is benefit for side and makes the whole building more slim and graceful.

Design concept

Yungang Grottoes is one of largest grottoes in China. There are 45 main caves,252 niches, and over 51000 stone sculptures, enjoying the fine reputation around the world with its delicacy and eternal beauty. The whole masterpiece reaches the first peak of Chinese Buddhist arts, representing the most outstanding Chinese Buddhist cave arts in 5th and 6th century. Since one thousand five hundred years, Yungang Grottoes has suffered from rigors of time, bad effects of weathering, erosion and earthquakes, the cave and sculptures are dilapidated and incomplete，causing serious damages.

For this reason, the new building must stand a clear and positive attitude to the improvement of the scenic spot. Therefore, unlike the usual approach, the volume of construction sinks into ground to avoid the negative changes toward the ancient heritage and its surrounding environment. Applying modern techniques to contemporary architecture, the museum is perfectly integrated into the entire scenic area.

As designing, the large dimension building of an area of 6000 square meters is almost hidden under the ground. What’s more, strengthening with its 300-meter-long roof, the building expresses a simple and smooth architectural language, as a fine rhythm into the beauty of land. With the “openness and vast” artistic conception serving as a means for expression, the whole architecture Grottoes’ profound history and brilliant artistry.

A new architectural landscape after 1500 years will bring a bright future for the exquisite cultural heritage and recall its beauty of delicacy and vicissitudes to the whole world. View of top, the roof with the simple rhythm in wave makes the whole building a sense of gravity, since using the match with surroundings, it is perfectly integrated into the entire scenic area.
