 Bjarke Ingels Group's Danish company has developed a technology center in Taipei, Taiwan, which comprises a cube-shaped structure with round holes cut in volume.


Danish firm Bjarke Ingels Group have designed a technology centre for Taipei, Taiwan, comprising a cube-shaped structure with round voids cut from its volume.

Called TEK (Technology, Entertainment and Knowledge Centre), the holes in the structure will create a spiral within the volume, which form the path from the street into the building and the height of your ceiling.
Entertainment, Technology and Knowledge Centre - aka TEK Taipei - is a dense city block or activities related to technology and mass media.


The cube = TEK3
Spiral Street programs media is consolidated into a bucket of 57x57x57 m3 a program steeped in public history of life of people.


The building consists of concrete shells, an array of stacked thin plates, who will retire in the center and serve as a ladder where the holes were reduced in the structure.


These areas can also provide increased informal seating areas for visitors.


The center will include exhibition halls, exhibition halls, an auditorium, restaurants and galleries, organized around the central spiral.


Retail spaces, a hotel and offices will also be incorporated.


The cube is finished in layers of concrete that acts as a sunscreen, and public access.
Blades back into the public forming a generous staircase that allow the public to enter the front and all the way to the ceiling.


TEK consolidate Taipei exhibition spaces, showrooms, shops, a market and a hotel, offices and conference rooms everything related to media in a single entity superfunctional.


According to information published by the architects:


TEK - Technology, Entertainment and Knowledge Center Taipei




At the heart of the institution, a public auditorium will host product launches, launch programs, movie trailers and gaming tournaments, and the Taipei Biennial TEK as the anchor recurring event for all the complex.
TEK3 contains an almost urban mix of the programs without apparent hierarchy.


We propose the organization of the stores and showrooms, offices and hotel rooms, conference rooms and exhibition spaces, restaurants and galleries along an internal extension of the pedestrian street to the south.

HuaiNan Animation Technology Industrial Park. Sunlay Design. China.

Location: Sunlay design studio in Beijing has designed this building to house the headquarters of a science park in the city of Huainan, Anhui Province, China.

Project is located in a industrial park in Huainan, China.

Design:

The building will consist of two structures, a double tower and a building overhang -which will be connected by a glass walkway on the second floor.


Program:

The urban complex will have a five-story office building, an exhibition center, underground parking and a public square.

B1: Parking, personal security system and mechanisms of the room
1F Exhibition and Sales Center
2F: offices, meeting rooms and muti-functional
3F: offices, meeting rooms and file rooms
4F: offices, meeting rooms
5F: roomsThis project is primarily a place for the park to be built. The building consists of two parts connected by a bridge architecture that runs on the 2nd floor.

A 5-story office building with a height of 23.1 m, total area of 5,500 square meters.

- A part of this, an exhibition center two floors with a height of 18.45 m, total area of 2,800 square meters.

- A square with an area of 780 square meters and an underground car park with an area of 3,200 square meters, through which people can find access to both sides of the building.

The idea of the volume of the building and the space comes from melting ice cubes. Ice cubes tend to create a smooth connection between them, and fusion.

Ice Cube Model:

It took the lining of the breach, as part of the design elements that are facing the problem of division of the coating, the coating concept for the ice wine, with a color gradient from edge to center because of refraction occurs as a beam of light through.

In order to create a gradient of gray-tempered, there are 3 different sizes of filler panels in each area, with a size of 2 panels are placed randomly by the Panel 1 and Panel 3 inorder to creat a smooth transition.


Conceptual development:
The edges always appear darker and more solid than it appears in the center. He tried to get the same effect via the remote control and the differences in density.This concept begins with the normal boxes through which architects get integrated space and fluid breakdown and re-connect the boxes with curved surfaces. This type of spatial organization of the building brings much more complexity and diversity.

Solution Structure:

The two buildings are constructed of steel with a connection to the gateway on the second floor.

Construction should begin in 2011.

Landscape:

Treated as an extension of the building, paving surrounding the architecture is designed to accept the connection of the building where the coating is in contact with the ground, so that the pattern of land and building walls are repeated.

Design:

The building consists mainly of 11 and 14 of the front surface. Curved surfaces to be covered by the coating. Two of these surfaces are curved surfaces with double curvature, while 12 of them were optimized to produce divisions and easier.1,2,3 groups will be used for surfaces and front panels will be used to craft 2,3,4 curved surfaces, therefore, four dimensions of the panel in total.

Beijing Sunlay Design Group CO., Ltd

Founded in 1990, is one of the designing companies which firstly implemented the joint stock system directly under the administration of the Ministry of Construction, and has acquired the top-class designing qualification in 1994. After over a decade’s development, it has grown into a medium complex with comprehensive designing capacity, possessing a designing team of over one hundred members.
