Production Technology
The design of Ligongdaqujiangxiaoqu station is based on the background of Xi'an university of technology, the theme of the design is logic and sequence. The geometric spatial model of the station is obtained in the way of logical derivation, and geometric triangles are twisted, transformed and arranged to install a set of triangular matrix modules in order. The mirror image and array logic processing techniques are used to form a perception journey full of a sense of future.
Design Challenge
Due to Xi'an being the capital of 13 dynasties and one of the four ancient capitals in the world, its strong inherent historical and cultural heritage makes it impossible to overlook and breakthrough. During the project development process, designers need to collect and analyze resources around different stations, identify their differences, and enhance the recognition of cultural stations through the design characteristics of each station in the leap of cultural and artistic design elements.
Project Duration
Xi’an metro line 5 started in 2018 in Xi’an and finished in November 2020，and was operated in December 2020.
Operation Flow
The design of Xiyaotou station extracts curved surfaces and colors, and the ripples to arranged forms. The ripple aluminum punching mesh on curved surfaces is used for the ceiling design of vertical streamline area, and extended to the decoration on columns. The ceiling of Yanxianglu station outlines a vivid of petals by lighting lines, and the outer area is installed with wooden grilles to enhance path guidance and showcase the journey of perception through material and color comparison.
Research
In order to transform the previous urban transportation functional space into a public space with urban theme characteristics, it is necessary to combine specific elements of the station to create a unique spatial style in detail. The surrounding area of Xiyaotou station is a circular plot with many water treatment plants. So that the design is inspired by the symbol translation of ripples, and the ceiling, columns, and tiles are decorated with water ripple shapes.
Inspiration
Metro line 5 is located in Xi'an, one of the cities with the longest history and culture. Its profound historical heritage carries a strong inherent perception. On this basis, designers need to perceive and explore the combination of Xi'an's history and modernity, laying a more solid foundation for the sustainable development of the city in the future.
