Woyun Platform

Public Building for Archermit

The Woyun Platform is the entrance exhibition center of the Giant Panda National Park, taking the geological features of local bamboo forests, mists, and glacier debris as architectural imageries. The bamboo forest on the ground floor is used as a rural living room, which is a feedback to the surrounding villages; the suspended mists in the middle is used as a cultural display space; the debris on the top is used as a leisure space.

Unique Properties

The Woyun Platform is the entrance exhibition center of the Giant Panda National Park, taking the geological features of local bamboo forests, mists, and glacier debris as architectural imageries. The "bamboo forest" on the ground floor is used as a rural living room, which is a feedback to the surrounding villages; the suspended "mists" in the middle is used as a cultural display space; the "debris" on the top is used as a leisure space.

Production Technology

In order to complete the stars of the image, we studied on the lights, abandon the expensive, complicated process and custom bulb hoisting, and chose the side wash wall lamp, through setting a few key nodes in the LED project-light lamp, control the beam Angle, make the light in the perforated plate hole wall form light reflex, eventually form a vast sky image on the outside of aluminum plate.

Design Challenge

At night, the dome light turns the white and soft cloud platform into a dreamy star universe. Therefore, we have carried out innovative and exploratory practice in the following six points. 1.The circular curve is divided into 120 straight lines, and the building shell is divided into 2343 single surface, which reduces the wall thickness and construction cost of aluminum single plate without affecting the building effect; 2.Combined with the actual situation of local manufacturers, the aluminum veneer is split into a similar size within a specific range, and the smaller layout is combined to reduce the cost and uncontrollable risk (aluminum veneer production accuracy, construction and installation difficulty, etc.); 3.The lighting device is installed inside the cavity at the back of the aluminum veneer to restore the atmosphere of the star universe through the change of the color of the light and the different combination of holes on the aluminum veneer; 4.The overall effect is created. The meteor image created by the main entrance, the star image created by the overhead sunken square and the starry sky form a distinct relative relationship of "light and dark", which increases the visual depth of the building, and also endows the coordination and balance between the visible and hidden, interior and exterior of the three nodes.

Project Duration

Completion Date: September 2021 Project Address: Longmenshan Town, Pengzhou city, Sichuan Province

Operation Flow

The white 'bamboo forest' at the bottom is the foundation of the 'clouds', and the people gathered under the clouds are the foundation of the building. At night the dome beneath the 'clouds' is poetically lit by stars, and beneath them is a vivid scene of village life. The two "floating boulders" above the "clouds" and the landscape reflected in the water create a unique landscape painting. The activities of the villagers bring the most local flavour to “Woyuntai”, where rural life and contemporary art merge to form a small world of shared community culture. Here, where there are mountains and water above the clouds, and passion for life under the clouds.

Inspiration

Pengzhou has advantaged mountain water resources. Under the development framework of Chengdu's "park City", the development concept of "three-dimensional landscape park city" is put forward, trying to create a three-dimensional landscape picture park city of "city by the landscape and people in the park". The design of "Wanyuntai" integrates the core landscape elements of Pengzhou, hoping to make people feel the charm of pengzhou's natural landscape within this limited space.
