“대나무 숲의 추상적인 인상을 나타내는 가느다란 흰색 기둥은 건물 외관과 주변 풍경 사이에 스크린을 제공하는 방식으로 건물 둘레에 위치합니다. '대나무' 기둥은 건물로의 접근을 구성하는 데 도움이 되도록 다양한 입구 주변을 깨끗이 합니다. 차양 캐노피는 지붕 수준에서 건물 둘레를 감쌉니다. 개념적으로는 대나무 숲 꼭대기에 존재하는 나뭇잎의 캐노피를 나타냅니다. 캐노피는 금색 양극 처리된 알루미늄 루버 행을 포함하는 다양한 삼각형 베이로 구성됩니다. 각 베이는 하루 종일 건물 외피를 가로질러 떨어지는 구조와 조명 및 음영 패턴에 유기적인 품질을 만들기 위해 무작위로 방향을 지정합니다.
Located close to Lake Taihu in Jiangsu Province, China, the Wuxi Show Theatre concept was inspired by the Sea of Bamboo Park in Yixing, the largest bamboo forest in China. The 2000 seat theatre has been designed to house a permanent water show by Franco Dragone and it is due to open in 2019.
The building’s appearance is composed of three primary elements, the columns, the shade canopy and the building envelope.
Representing an abstract impression of a bamboo forest, the slender white columns are positioned around the perimeter of the building in such a way as to provide a screen between the building façade and surrounding landscape. The ‘bamboo’columns clear around the various entrances to help frame the accesses into the building.
The shade canopy wraps around the perimeter of the building at roof level. Conceptually, it represents the canopy of leaves that exist at the top of a bamboo forest. The canopy is made up of various triangular bays containing rows of gold anodised aluminium louvres. Each bay is orientated randomly to create an organic quality to the structure and light and shade patterns that fall across the building envelope through the day. Each bay of louvres is also set at different angles to heighten the sense of variation when viewed from different angles.
Structurally, each bay of louvres is supported on a triangular lattice structure that braces the tops of the columns and transfers their load into the primary structure of the building. The environmental purpose of the shade canopy and columns are to provide shade over the surface of the façade to passively lower the cooling load on the building.
The building envelope is primarily composed of rendered and painted block-work and curtain wall glazing. The glazing is the full height of the building in and above the entrance lobby to provide maximum views into and out of the main public areas. It is fretted with white and gold stripes that travel the full height of the building mimicking the ‘bamboo’ columns and contributing to the effect of the building being the outer edge of a forest of bamboo.
At night, the building envelop is illuminated from below, becoming an ethereal beacon, glimpsed between the forest of ‘bamboo’ columns, drawing spectators and audience in from across the lake and surrounding development.
