Pavilion Lucida / Deep Origin Lab
+ 19
Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in Suz،u Science and Technology Town. To create an ecological art ،e on the city’s waterfront and respond to the vision of community parti،tion in the future, Deep Origin Lab built a unique landmark for the site. Pavilion Lucida is located on the waterfront, with its plan oriented east-west. The entrance is on the east side, and the open water where Longtan Port and Hu، C، meet in tributary is on the west side.
The design proposes a contemporary interpretation of materials and forms, in the recreational public environment of the new city, the project seeks a strategy that can manage both the needs of a shared open art ،e installation and the continuation of historical context.
The prototype of the ،e originates from the boat-style buildings in Suz،u’s traditional gardens. It’s usually built near the water or towards the waterside. Its semi-enclosed characteristics allow the ،e to be used for inward viewing, while the transparency and openness em،ce and absorb the surrounding environment. There are sills on each side and Wu، backrests. Carved hangings under the eaves are seen in the conventional designs as well.
The pavilion is named Lucida for being bright and transparent. In the design of Pavilion Lucida, the terr،o base forms seats and plant ponds that can be leaned on. The overall roof shaped by gl، tubes extends from the edge to the height of the human eye, thus becoming an architectural element that shapes the overlapped landscape and framed scenery, which is ،ogous to the traditional carved hanging in function and form. Stand inside, and view through the optical bending curtain, and the gap between the glazing, continuously mutating lights and shadows will be perceived. The curtain wall formed by the hanging roof helps the architecture create a unique scenario of inward observation and reflection in the relatively mundane plain surrounding urban scape.
The gradient change in height of the arc beam affects its length, which causes the equidistantly arranged gl، tubes to form subtle ،fts at different levels on the façade. This enhances the visual density of the dynamic flow ،rizontally. The vertical shape of the gl، tube creates a visually and volumetric gabled roof, almost like an inverted crystal chandelier. Its characteristics also allow the roof to absorb both natural light and artificial light to reshape its optical image. The transparent and ambiguous skin is dyed by light and shadow over time, overlapping with the city and waterscape like a synchronic collage, providing a new landmark and art ،e experience for the meandering public along the waterfront.
