Textual content description supplied by the architects. When it comes to perform, modern buildings as compared with these up to now are sometimes confronted with a better stage of uncertainties. Throughout the life cycle of a constructing, the potential for change of perform and sample of use have turn into the brand new regular state. By a scientific method, the Exo Towers integrates the spatial format, structural kind, constructing envelop and mechanical companies into an entire , making a forward-looking and common area framework which facilitates a constructing with a better diploma of flexibility and flexibility.
——Yongzheng Li, Co-founder of UUA / Lead Architect
Background. Positioned within the central place of Jinghu New District, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, the Exo Towers are comprised of two towers, being 15 and 21-story excessive respectively, and linked collectively by a 70m-high central glazed atrium.
The constructing makes use of an exterior structural system that drastically reduces the variety of construction columns of the standard ground, creating giant and open workplace area, permitting for the continuing versatile division of purposeful format sooner or later. The Exo Towers, subsequently, derives its architectural language from the style by which the area and construction are utterly built-in.
Built-in Design. A 1.5m x 1.5m modular grid system is utilized to manage the architectural kind, place, and outline the spatial format, structural kind, constructing envelope, and MEP companies facilitating mutually dependent and outlined programs by means of collaborative interfaces.
Area and Construction. The constructing adopts a hybrid system of metal construction and concrete construction. The central concrete core and the exterior metal body collectively represent a supporting system. From the 4th ground of the constructing, the south tower and the north tower are composed of two and three repeated structural and spatial clusters, respectively. Every cluster consists of 6 flooring. The cluster on the south and north facades adopts a 4+2 mode and features a pair of 4-story excessive exterior columns to assist 4 typical flooring. The load on the backside of columns is transferred to the masts on either side by means of a pair of 2-story excessive diagonal braces. The double-height communal area and out of doors terrace are organized within the place akin to the brace. The cluster on the east and west facades adopts a 2+2+2 mode and consists from prime to backside of three teams of symmetrical hangers dropped from diagonal suspension trusses, creating column-free corners inside the workplace areas and providing a sweeping panorama of town.
The 70m full-height glazed atrium between the 2 towers is the spatial core of the entire constructing. Alongside the west facade, six sky bridges span between the 2 towers, and breaking down the size of the atrium each visually and socially enhances the constructing’s horizontal connections.
Constructing Envelop and MEP Providers. The main points and high quality of a constructing largely depend upon the presence of the envelop and repair terminals, in different phrases, how the 2 programs are harmoniously built-in into one seamless order. The cladding of the exterior construction, maybe probably the most attribute a part of this undertaking, adopts a linen sample stainless-steel plate, reflecting the environment and interacting with the sunshine that adjustments all through the day. Between the 2 towers, a 27-meter-wide glazed cover with a 15-meter cantilever creates a dramatic entrance expertise, resulting in the 70m-high atrium.
The identical design language is utilized to the south and north entrances of the constructing, with a guiding entrance area being shaped by a double-height glass curtain wall that retreats inwards. A cable-net glass curtain wall is used for the east facade of the atrium, creating extraordinary transparency and readability by hiding the anchors and spring assemblies in an ingenious method. Six sky bridges span between the 2 towers on the west facet of the atrium, structurally bearing the load of the glass curtain wall. Suspended from the atrium, the ceiling system filters daylight gently, whereas, at evening, it acts as atrium lighting. The upkeep catwalks of the ceiling system present an entry to scrub the glass roof and ceiling panels or change the luminaire.
