We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Zhang Jinyu about their original and creative Library design work. Zhang Jinyu is an award-winning architectural designer, that makes our world a better place with their original library works.
Zhang Jinyu ("ZJ") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Floating Chip Library. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
ZJ : It is more like a floating chip, an artificial cloud. But what is certain is that it brings great appeal to the community. An opportunity to become a city business card. Simple but changeable horizontal floors and transparent glass curtains are also a Mies style deconstruction.
ZJ : Those who enter the space can feel a beautiful expression of structure and space. The interaction between people and space achieves the goal of the highly flexible cross-cultural atmosphere.
ZJ : This award has given me a lot of encouragement. I will try to think about more design issues in this way.
ZJ : The project started in Guangzhou in April 2011 and was completed in March 2012.
ZJ : It was a group proposal.
ZJ : No company is currently in production for this design. I hope my design can be acquired.
ZJ : It is an interesting academic project for professors. We participated in research and design and wanted it to be able to land.
ZJ : Christian Kerez's work, he innovatively combines structure and space. Introduce the right of structure to speak in architecture.
ZJ : Community government may be our target customer.
ZJ : As a social occasion for the new community in the future, it is more like a platform, providing the most friendly rather than closed urban living room for citizens.
ZJ : The public space at the center of the community determines the quality of the community. The relationship between the traditional building surface and cities and streets is alienated and overly clear. The key to breaking closed social relationships is building flexible building skins.
ZJ : Rhino, adobe, vary.
ZJ : The irregular skin, the absolutely open ground-floor and the roof garden are the impression of the library. The compact core box will store a series of books and new media information.
ZJ : I designed this project with my undergraduate students, and I developed the concept of this project to make it more mature.
ZJ : Suspended, but not supported, floor slabs were achieved in the optimization of the steel structure. It's a rethinking of technology and design relevance.
ZJ : The project is based on technology and wants to use the advantages of technology to maximize the liberation of reading space and the re-interpretation of urban publicity.
ZJ : The realization of structure has a decisive influence on the communication of concepts. The rationality and ductility of the steel structure need to be discussed.
ZJ : Recommendation from my friend.
ZJ : I explored the structural innovation and the future of architecture.
