Minimalism originated from Western modernism in the early 20th century. The famous saying of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the European modernist architect, "Less is more" is considered to represent the core idea of minimalism.
The characteristic of minimalist style is to simplify the design elements, colors, lighting, and raw materials to the minimum, but it has high requirements for the texture of colors and materials. Therefore, simple design is usually very subtle and often achieves the effect of less is more and simple is better than complex.
The VR Exhibition Center of Nanchang VR Science and Technology Innovation City is adjacent to the Central Lake and the Central Green Space. It is located at the intersection of Jiulong Avenue and Kechuang Street. It has excellent landscape resources and city display interfaces. It builds a VR tour experience area together with the conference center on the east side of Jiulong Avenue.
Based on VR virtual reality technology, that is, the combination of virtual and reality, the designer wrote here. The entire building fully reflects the interactive experience of "virtual and real" of VR technology. The building is physical, but through the selection of materials and the design of the shape, the entire building volume is virtualized. The surrounding natural environment is mapped to the wavy body created by the silver high-gloss aluminum composite panel, and the overall building and the surrounding natural environment have an intimate exchange of virtual and real interaction.
The building's skin is spirally ascending, forming a continuous and simple whole. The transparent glass under the building's skin makes the building appear to float. At the same time, the entrance is concave, forming an entrance naturally. The building is solid, but through the selection of materials and the swing of the facade aluminum plate unit, a wave shape is formed to increase the richness of the facade.
The design of the shape further virtualizes the entire building volume. The surrounding natural environment is mapped onto the wave shape created by the silver high-gloss aluminum composite material. The overall building and the surrounding natural environment have an intimate exchange of virtual and real interactions, showing a sense of future technology.
The designer uses innovative two-dimensional flat metal plates and parametric design to construct a three-dimensional wavy shape. The irregular skin is optimized into several standard sections, which saves costs and is conducive to construction. The complex shape is simplified to achieve a three-dimensional modeling effect through two-dimensional materials. Without affecting the shape, the civil engineering is cantilevered layer by layer, which controls the cantilever depth of the curtain wall keel and saves costs.
The main plate size of the metal aluminum plate separation is 5.35mX0.6m, the length is controlled within 6m, which is easy to transport, and the width is 0.6m, which can minimize the loss of material cutting. The aluminum plate splitting adopts a staggered design to avoid the problem of misaligned gaps caused by large errors in on-site construction. Except for the trapezoidal plates at the corners, the others are rectangular standard plates, and the construction and cost are controllable.
The exhibition center structure adopts a 24-meter span to meet the needs of large exhibition hall space and column-free exhibition. The 7-meter cantilever + 24-meter inclined column + giant glass skylight structure creates an interactive environment between reality and the future.
The building entrance adopts glass or cable-suspended glass to achieve a light and transparent effect, combined with the large atrium space in the building, with a high degree of unity in shape and function. The 40mm ultra-thin entrance floating board canopy is formed in accordance with the flow of the building shape. The refined design creates the quality of architectural details.
