云廊空中自习室选址在车水马龙的苏州古城区与吴中区的交界处,傍晚华灯初上的时候,柠黄色的灯光映照在高耸的写字楼间,绵绵绿意掩映婆裟的灯影,勾勒出一方悠闲、惬意的静谧空间。整个项目在视线可达的范围之中,对整个姑苏老城的历史风韵、传统文脉呈俯瞰之姿。

Located at the intersection between the busy Suzhou archaic zone and Wuzhong district, when lights lit up at nightfall, sky gallery, the aerial study room as leisure and cozy space outlined by the lofty building office with lemon yellow light and whirling lamp shadow covered by endless green. In the range of sight, the project overlooks the charming history and traditional culture of the whole ancient city, Suzhou.

在相对拥挤的原有空间里,“微观造园”是云廊自习室的设计手法,引入“廊”,“园”,“亭”的概念,在旧有基础上巧妙利用苏州传统的造园手法进行空间的延伸与重构,将其改造为开放与半开放的新型复合空间,在交错层叠的微景观里得到舒缓的精神世界。

In a relatively crowded space, the sky gallery was used the “microcosmic garden construction” method to be designed. By introducing concepts of corridor, garden, and pavilion, extending and reconstituting the space on the basis of existing by skillfully using garden constructing methods of Suzhou tradition, by which transforming it into a new composite space of open and semi-open. In the interlaced microcosmic view, one could get into a spirit world with leisure.

入口处以折角交错介入,提供了一种探索式的空间带入感。同时,在入口拐角处植入景观,伴随使用者的视线角度的变化呈现不同的形态,使得空间更具节奏与韵律。自习室的主通道也采用开敞式的流线型走向,解决了拥挤狭小空间不够流通的状况。从室外步入室内的过程,人的情绪也逐渐从喧闹过渡到舒缓,直到整个复合型空间完全呈现在眼前。

The entrance is interleaved in by a corner, which offered an exploratory sense of space access. Meanwhile, the landscape that was implanted in the corner of the entrance shows various morphologies with the change of the user‘s view, giving the space more rhythm and rhyme. The main path to the study room used the open streamlined alignment to solve the crowded situation that the space is too small to move. On the way from the outdoor to the indoor, the emotion could be gradually transformed from noisy to relief, until the composite space is wholly shown in front of the eyes.

空间内部利用轻质网状金属吊顶与连续秩序的钢架重塑游廊的意境,使大空间分割为不同尺度与功能的区域,但视线的阻碍并没有割裂空间的连续性,整个空间始终处于一种动静结合的平衡之中。

The interior space used a mesh metal ceiling in light quality and continuous ordered steel frame to reconstruct the artistic conception of the veranda, which divided the large space into areas with different sizes and functions. However, the impediment of sight didn’t segment the continuity of space. The whole space is always in a balance of dynamic and static combination.

空间与一层挑空空间衔接处,置入连续曲折的白色墙体,保证安全性,同时,墙体局部嵌入连续,可视化的窗洞,将空间内外的关系联通,引入室外的窗景,随着使用者行走的路径变化而偶然出现的绿色植物再次增强了空间的动态,移步易景,仿似游园。

The continuous and tortuous white wall was placed into the junction between the space and the void, which ensuring safety. Meanwhile, part of the wall was embedded with continuous and visible window, which link the interior space with the exterior space and bring in the outdoor scenery. With the change of users‘ walking path, occasionally shown green plants reinforce the dynamic of the space again. The scenery changes with walks seem like a garden tour.

项目没有选用繁缛的修饰和贵重的材料,仅在寻找空间的地理属性和自身的现状,再加以适合的材料去回应传统建筑的营造手法,为空间探索一种新的可能性。最终在材料选择上也一直紧跟超现实的现代复古语言,极为克制的回应当下的商业氛围。

The project didn’t use complex decorations or expensive materials, just explored a new possibility only by searching the locational attribute and own situation, plus the suitable materials to respond to the construction method of traditional architecture. Finally, in the selection of material, the project kept closely with the modern retro language and responded to the business environment with extreme restrain.

在这里,人们可以短暂逃离繁忙都市的现实,犹如置身于宁静的自然花园,在紧张的工作中使身心得到放松,从而提高学习效率。精巧构思的曲线性的工作台与直线性的走廊空间形成对比,连续的曲线界面将办内部空间分割成不同的区域,使人产生不同的过渡体验;铺设在桌椅下的绿色铺装好似置身草地氛围;穿插于工作台之间的相对低矮的蕨类等小型植物既能让客户感知自然,功能上又可切实地改善室内微气候与环境,使每一个角落都能被绿色充满;半通透式白色冲孔板围而不合,模糊了空间的边界,于是墙体的坚实感被消解,改变空间分割呆板的印象。纯粹、自然、轻盈是整个空间遵循的主题,在喧闹的姑苏街景映衬下,它仿佛是静止的,成为都市中一道亮丽的风景线。借窗外市井的生活,不同场景的引入让每一个自习角落都不尽相同,或绿或白让每一个客户都有一个专属于他自身的栖身之所。

Here, people could briefly leave away from the busy reality in the city. It makes people feel like in a quite natural garden. Either body or emotion could get relaxed from the busy work so that enhancing the study efficiency. The well-constructed curved workbench in contrast with the linear corridor space. The continuous curved interface divides the interior office space into different areas, making different transition experience. The green mat under the desks and chairs makes people feel like in the meadow. The small plants that relatively low such as ferns which intersperse across the workbenches could not only make users feel nature but also practically improve the indoor microclimate and environment in function. These plants make every area full of green. The semitransparent white punched plates surround the space without closing, which blurs the border of space. Therefore, the solidity of the wall is vanished, which changing the stiff impression of space division. Purity, nature, and lightness are topics that the whole space following. By the contrast made by the busy streets of Gusu, the space seems static and becomes a beautiful scenery of the city. The introduction of different sceneries of normal life outside the window makes each corner of the study room different. No matter green or white, it makes each user have an exclusive location to stay.
