Module Morphosis

Idea projektu

This proposal is a middle school design in the Kashitu area with the architecture themed "Module Morphosis". The topic derived from the Technic series of LEGO products. Given the complex local conditions and the various limitations imposed on the design, a modular design approach, which is similar to LEGO series, has been adopted to address these challenges. Meanwhile, the proposal also focuses on architectural technology, employing technical solutions to tackle local various issues. On this basis, the building meets diverse spatial requirements through the combination of modular units. This design aims to provide a simple yet effective solution to local problems, while offering students a rich and varied spatial experience through the combination of basic modules.

Popis projektu

The design encompasses all the functions required for the Kashitu School, including classrooms, practical classrooms, laboratories, dining hall, dormitories, and more. This building is designed as a single-story structure, with the site being divided according to an 8.4m grid system. In terms of functional organization, this design establishes a horizontal living circulation and a vertical learning circulation. On one side of the vertical circulation are classrooms, laboratories, and other learning spaces, while on the side of the horizontal circulation are student dormitories, canteens, teacher offices, and other living function rooms. Through this arrangement, the living area is concentrated on one side of the site to avoid interfering with the learning functions. Meanwhile, the learning circulation connects the main entrance and the living area, making the student circulation clear and efficient.

Technické informace

This design mainly adopts two methods to solve the existing problems: double roof system and modular design. The double-layered roof system can meet the local needs for cooling, ventilation, shading, and rain protection with a simple structure. Furthermore, in order to minimize the complexity of the construction process to the greatest extent, the design adopts a modular approach. In this proposal, we use 2 types of units, which are assembled from 12 different types of components, to construct the entire building. The room unit is constructed with ICEB bricks as the primary load-bearing structure, providing the interior space and the lower roof. The roof truss unit is composed of steel beams and columns, which are responsible for supporting the upper roof as well as the outdoor corridors and activity areas. In addition to the structural components, the proposal also carefully considers the choice of construction materials. It selects inexpensive and readily available materials and proposes the use of sustainable brick materials to reduce construction costs.
