Public building "Unit of time"

Project idea

The concept: a landmark in time or a unit of time.
Every unit of time, the arrow travels a path around the circle. A sundial has a shadow instead of an arrow, and the time can be calculated based on the surrounding parameters. The built-up associative series can be traced in the compositional solution of the object: the arrow is dominant and interacts with the rectangular frame of the building.

Project description

The building consists of two levels, each of which has a different device and performs certain functions: the first is a work area with an area for unloading exhibits and further work with them, and hall No. 1 is located there (natural lighting prevails in it, while the work is protected from the influence of sunlight, as well as overheating); the second is an exhibition hall with two halls, a cafe and a recreation area (with mostly natural lighting).

Technical information

The roof structure of the building is made of reinforced concrete, the exterior walls are also made of this material and are load-bearing. In the main hall of the first floor, columns with rolled profiles of I-beams in the roof structure are used to cover large spans.
