conventional center

Project idea

A large-scale, climate-responsive convention and innovation center that merges technology, culture, and ecology under one continuous architectural system. The flowing roof forms symbolize movement, connectivity, and adaptability — essential themes for the future of collaboration spaces.

Project description

Architectural Description:

1. Roof Design:
• The design features multiple curved and undulating roof forms, possibly made to resemble a wave or aerodynamic flow.
• The dominant roof on the right is large, flowing, and textured—could be designed to represent dynamic movement or airflow, often seen in modern biomorphic or parametric architecture.
• The repetitive ribbing suggests it could be made from metal, ETFE cushions, or a perforated cladding system for ventilation or light filtering.

2. Building Layout:
• The structure is segmented into several blocks, each with varying roof forms. This suggests zoning for different functions—like auditoriums, exhibition halls, or offices.
• The layout is linear and modular, making it easy to expand.

3. Function Possibilities:
• Based on scale and form, the building may serve as a:
• Convention or Expo Center
• Airport Terminal or Transport Hub
• Cultural or Performing Arts Complex
• Industrial or Research Facility with public interaction zones

4. Material and Climate Considerations:
• The white/light tone of the roof suggests heat-reflective material, suitable for hot climates.
• The shading and ribbing indicate passive cooling strategies, likely intended to reduce heat gain and improve airflow.

Technical information

Structural Technology:

➤ Long-Span Roof Systems:
• Likely uses steel space frames, tensile structures, or ribbed shell roofs to support wide open interiors without internal columns.
• Curved forms may be achieved using cold-bent steel sections or precast concrete shells.

➤ Lightweight Roofing Materials:
• Could use ETFE (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene) cushions, PTFE-coated fiberglass, or polycarbonate sheets for lightweight, translucent roofing.
• May include composite materials to reduce structural load and improve durability.

? 2. Environmental & Climate Technologies:

➤ Passive Cooling & Ventilation:
• The perforated or ribbed facade/roof designs likely allow for natural ventilation and stack effect airflow.
• Orientation and roof curvature are possibly optimized for solar shading and heat minimization.

➤ Green Building Integration:
• Use of green buffer zones, possibly rain gardens or bio-swales along the edges.
• Potential for solar panels on larger flat or curved surfaces.

? 3. Lighting & Energy Systems:

➤ Daylighting Strategies:
• The translucent roof sections likely admit filtered natural light to reduce artificial lighting demand during the day.
• May include light shelves or diffusion panels to spread daylight evenly.

➤ Smart Lighting & Energy Control:
• LED-based smart lighting systems with motion sensors and energy-efficient HVAC.
• Building Management System (BMS) to control lighting, air conditioning, and ventilation dynamically.
