Proud to kick off this year with a competition-win of an invited competition to design a pavilion for Chinese leading-developer Vanke for the 2019 Horticultural Expo in Beijing.
Vanke Pavilion for Beijing’s 2019 International Horticultural Expo
The design is a assembly of modular building-blocks, that contain five main functions of the pavilion. Each block connects at the corners to its neighbors and offers a continuous space inside and one linked “urban gardening” area on the roof.
The site of the horticultural expo is between the density of Beijing and the undulating river valleys in the North of the city. The area is rapidly growing in popularity as a recreational area for Beijing citizens. In this surrounding, the Horticultural Expo sets up to promote a healthy and ecological co-existence with our natural environment.
The “Thousand Yards” pavilion is located on the western area of the Horticultural Expo site
After entering the pavilion on the eastern border of the site, a path is guiding the visitors to a plaza in the center. This central plaza is a major pivotal point and meeting spot for visitors. From the plaza, people are taken further to the main functions of the pavilion. A food-court with a restaurant, a bar and several tea-houses and a Multipurpose hall on the northern border, a large indoor greenhouse for untypical plants on the western side and a center of education and exhibition on the southern edge. All functions feature a connected space on their lower 2 floors and outside gardening units on the roof.
