Contemporary architects' exploration of primary materials of architectural skin?

What is the specific content of contemporary architects exploring the original materials of architectural skin? Zhong Da Consulting will answer your questions below.

With the development of modern science and technology, the technical means are more advanced, the materials are more diverse, and the material entities of buildings become complicated, and the skin is no exception. With the increasing shortage of energy and the aggravation of environmental pollution, the function of epidermis is more complex and harsh, and it changes with the needs of regions and users. In view of the development of technology, architects have conducted in-depth research on the architectural skin itself, combining ever-changing functional requirements with modern science and technology, and expressing more complex factors while pursuing cultural connotations. Building skin is a material system that carries the outer protective interface of the building. From the perspective of space, it is the basic material condition for the formation of space, and it undertakes the basic function of filtering external influences and creating a comfortable living place for human beings. Changes in the material and structure of the epidermis will also have subtle and rich effects on the space. It is a phenomenon that contemporary architects explore the new language of original materials and consider factors such as region, ecology and context. 1 ecological exploration of skin materials in architectural design, considering climate and regional factors has long been a guiding principle. CharlesCorrea, an Indian architect, put forward a design method of form following climate to adapt to the dry-hot or humid climate in mainland India. Malaysian architect Yang Jingwen believes that traditional architecture does not regard architecture as an organic part of the life cycle system, nor does it study the development of architectural science from an ecological perspective. Ecological architecture requires architects and designers to have sufficient knowledge of ecology and environmental biology, and research and design should be combined with ecology. The roof design of the 2000 Hanover World Expo is a perfect combination of local materials and modern technology ecology. Professor ThomasHerzog, a German architect, said: The design and determination of any specific system are completed with various types of engineers. The whole process took a long time and went through the following stages repeatedly: model design stage, calculation stage, simulation stage, wind tunnel test stage, load test stage and design research stage. In terms of design concept, the form of large roof and the use of wood were determined by Professor Herzog in the stages of architectural design conception and conceptual design. In every design stage of deepening design, professionals from related disciplines are involved. This huge wooden structure combines modern manufacturing technology and traditional technology, and is covered with a translucent film (ETFE) to resist the influence of climate. With its quiet colors and rich forms, it has become a model of modern wood structure design. The roof of the World Expo shows the application of local materials in important projects. Woven wood frame is an effective combination of hyperbolic wood grid and beautiful steel joints. Lightweight wood and solid wood structures reflect the balance of structure and beauty. It is a very difficult task to understand the geometric characteristics of space, determine the form of three-dimensional joints by cutting roof panels, and install diaphragms on complex hyperbolic roof structures through detailed design. Japanese architect Sakaguchi's Japan Pavilion not only embodies the theme of "man-nature-science and technology", but also reproduces Japan's cultural tradition and innovative spirit. Based on the Japanese traditional concept of harmony between man and nature and their preference for materials such as paper and wood, the exhibition hall absorbed the business governance of traditional Japanese houses, that is, the architects of wood-paper doors and windows. The arch tube structure is made of recycled paper, which is composed of paper tubes with a diameter of 12.5cm. The curved roof and walls are also made of fabric and paper film. After the five-month World Expo, most of the materials in this temporary building can be recycled, so it is a symbol of construction, demolition and regeneration. Tjibaou Cultural Center in New Caledonia (Oceania) designed by Italian architect RenzoPiano is similar to a wooden house in the mountains, with curved wood structure, which fully embodies the characteristics of wood structure. The building is made up of wood truss and wooden ribs, and the design elements are based on the shapes of local huts and local aquatic thatched fabrics. In addition to the novel shape, the wood structure also meets the requirements of lighting and passive ventilation. Dominus Winery in California, USA (Figure 4) is designed by the works of Swiss architect Herzog & De Mellon. According to the requirements of wine storage, it tries to adapt to and make use of the climate characteristics here. If the local basalt is used as the skin material, it can block and absorb the solar heat during the day and release it at night, which can balance the temperature difference between day and night; The natural stones that can be collected nearby are put into a cage woven with wire to form a block with large size and regular shape, and the building skin is formed. This basalt wall with different colors, such as green and black, blends perfectly with the surrounding scenery. According to the different internal functions, woven metal cages have different sizes and specifications, and the gaps between stones vary according to the needs of different positions, forming a changing light and shadow indoors. Architects set out from the beginning of architecture, seeking nature and surpassing nature. The regional expression of architectural skin is the medium for the transformation of internal and external space of buildings, which accumulates the history and culture of various periods and is the rich heritage of human civilization. Region is the premise of the existence of architecture and the fundamental starting point of respecting tradition. The understanding of region has two meanings: first, the substantive elements of specific environment, including climate, geography and other characteristics; The second is the immaterial elements in the specific environment, including historical and cultural traditions, customs and habits, etc. It is a common way for architects to use local original materials to interpret regional culture. Herzog & In the design of Dominus Winery, De Mellon fully interprets nature through the perfect use of materials. This focus on materials reflects their constant respect for every vine that winds around the earth: the website is obviously regarded as the original material here. It is the surrounding landscape, that is, the geometry of vines growing on the local gentle slope, that establishes the dialogue between them. PeterZumthor has an emotional attitude towards materials. He believes that although the material itself is not poetic, as long as the architect creates a meaningful situation for it, the material can show poetry in the building. In the renovation project of Vals Hot Springs, Zumto explores the inherent characteristics of materials, carefully considers the tactile, odor and acoustic qualities of materials, and endows materials with specific meanings in combination with specific places and buildings. Zumto redeveloped the slicing technology of Wals stone. He sliced the local stones. Every stone has been drawn and measured. Every stone appears where it belongs. The whole bath is made of local gray quartzite and concrete in Vals. The interior of the bath is like a primitive cave. If you go deep into it, you will be shocked by all the stones. VidhanBhavan designed by CharlesCorrea expresses India's historical and cultural traditions in modern architectural language. Red sandstone is widely used, just like the famous historical sites nearby. It expresses respect for ancient civilization with color and texture, and maintains the inheritance and unity of the region in the context. Parliament building attracts the world's attention with its rich and colorful Indian culture. 3 The new language of skin materials German architect Gottfried Sapar divides the building into load-bearing structure and envelope structure, that is, support and interface. Modern technology liberates the building skin from the load-bearing structure. Postmodernism, high-tech school and deconstruction have appeared in the field of architecture one after another, giving new content to the architectural skin, making it get rid of monotony and present a colorful face. Architects return to the building itself through new exploration of original materials. Zhang Yonghe, a young architect, tried to introduce bamboo, the most common local plant, into his utopian bamboo city plan. Bamboo plants have fast growth, strong regeneration ability, short production cycle, flat texture, elegant color, tough material and rich resources, and are a sustainable material resource. He used bamboo as the basic material for the re-planning and renewal of Ji 'an, a medium-sized city in the south. Here, bamboo is not only the skin of a single building, but also the texture of the whole city. Bamboo is not only an ecological material, but also a new technology connecting contemporary architectural technology and natural development process. The combination of the ever-growing bamboo and the bold use of contemporary design has created a sustainable urban infrastructure and self-sufficient system of buildings, which can be recycled forever and self-renewed. Zhang Yonghe's concept exploration-Bamboo City is in the commune bamboo building project at the foot of the Great Wall by architect Kengo Kuma. He thinks that bamboo has a unique cultivation in China and Japanese culture, and puts the sculpture of bamboo in the original stone of Shuiguan. According to the terrain, he used bamboo with different pitches and thicknesses as the main material to separate the inside and outside of the building. According to the density and diameter of bamboo, provide a variety of space separation, like the Great Wall, place a layer of bamboo along the slope of the base.
