Archi-Union references calligraphy in curving tiled roof of Inkstone House cultural centre25/12/2019
Shanghai studio Archi-Union Architects mimics traditional Chinese calligraphy in its latest project, a rural cultural centre in Sichuan province, featuring a sweeping tiled roof that flows into a central courtyard.To get more ink stone, you can visit shine news official website.

Inkstone House OCT Linpan Cultural Center is located in Anren, an ancient town in Dayi County. Archi-Union Architects designed the building to celebrate the heritage and customs of this area of Western Sichuan.The centre's form is based on the inkstone used in traditional Chinese calligraphy, which has a water-holding cavity incorporated into a surface used to grind inksticks.

The building's outline also references traditional Chinese architecture, with a stable base supporting a pedestal roof that is interpreted for the 21st century as a more flexible and dynamic form.

"The roof leans towards the inner courtyard through an elegant curve to connect the boundary of the sky and the earth, and to rethink the elements of the place and their relationship," said Archi-Union Architects founder Philip F Yuan.Dayi County's history is intertwined with the unique Linpan landscape model, which refers to a settlement system based on an ecological farming culture that has existed for millennia.

Linpan comprises smallholdings supported by an ancient irrigation system that created a semi-natural wetland ecosystem shared by people and wildlife. The harmony between nature, human habitation and industry continues to define everyday life on the Western Sichuan Plain.Tucked away within a typically rural setting and reached via a path that winds through the woods, Inkstone House will serve as a demonstration centre for the future redevelopment of the Linpan area.

The local government is collaborating with the Overseas Chinese Town Holdings Company on plans to integrate urban development within the traditional Linpan context.

"The whole architectural design starts from the binary relationship of the land," said Yuan. "While inheriting the prototype of architectural typology, it tries to shape the new feeling of the oriental space."The brick structure is elevated above the ground, to preserve the natural ecology and habitat of local animals, and is topped with a slate roof featuring large overhanging eaves. The roof's inner surface swoops down towards a central courtyard containing a cluster of reflecting ponds.

Inside the cultural centre, a reception, an exhibition area, a conference facility and corresponding auxiliary functions are accommodated on the ground floor.A staircase sweeps upwards along the inside of the brick outer wall to a glazed circulation space that affords views across the landscape, as well as inwards onto the courtyard.The first floor contains a series of multipurpose rooms that can be used for various functions such as tea tasting, music, dining and playing chess.

The main construction materials for the cultural centre are laminated wood, recycled brick and slate. These typical building materials are combined with digital fabrication methods to create distinctly contemporary forms.Archi-Union Architects is known for applying experimental research in its projects, with a particular focus on "parametric construction, robot construction and green industrialisation."
For Inkstone House, digital technologies were used to create the most structurally rational shape through a process involving "geometric form-finding calculation, structural performance simulation, iterative and optimisation processes."

The building's brick facade was largely prefabricated off site to reduce construction time. The 1,000-square-metre brick surface was divided into more than 400 units that were built by robots in a factory before being transported to the site and assembled.
