If the greenhouse is understood as the orderly regulation of light, temperature, humidity, wind and plant growing areas, the garden center relying on greenhouse sales can be imagined as a place to capture light, shadow and natural order.
Garden Center. As a highly professional garden center, it often takes the greenhouse as the main body, and the planning can be regarded as the owner here. The environment is more compassionate than the general market, which is like a shelter for plants. According to the distribution of plants, the garden center is divided into shopping experience area, plant area and material area. As a place of consumption, consumers' participation and experience need more attention. Therefore, how to deal with the coexistence of people and plants, how to adjust the relationship between buildings and greenhouses, has become a problem that needs to be improved in the design.
Functional area
Start with greenhouse: continuous roof truss and standard height are the characteristics of greenhouse. The specific properties of greenhouse basically determine the building form of greenhouse. The demand of plants for light and air also limits the facade materials of greenhouse buildings. As a plant growing glass greenhouse, it is difficult to rebuild the space form. Therefore, it can be seen as a developing area that can regulate nature. Sunshine, wind, temperature and humidity are regulated in an orderly way, so that the planning can develop smoothly here.
Greenhouse overlay: unlike the cash register in supermarkets or other stores, the trading area in the center of the garden is also a place for customers to rest and experience. As the nearest shop to the greenhouse, it is also a transfer station for plants and a place for people to exchange. The cashier space absorbs the commonness of gardening and life, and organizes the structure, facade and space of the building naturally, so that the area where people live has a natural atmosphere.
The superposition and interweaving make the building form a new order, and the structural array of greenhouse is constantly evolving. The sequence of cast-in-place concrete with natural form creates a more growing space. With the distribution of functional areas, the overall rhythm of the building has also formed a coherent form.
Natural order. Corresponding to the double slope roof of the greenhouse, the designer hopes to establish a cast-in-place frame order. Similar to the greenhouse, it can block the wind and rain of flowers and plants. At the same time, the sheltered feeling of canopy space not only satisfies the natural order, but also satisfies the atmosphere of space. The continuous distribution of trunk and branch is formed by taking tree shaped concrete structure as module unit. The intricate winding makes the roof undulating, such as walking under the forest, creating a free and comfortable space atmosphere.
The rhythm of light and shadow. The organization of the facade extracts elements from the trees. It creates a natural random array. The grid system not only avoids the direct sunlight, but also brings the Enlightenment of the combination of crown and shade. From the trunk to the crown, the filtering of light and shadow is from sparse to dense, just like the flickering light and shadow of trees. The grid has three cell modules from bottom to top. The first floor is the widest. Combined with glass curtain wall, it can maximize the external landscape and sunshine in the sight of consumers. The grid of the second layer is narrower to form a relatively regular facade organization. The grid density of the third layer is the highest, corresponding to the folded roof, with rich tortuosity, forming a natural continuous shadow image, filtering the direct sunlight to the maximum extent. Through the change of three rhythms of facade grid, it not only creates an interesting facade light and shadow order, but also provides a deep forest imagination for consumers.
As a flagship store, the garden center is not only the greenhouse market, but also the main exhibition hall of the world garden annual meeting. It has become a garden center integrating sales, exhibition and experience
