nendo受邀为位于曼谷、五层高的大型商业综合体 “Siam Discovery”进行了室内外的全面改造设计。狭窄的前方街道阻碍了建筑前侧人流的自由通行,而设计师将内部的数个中庭空间扩大、连通,在建筑内部形成了长达58米、如峡谷般的连续空间,将人流从前端两侧的入口直接引向建筑的后侧,弱化了前侧街道的负面影响。沿中庭一侧,202个内嵌显示屏、数字标识系统和商品陈列台的框架“盒子”组成了一道墙壁,向人们展示着所在楼层贩卖的各式商品。这道贯穿了上下四层的“墙壁”同样起着引导作用,将聚集在一层的客人疏散到各个角落。重新放置的手扶梯在中庭和“墙壁”空隙中穿梭,带来更流畅的流线设计和丰富的空间体验。
在建筑的外立面设计上,在结构容许的范围内,大量的实体墙壁透明的玻璃幕墙取代,模糊的内外空间界限消解了巨大体量带来的压抑感。双层中空玻璃墙面起到了良好的保温隔热效应,让直射阳光带来的炎热气流不至于波及内部空间。而幕墙上大小不一、错落有致的方格图案也正是中庭框架“墙壁”的抽象化。
A complete redevelopment plan, covering both interior and exterior design, for floors one to five of “Siam Discovery” a large-scale retail complex in Bangkok, Thailand. The existing building was deep with a narrow frontage that results in a poor flow of visitors at the front. To deal with this problem the many existing circular atriums dotted through the building were extended and joined up to create an elongated canyon-like space of over 58 m that draws visitors into the back of the building.In addition, a wall consisting of a stack of 202 frame-shaped boxes with video monitors, digital signage and displays of merchandise inside them was installed along one side of the atrium, and this plays the role of a directory for the whole store. The wall also has the effect of drawing visitors to the upper floors since it extends up from the first to the fourth floor. And by repositioning the escalators to run through the atrium and wall, the design also facilitates a smoother flow of visitors.
For the exterior design, it was decided to open up the outside as much as possible and so we cleared away as much from the walls as structural constraints permitted with the aim of eliminating the previous sense of oppressiveness. However, since in Bangkok it is important to alleviate the intense heat of the sun, we created a double-skinned facade decorated with a pattern that reflects the “stacked box” installation in the atrium.
