AFTER PARTY . Zhenke Jin
We pursued to create a future office prototype by employing the most fundamental structural system – a triple-height space frame forming a flexible shell for vibrant human scale village-like workplace to emerge. By reinterpreting an archetypical modernist principle of efficiency (Le Corbusier “dom-ino house”) we seek to provide spatial conditions for inclusive creative work community to function.
This system allows to replace most of conventional concrete structural elements with the light-weight renewable wood and reduce the use of concrete -one of the largest CO2 emitters in the world- by 60%. Therefore it not only provides the maximum construction efficiency under minimised cost within the fast pace economic context of China but also advocate for an environmentally cautious building with a minimum carbon footprint from the very beginning of construction.
