LINE+ Studio has partnered with Roboticplus.AI to design a cutting-edge building that combines advanced industrial design with dynamic mechanical technology. The innovative concept involves elevating the main space for optimal viewing and meetings, featuring both presentation and concealment capabilities. This building comprises a primary area and movable mechanical elements, where vertical displacement enhances connectivity between floors, facilitating smooth circulation transitions.
The standout feature is an observation hall that ascends from the corridor to the rooftop for open display. This hall includes a deployable skin that unfolds, offering a transparent viewing experience. When the hall descends, the skin contracts, creating a private space. The deployable skin is ingeniously divided into nine sections, optimized for overlapping ‘petals’ and opening angles. It comprises four outer and five inner pieces with rounded hexagonal edges, primarily using a transparent ETFE membrane. The observation hall itself rises from a truncated conical base and is encased in double-curved glass.
A sophisticated load-bearing system ensures the structure’s stability and dynamic functionality, integrating a steel framework, glass curtain walls, and MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) components. The primary structure includes a rigid base chassis, top beams, and perimeter flat trusses. Columns integrated with glass curtain wall mullions form a cohesive column system that incorporates essential equipment like firefighting, drainage, and air conditioning, with minimal stress on the pipes.
The roof system is designed to support windows, smoke extraction, firefighting, and ventilation. The building’s dynamic mechanical technology employs a ‘hydraulic scissor brace + flexible column’ system, ensuring stability, comfort, safety, and ease of maintenance. An intelligent linkage system controls the deployable skin’s movement, allowing for various petal opening levels based on programmed settings.
This collaboration between LINE+ Studio and Roboticplus.AI showcases a blend of aesthetic innovation and functional design, pushing the boundaries of modern architecture.
