The Fifth Season
author(s):QIN Yun, YIM Kay John
Summary
The scheme is named "The Fifth Season" - an entertainment center aiming to complete the RDM campus ecosystem, where local people and visitors will find it enjoyable and relaxing, far away from normal working seasons. As a combination of a maritime museum and an auditorium. The museum of the Fifth Season houses a permanent collection of RDM-site as a former shipyard, while the auditorium hosts various events ranging from concerts to orchestras.
Both the interior and exterior spaces are designed to be a mix of contemporary and convention, so satisfying both first time and frequent visitors. For instance, the auditorium ceiling is arrayed with PV-cells and rotatable LCD panels, so it can immediately transform into a huge LCD screen facing either outwards or inwards, self-powered by solar radiation collected during the day.
The Fifth Season is fully embedded into the RDM network: from the sustainable park to land of RDM-campus straight though a public passage inside the building, and from Lusthof to SEPAC through dedicated bridges and public landscapes. The Fifth Season, together with SEPAC and a fully accessible network, completes the active and passive entertainment circle, right in the water center of RDM campus.
