The Fifth Season
author(s):QIN Yun, YIM Kay John
Summary
The RDM Campus is a multi-purpose platform for event ranging from education to business, from research to industrial. Given the opportunity to build a 6000-meter-square coverage architecture at the harbor at northern campus, we decide to complete the campus ecosystem by adding an entertainment center.
Our scheme consists of mainly two buildings – an exhibition center and an entertainment auditorium. The two buildings will provide students and staff space to enjoy sports or multimedia events while away from work. The entertainment center will be located at the middle of the dock but with easy access from shore connected by existing dock.
The buildings will be partially self-sustaining with installation of solar panels, so energy can be stored for lighting up interior space at night. Large surface areas of glass will allow natural lighting throughout the day, but at the same time avoiding overheating with intelligent shading fins blocking out unnecessary light. Buildings will be orientated to dissipate wind force and to fit outdoor auditorium purpose.
We named our scheme "The Fifth Season" - an entertainment center where people from the RDM campus will find it enjoyable and relaxing, far away from normal working seasons. We are currently working on site studies and building forms to achieve a sustainable and realistic scheme. Further details of our scheme will be confirmed after site visit.
