Integrating along the lakeshore the museum’s design designs defines nodes of activity connected by pedestrian routes and adjacent metro station  through the surrounding parkland into the heart of the building, creating a journey of discovery that weaves between indoor and outdoor plazas at multiple levels to link the museum’s Exhibition galleries, education facilities, cafes and other amenities …  

Both zodiac signs and architecture embody humanity’s romantic creations of space. When thoughts collide with the universe and creative architecture leaves its mark on the time, Aries architecture stands out with its powerful and unconstrained imagination. Join us as we explore the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum, a masterpiece built by CSCEC and designed by Zaha Hadid Architects. The fluid shape of the roof radiates outwards, simulating an expanding nebula centered on a star. With its high level of flexibility, the museum can host a variety of exhibitions, conferences, and events.

Chengdu Science Fiction Museum The floating nebula roof of the Chengdu Science Museum is made of metal. The overall area of ​​the metal roof is 18,000 square meters, and the embedded lighting roof covers an area of ​​about 1,382 square meters, implying the age of the universe. 13.82 billion years, called “the eye of science fiction

The 59,000-sq-m building will aim for three stars, the highest rating of China’s Green Building Programme. Digital modelling will help ZHA create natural ventilation and lighting. Solar panels and a rainwater capture system will add to the building’s sustainability.

Landscaped with plants native to the region, the museum also collects and stores rainwater for natural filtration and reuse, enabling Jingrong Lake to become an integral part of Chengdu’s sustainable drainage system that will mitigate flooding and increase biodiversity throughout the city. 

The city is also the base for a massive 25-sq-km “Science City”, to be constructed along the Luxi River ecological belt, and is also the base for China Railways’ work on ultra-high speed maglev trains (see further reading).

The museum will be built on the shore of Jingrong Lake in Chengdu’s Technology Innovation Business District, begun in 2020 to house science-based industries such as intelligent manufacturing and IT.

Hong Kong Central -中環-  is located in the very center of Already Tomorrow in Hong Kong.. in which is more boarded into the western District of Hong Kong Island..  it is greatly opposite to the Central business area of Tsim Sha Tsui  across the Victoria Harbour- in its previous name of the district was formerly named Victoria City that naming of Central hasn’t been used, or it’s been rarely utilized for name..

Within the Central, it’s one of the many cores cities that within Hong Kong Region..  as existing today is still the main focus area for international First Class for Multi Nationals finances – technologies Corporations- also the many countries consulates also a massive networks of arrays of  Malls every level   to be located within that district… Central’s landscape is like the in Mainland China’s Grand Canyon in the Hubei Province in where organically through time the Hubei’s Canyon landscape carved out by wind ice into towering mountains landscape like in throughout Hong Kong Landscape in which is replaced with the Concrete, metal steel glass towering buildings within a tropical forest that surrounds Hong Kong Also the mountainous areas of New Territories…….

 

The Hong Kong Central landscape is like the China’s Grand Canyon in the Hubei Province……..

in the background is the IFC building with the only building in Hong Kong the Hong Kong Shanghai Bank in which still can be relocated if needed..
when you look at the Hong Kong Centrals landscape you can see the layers of history that’s taken place with intensive construction as each level …..

The HSBC Hong Kong Shanghai Bank is one of the most Iconic innovative buildings that’s design like the with Traditional Chinese building designs… that design is to it allows the building to be relocated like the Forbidden City. or any Traditional Chinese building.. .

Central in Hong Kong, is also was developed by the People of Hong Kong, also from the day from the day of British arrived developing Central on Kowloon Peninsula in which Central could be knowingly extended outwardly towards Sheung Wan, Aberdeen Street –Wing Kut Street with Admiralty.. After 1997 during the handover the People of Hong Kong made the region stronger with long term planning in which Hong Kong Has gone through strength to strength more. As that strength in long term planning translated in the succession of continuous buildings- construction developments that played turn Hong Kong region’s building towering landscape that it’ll always keeping itself already always in tomorrow…

When I look at every individual building, also every single street in Hong Kong,  this case in Central each of its own has its own story to tell, in which its individual design has lot of to say about its functionally how it reacts to the street environment organically, in which that organically component is Feng Shui- wind- water.. Also within that Feng Shui component each building is design according to street layout in which given way of giving them more flow of good energy in some cases like other designs try to absorb that good energy also deflect negative energy… in which the street way orientated to that manner in which that…every street town planning has a it’s Feng Shui elements..

Changes towards the night its view is always constantly changing throughout from the morning towards the later in the night with its neonic towering city landscape, the Symphony of Lights which begins at 2000 Hours Hong Kong Time every night… in which it lights up from Wan Chi towards the Central, in which most of the building neonic with a symphony light show in between Tsim Sha Tsui……

3D PRINTING | one way of planning see your expanding house…?

kevinjamesngLeave a comment

This is one way of pre-planning your next house extension is where “You Tuber Robert Cummings” thinking of an Architectural project of extension,  of extending a or his  house and how it would look like by presenting the first primary house structure with the “3D printed House” with the first floor then the second floor with the landscaped property of where the house is located so the client could see the how it looks likes or makes any minor or major  changes that may come into mind before  beginning on the landscaping on the surround ing property or any given any alterations that comes to mind before the real build comes in to real construction comes in to action… Robert produces onto the property plan where of the extension with the additional wing to the house… where it has been 3D printed also to demonstrate the same of the primary part of the wing also to get the view of that part of the property…also as tool for landscaping and Architects to determinedly the clients what they have in mind.. Instead of constructing traditional model making to where it takes time.. Where “3D printing takes” more an ever changing design role in where just in case if there’s that something that needs to be changed quickly….
