Sliced Porosity Block - CapitaLand Raffles City Chengdu is a building complex built in Chengdu, China designed by Steven Holl Architects. It was built from 2008 to 2012. It celebrated its topping out in October 2011 at 123 meters. Sliced Porosity Block consists of 5 mixed-use towers with offices, apartments, retail and a hotel, which surround a large public plaza. The design is shaped to give the surrounding residential neighborhood enough daylight during the day. The angles of the sun prescribe the shape of the towers. The structure is an exoskeletal concrete frame. ==Pavilions== Three large voids are cut into the towers as the sites of the History Pavilion, designed by Steven Holl Architects, the Light Pavilion by Lebbeus Woods, and the Local Art Pavilion. The History Pavilion marks the site of the original Sichuan Provincial Museum in 1941. Set into a void in north elevation it overlooks the plaza of the three valleys and pools.The architectural language of the History Pavilion is planar and in shadows, in contrast to the architecture of the Light Pavilion, which is linear and glowing. The History Pavilion is constructed of weathering steel, with an interior of natural perforated locally harvested bamboo. The Light Pavilion is designed as an experimental space, giving visitors the opportunity to experience a type of space they haven’t experienced before. The structural columns articulating the Pavilion’s interior spaces support stairs and viewing platforms. They are illuminated from within, creating a luminous space. This quality is amplified by the mirrored surfaces enclosing the Pavilion, which visually extend its spaces infinitely. From within the buildings, and from the large public plaza, the glowing structure radiates changing color symbolizing different holidays and times of day, month and year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sliced Porosity Block - CapitaLand Raffles City Chengdu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
