The   project   is   about   a   Chinese   culture   pavilion   built   in Dubai.    It    tries    to    establish    a    dialogue    between    Chinese    and Islamic    Culture.    The    main    concepts    about    the    project    are outlined below:   Grid and Grid City The   nine   square   grid   was   originated   as   a   measurement   for Chinese   calligraphy.   While   each   Chinese   character   has   a   basic construct,   it   can   transfer   into   numerous   deviations   based   on various   texts   and   calligraphers.   The   nine   square   grid   spreads from   calligraphy   to   other   intellectual   fields   in   Chinese   culture.   It is   also   the   basic   matrix   for   architecture   and   city   planning   in China.   From   domestic   house   to   royal   palace   and   ancient   city,   the nine square grid is the spatial logic of Chinese culture. Scroll Painting of Chinese Landscape Different   from   the   precision   in   Hellenistic   and   Islamic   Art, Chinese   Landscape   painting   focuses   on   the   poetic   precision   of chances   and   chaos.   Multiple   focal   points   of   various   space   and time   are   the   key   to   Chinese   Landscape   painting.   The   illusionary space   depicted   by   voids   between   focal   points   defines   infinity   as spatial immensity in broadness, deepness and highness.  Vertical Landscape The    vertical    scroll    of    landscape    painting    deals    with    the spatial     immensity     in     deepness     and     highness.     Layering, permeation   and   overlay   are   ways   to   achieve   the   phenomenon transparency    in    vertical    landscape.    The    transparency    and richness   in   space   is   reinterpreted   by   the   architecture   with   a pixelated double skin facade.   Parametric   design:   the   facade   is   composed   by   six   shutter units   with   different   degrees   of   openness.   The   units   are   arranged carefully   to   achieve   the   effect   of   layering   of   mountains   in   vertical landscape.    The    shutters    work    closely    with    local    climate    and lighting condition to make the building sustainable.  Substructure of Landscape The   substructure   of   landscape   is   reinterpreted   by   geometry and   expressed   through   a   membrane   structure   system   in   the architecture.   As   the   membrane   surface   is   twisted   and   deformed, different   spaces   is   created   for   different   pragmatic   needs   in   the program.   Illusionary Space in Chinese Garden The   aesthetic   principal   of   shifting   focal   points   developed   in Chinese    landscape    painting    is    spatialized    by    Chinese    garden. Most   gardens   are   built   based   on   Chinese   poetry.   The   illutionary space   constructed   by   shifting   focal   points   are   further   enhanced by nature phenomenon and activities in the garden.  Dubai Tectonic: Desert and Sea The   sea   and   the   desert   are   the   most   distinct   geographical features   in   Dubai.   As   the   sand   dune   of   desert   resembles   the geometry   of   Arabian   tent,   the   solid   and   void   in   the   tectonic   of sand   dune   landscape   also   finds   similarities   in   the   mountain   and water    of    Chinese    landscape.    The    formal    expression    of    the building   is   developed   through   a   series   of   transformations   of   the sea horizon and the sand dune landscape.  Islamic Purity: Moon and Water Cleanness   and   purity   are   sacred   in   Islamic   culture.   Water and   moon   are   import   culture   symbols   of   purity,   as   they   are depicted   repeatedly   in   Islamic   art,   literature   and   architecture. Purity   is   also   important   to   Chinese   culture.   The   ethereal   purity   is the highest aesthetic achievement in Chinese art.       Muqarnas Muqarnas   dome   or   half   dome   are   major   motifs   in   Islamic architecture.    While    Quran    emphases    on    accumulation,    the splendor    muqarnas    dome    is    assembled    by    millions    of    small geometric    parts,    and    the    geometric    parts    are    constructed through   the   negative   carving   out   of   primary   geometries   from   the west.   A   modern   muqarnas   is   created   by   transferring   the   principal in modern construction techniques. The Arabian Tent The   Arabian   tent   is   developed   through   unique   geography and    life    style    of    the    area.    The    typology    of    Arabian    tent    is transformed   into   a   sustainable   Chinese   garden   on   the   roof   top   as a exclusive gathering space.
