这个短暂的项目位于快速发展的拉杰科特市,是一家房地产公司及其名为 “商业中心 “的新商业开发项目的临时销售亭。该馆必须在有限的时间内快速组装,直到拟议的开发项目完全建成。

Located in the rapidly growing city of Rajkot, this ephemeral project serves as a temporary sales pavilion for a real estate company and its new commercial development called ‘Business Centrum’. The pavilion had to be quickly assembled for a limited period of time, till the proposed development gets completely built.

该项目由基本功能组成,包括会议室、工地工程师办公室、接待区、茶水间和休息室。该地块是一个朝北的转角地块,其长边与一条繁华的18米宽的道路对齐。场地东侧有一栋现有的住宅楼,计划拆除,所以该结构周围的边缘是禁止的。在正面边缘的剩余部分,有两棵完全成熟的树木,彼此之间相距12米。据观察,这两棵树的叶子在它们之间形成了一个空隙。

The program comprised basic functions which included a meeting room, site engineer’s office, reception area, a pantry and a restroom. The site is a north facing corner plot having its longer edge aligned with a bustling 18 metre wide road. There was an existing residential building on the eastern side of the site which was scheduled for demolition, so the edge around that structure was off limits. In the remaining part of the front edge, there were two fully grown trees spaced 12 metres apart from each other. It was observed that the foliage of these two trees was creating a void in between them.

这个空隙形成了一个向上隆起的形状,于是立即做出反应,引入一个模仿它的体积。然后,通过引入一个通向接待区的入口,将这个体量分为两个相等的部分。会议室占据了一部分,而工程师办公室和服务区则占据了这个分割的另一部分。为了进一步使入口正式化,在两侧增加了两个倒角柱。

This void was forming an upward bulging shape and the immediate reaction was to introduce a volume mimicking it. This volume was then divided into two equal parts by the introduction of an entry point that opens to the reception area. The meeting room occupies one part while the engineer’s office and service areas occupy the other part of this division. In order to further formalize the entrance, two chamfered columns were added on either side.

该方案的私人性质要求内部空间在视觉上与繁忙的道路阻隔开来;因此,正面必须是完全的实体。后面是由大的开口组成的,这样就可以定期监测施工工作。这是一个有意识的决定,在视觉上将大的正面体量分解成较小的片段,而郁郁葱葱的美丽树木又成为了灵感的来源。

The private nature of the program required the internal spaces to be visually blocked from the busy road; therefore the front side had to be completely solid. The back side is made up of large openings so that the construction work can be regularly monitored. It was a conscious decision to visually break down the large front side volumes into smaller fragments and the lush beautiful trees served as inspiration again.

它们的枝叶交织的网络产生了在立面上建立一个鳍状物网络的想法,其深度随着它们从地面上升而增加。这种安排创造了动态的视野,因为当人们在展馆的长度上移动时,对展馆的感知会不断变化。

Their interwoven network of branches and leaves generated the idea of having a network of fins on the façade, whose depths increase as they rise from the ground. This arrangement creates dynamic views as the perception of the pavilion keeps changing when one moves across the length of the pavilion.

在一天中,随着太阳的移动,也会产生变化的阴影模式。树木也在立面上投下了一系列斑驳的光线图案,增加了一种近乎神奇的元素。从Eduardo Souto de Moura的Casa das Historias Paula Rego的作品中得到启发,这里的鳍状物几乎是赤土色的,与亭子周围郁郁葱葱的树木形成对比。在没有任何具体背景的情况下,现场的两个最直接的自然特征在每一步都被用作灵感,以增加项目的价值。

Changing shadow patterns are also created throughout the day with the movement of the sun. The trees too cast a series of dappled light patterns over the façade, adding an almost magical-like element. Taking cue from Eduardo Souto de Moura’s Casa das Historias Paula Rego, the fins here are of an almost terracotta like colour which acts as a contrast to the lush green of the trees framing the pavilion. In the absence of any specific context, the two most immediate natural features at the site have been used as inspiration at every step to add value to the project.
