〔안정원의 건축 칼럼〕 도시의 리본을 개념화한 컨벤션시설과 조합된 유기적인 복합건축 1

● 멋진 세상 속 건축디자인_ 주하이 ‘Shizimen CBD(Central Business District)’, 도시의 리본이란 개념으로 컨벤션시설과 호텔, 아파트, 오피스와 리테일 등을 포함한 도시의 유기적인 복합건축을 시도해

중국 광둥성 연해에 위치한 주하이시는 지정학적으로 홍콩과 마카우 사이를 연결하며 대자연의 아름다움을 간직한 곳이다.
이곳은 풍부한 자연 환경과 독특하게 조각된 바위의 형태로 유명한 해변으로 인해 중국의 정원도시라고 불린다.

320m의 마카우타워와 반대편에 헝칭(Hengqin Island)과 더불어 미래의 초고층 빌딩이 들어서 마치 신호등과 같은 역할을 담당한다.

이러한 지역에 들어선 Shizimen중심업무지구는 컨벤션시설과 호텔, 아파트, 오피스와 리테일 등으로 구성되어 있으며 10 design에서 설계를 맡았다. 10 design은 설계를 진행하면서 유연성과 다양성, 공공의 기능과 도시의 기능의 결합이란 측면을 염두에 두었다.

우선 95,800sqm 규모의 컨벤션과 전시회장을 계획하면서 합리적이면서도 유연성 있는 개념을 반영하였다. 제법 큰 규모의 컨벤션과 2,000명까지 수용이 가능한 전시장, 4,000명까지 수용이 가능한 연회장은 물론 음악 공연장과 영화관을 두었다.

또한, 다양한 방식으로 활용될 수 있는 복합용도의 개발과 길과 수변 플라자와 연계된 도시민들의 공공 편의시설을 주된 기능과 조합되어 유기적인 도시 흐름을 엮어간다. >>Gordon Affleck Chief Design Architect of 10 DESIGN, 자료 10 DESIGN, Photography by Kerun Ip, 기사 출처_ AN News(ANN News Center) 제공
