TEMPORARY MOVABLE VARIABLE WATERFRONT HOTEL

TEMPORARY MOVABLE VARIABLE WATERFRONT HOTEL

BRIEF INTRODUCTION Buildings should be containers for travelers rather than occupants. In the context of technological development and industrialized production, architecture must demonstrate the attitude of respecting nature and the capability to inherit the aesthetic appeal of space. To achieve these design concepts, the theories of "mobile building" and "modular building" had been used to put forward a new architectural design scheme , which is planned to be built on a short-term rented waterfront site, with a total land area of 13,372 square meters, total construction area of 3025-5350 square meters, a visitor center construction area of 1,310 square meters, 5 to 50 guest rooms(each floor area is 45 square meters) .Compared with the currently used buildings of holiday hotels, this architectural design scheme has the advantages such as: Environmental friendliness (low environmental impact, re-usability); Flexibility(transportable and movable, stretchable and changeable); Universality(adaptable to various venues); Molecularity(factory production, site assembly, building multiple spaces with 11 mainmodules); Amusement(arrangement of combinations, spatial infectivity). TEMPORARY MOVABLE VARIABLE WATERFRONT HOTEL is located in Tingxia Lake, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China. Client name: Wuxi Environmental Sanitation Services Co. This project is constructed by Shanghai Fly&Float Tech.Co.Ltd. Practice: Hanchenping Studio,CUMT. Completion date: June,2025. KEY CHALLENGES AND SOLUTION Design Philosophy: In nature, environment and space, humans are just temporary visitors rather than eternal masters. Architecture and architects should express the courtesy of the "borrower" rather than the tyranny of the "possessor". Ecological and Environmental Protection: Utilizing the design of "slight contact" between buildings and the natural environment, on-site rapid assembly technology, energy self-sufficiency systems, waste treatment equipment, to maximize environmental protection and reduce impact and damage to the site. Economy: By using short-term rental hotel site ，adjusting the number of rooms according to the number of guests, buildings being able to be used multiple times in different locations, further reducing the cost of hotel operation and management. Architecture：The core of the building is a residential module, and 11 building components decomposed by this residential module. The entire building is composed of the above components .All of them are produced in the factory, and their size and weight are convenient for vehicle transportation. The quick assembly and disassembly design can complete the construction process of the entire building within 20 days, complete the disassembly of the building within 10 days, and reuse the building elsewhere. Service: The design scheme adheres to appropriate and polite intimate contact with the natural environment, while maintaining the original site style to the maximum extent, it also provides a complete leisure function of the waterfront hotel ：sightseeing，living, dining, fishing, boating, etc. Beauty: The design scheme reflects the unique architectural beauty that can be created by fully industrialized production of building components, and the diverse beauty of variation through the combination of some building modules.
