Qingdao Citizen Center
青岛市民中心
当建筑不再只是建筑本身，而与城市功能搭脉相连，都市生活也就谱写出了更多的多样性。青岛市民中心是清石设计与北京中景昊天工程设计有限公司对于建筑改造与城市更新的又一个实践项目，同时也是室内与建筑的新陈代谢设计理论又一次输出和实践。起点——如何将废旧商场改造为市民中心？青岛市民中心由一栋空置近十年的商业建筑改造。原商场由一栋11层塔楼和4层裙楼组成，建筑之前的功能是商场，层高较低同时空间进深小，整体比较狭长，跟市民中心需要的大尺度公共空间，在空间尺度与使用上差别较大，加上项目周期短预算紧，如何才能将市民中心的功能有效融入原有的商业空间？以及梳理出流畅的空间功能流线和舒适的空间体验？改造后的青岛市民中心集中了二十多家市级委办局将在此集中办公，为全市居民、企业提供包括民生、社保、税务、公安、出入境、公共资源交易、投资建设、市场准入、社会综合管理等提供一站式服务。空间改造功能需求的复杂性可想而知，如何对待平衡旧建筑与新需求的关系，为市民提供真正的便利，成为设计思考的起点。清石设计给出了诗意且富有哲理的回答：诗意：光的对面是彩虹。将自然光引入室内空间，同时彩虹渐变作为基础配色元素植入室内空间中。哲理：奥卡姆剃刀定律（Occam's Razor, Ockham's Razor）又称“奥康的剃刀”，这个原理称为“如无必要，勿增实体”，即“简单有效原理”。改造策略——办事大厅小型化我们提出市民服务大厅的改造策略是：大厅小型化，在保持原有空间结构的基础上，通过灯光、导视系统和空间色彩将不同的办事单元串联在一起。同时办事大厅小型化让空间尺度更加亲人，为市民们在办事大厅等候或者办理业务营造一种在家的亲切感。办事大厅的“客厅化”设计风格创造舒适、宁静的室内空间氛围，满足市民在等待过程中的心理需求。等候区家具挑选的原则是能够让人们在这里呆更长时间，因此我们为市民提供多样性的选择，但是只有一个舒适的目标。改造策略——以空间色彩组织流线我们不仅仅是将一个大结构体分解成一系列组合体的整合，更重要的是创造多种级别的空间和不同环境的相互渗透。这种相互交织的空间组织，满足更多向的互动交流的同时，也使空间利用更有效便捷，为更多种形式的活动提供灵活的环境支持。市民服务大厅的功能组织与各种活动息息相关，所以简洁、清晰的流线组织以及明显的等待区域设计都至关重要。我们希望通过室内色彩设计为使用者提供清晰明确的室内引导。因此我们将彩虹渐变作为基础配色元素植入室内空间中。不同楼层的标识、窗口指示牌以及家具都遵循统一种色彩渐变原则，这样的空间色彩搭配从潜意识中引导市民快速准确的定位自己所在的位置，引导他们到达最终的目的地。在动线规划方面，因原始建筑属性为商业空间，交通疏散设置较多，针对新的功能需求，我们通过梳理专家流线、行政审批内部流线、投标人流线、综合大厅办事人员流线以及综合大厅等五条重要流线，将裙楼东侧的部分电梯及楼梯在满足消防规范前提下做了适当的拆除，以提高空间的利用率。同时增加专用电梯，同时将主扶梯在竖向空间维度延长至顶层，充分满足了竖向的交通连续性需求。改造策略——引“光”入室项目本身作为大型公共服务空间，职能空间本身已经被赋予了“阳光”“开放” 的公众印象和标签。因此充分的自然采光似乎是市民中心必备的精神气质，为了契合公众对市民中心的潜在期待，我们在原商场建筑的三个中庭上设置了大面积的天窗，让阳光能够通过中庭洒向室内。通过重新规划墙体分隔和竖向交通让室内空间获得更充分的自然采光，配合人工光带的分布，让空间符合市民对大型公共服务空间的期待。改造策略——细节体现品质改造设计过程中，设计师充分考虑工作人员办公环境的优化。合理的采光设置，工作休息区的结合，人性化的办公家具选择，空间绿色的植入，这些都让长时间在这个空间中的工作人员有舒适的办公环境，优质的环境与优质的服务相辅相成。在材料语言的解读上，我们使用颜色编织地毯、定制编织地毯、超白钢化背漆玻璃、白色烤瓷铝板、木纹转印铝板、仿地毯地砖、木纹铝吸音板等经济牢固的材料，渗透在观者的感官里，以诉说着城市的沧桑岁月和文化内涵。每个人对青岛这座座城市，都有深深的理解，环境亦如斯，建筑亦如斯，室内空间亦如斯。后疫情时代人类将要面临的诸多课题，这是后疫情时代带来的深邃思考，是人类文明走向“重生”的过程，实现以眼观，以心去觉察，去感叹经过重新设计规划的市民中心，恢复了往日的活力，相信好的设计能够不断自我更新，为城市赋能。空间以它的方式和力量为都市人注入能量，在轻微却不间断的新陈代谢中，塑造新生。When architecture is no longer just a building itself, but is connected to the city's functions, urban life, this also composes more diversity. Qingdao Citizen Center is another practical project design of Qingshi Design and Beijing Zhongjing Haotian Engineering Design Co., Ltd. for architectural renovation and urban renewal. It’s also another practical output of interior and architectural metabolism design theory.How to transform an old shopping mall into a Citizen Center?Qingdao Citizen Center was transformed from a commercial building that had been vacant for nearly ten years. The original shopping mall consisted in 11-floor tower and a 4-floor podium, the previous function of the building was a shopping mall, the floor height is not high and the space depth is small, overall is relatively narrow and long, the large-scale public space needed by the citizen center is quite different in terms of spatial scale and use, coupled with the short project cycle and tighten budget - how can the functions of the citizen center be effectively integrated into the original commercial space? And how sort out the smooth spatial function streamline and comfortable spatial experience?More than 20 Municipal Committees and Bureaus will be concentrated in the reconstruction of Qingdao Citizen Center, providing people’s livelihood for residents of the city, social security, taxation, public security, immigration, public resource transactions, investment construction, marketing access, providing one-stop service for comprehensive social management and much more. The complexity of the functional requirements of space reconstruction can be imagined, so how to balance the relationship between the old buildings and the new requirements, providing real convenience to the citizens, became the starting point of the design idea.Qingshi Design gave a poetic and philosophical answer:-Poetry: Opposite the light is the rainbow. Natural light is introduced into the indoor space, and the rainbow gradient is used as a basic colour element to be implanted in the indoor space.-Philosophy: Occam's Razor Law is also known as “O'Connell's Razor", this principle is called "if not necessary, do not add entities", that is, "simple and effective principle".Strategy: Miniaturization of the office hallWe propose that the transformation strategy of the Citizen Service Hall is: The hall is miniaturized, and on the basis of maintaining the original spatial structure, different service units are connected in series through lighting, guidance systems and spatial colours. At the same time, the miniaturization of the office hall makes the scale of the space more relative, creating a sense of intimacy at home for citizens waiting in the office hall or handling business.The "living room" design style of the office hall creates a comfortable and quiet indoor space atmosphere and meets the psychological needs of the citizens in the waiting process. The principle of the selection of the furniture in the waiting area is to allow people to stay there longer, so we provide citizens with a variety of choices, but there is only one comfortable purpose.Strategy: Organizing streamlines with spatial coloursIt is not only decomposing a large structure into a series of integrations, but more importantly, creating multiple levels of space and mutual penetration of different environments. This mutually mingled space organization meets more directional interactions and, at the same time, makes space utilization more efficient and convenient, and provides flexible environmental support for more types of activities.The functional organization of the citizen service hall is closely related to many activities, so concise and clear streamline organization and obvious waiting area design are essential. We hope to provide users with clear and easy-going indoor guidance through indoor colour design. Therefore, we use the rainbow gradient as the basic colour element to implant the indoor space. The signs, window and furniture on different floors all follow the same colour gradation principle. Such spatial colour matching subconsciously guides citizens to a quickly and accurate perception of their current location and guide them to their final destination.In terms of traffic planning, since the original building is a commercial space, there are many traffic evacuation facilities. In response to new functional requirements, we sorted out the streamlines such as expert streamlines, internal streamline of administrative, bidder streamline, five important circulation streamlines, including the staff streamline of the comprehensive lobby, some elevators and stairs on the east side of the podium were properly demolished under the premise of meeting the fire protection regulations, also, in order to improve the utilization of space, at the same time special elevators are added, and the main escalator is extended to the top floor in the vertical space dimension, which fully meets the demand for vertical traffic flow continuity.Strategy: Bring "light" into the roomThe project itself is a large-scale public service space, and the functional space itself has been given the public impression and label of "sunshine" and "open". Therefore, sufficient natural lighting seems to be a necessary spiritual temperament for the Citizen Center. In order to meet the public's potential expectations for it, we set up large skylights in the three atriums of the original shopping mall building to allow the sunlight to spill into the interior through the atrium. By re-planning the wall partition and vertical traffic, the indoor space can get more natural lighting, and with the distribution of artificial lights, the space can meet the expectations of the public for large-scale public service spaces.Strategy:Details reflect qualityIn the process of renewal of the design, the designer team fully considers the optimization of the staff’s office environment. Reasonable lighting settings, the combination of work areas with rest areas, the selection of user-friendly office furniture, and the green implantation in the space, all enable the staff, who have been in this space for a long time, to have a comfortable office environment. The high-quality environment and the high-quality service complement each other.In the interpretation of material language, we use colour woven carpets, customized woven carpets, ultra-white tempered back-painted glass, white porcelain aluminium plates, wood grain plates, imitation carpet of floor tiles, wood grain aluminium sound-absorbing panels and other economically strong materials. Infiltrating the senses of the viewer to tell the vicissitudes of the city and its cultural connotations.Everyone has a deep understanding of the city of Qingdao, the environment is the same, the architecture is the same, and the interior space is the same. The many issues that mankind will face in the post-epidemic era is the profound thinking brought about by the post-epidemic era. It is the process of human civilization’s "rebirth", realizing the realization of seeing and perceiving with the heart, and lamenting the redesigned and planned Citizen Center, restoring the vitality of the past, and believing that good design can constantly renew itself and empower the city. Space injects energy into urbanites with its way and power, and creates new life in a slight but uninterrupted metabolism.
