Smart Water Hall/WAUDesign

We put forward the construction strategy of "breaking up the whole into parts", decomposing the building into two parts that can be constructed simultaneously: the bottom part is the children's exhibition hall of concrete structure, and is flush with the elevation of the walkway along the river; the upper part is the achievement exhibition hall and the public education room of steel structure and is elevated on the riverbank walkway, connecting to the main square at the road.

Due to the demands of flood control, we adopt the concrete shear wall structure at the bottom pat. The 200m2 children's exhibition hall is within the scope of the demolished old building, leaving a large area of walkway space far away from the riverbank, which can reduce earthwork excavation. In addition, the ready-made construction surface can save construction time. In addition, some functions are set at the elevation of the riverbank, which can reduce the building volume at the elevation of the main square and maintain the intimate sense of scale between the city interface and the river.

The steel structure of standard repeating units is adopted for the upper part. After half a month of pile foundation construction, the prefabricated structural components can just be transported to the site for installation. The column-span is 2.4m with a modulus of 0.6m, which can make the fixed furniture plates, floor tiles, doors and windows, railings, and wall panels very compatible, ensuring good quality control of rapid construction. The suspended upper part perfectly avoids the original landscape walkways and trees. The upper and lower parts of the building are staggered in-plane and are only connected by stairs, which is the only structural connection.
