AntiStatics-2024-6
北京
An aerial precedent showcasing low-rise commercial pavilions wrapped in suspended metal mesh screens and topped with deep pergolas for solar control in an urban context.
- What we like about this project
- Fine metal mesh acts as a semi-transparent veil wrapping entire corners without interrupting the underlying glazing.

- Geometry
- Low-rise rectangular pavilions featuring continuous overhanging pergolas and exterior metal mesh drapery that wraps corners and frames entries.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall glazing overlaid with suspended woven metal mesh and structural steel sunshades.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame construction with glass curtain walls and secondary steel pergolas.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story low-rise architectural scale relative to pedestrians and adjacent high-rise apartments.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting crisp vertical shadows through the metal mesh and structural frames onto the building volume.
- Atmosphere
- Bright, industrial, and cleanly articulated against the surrounding urban fabric.
- Environmental context
- Urban infill setting featuring surrounding multi-story residential blocks, asphalt roadways, and integrated mature trees.
- Spatial experience
- The composition creates a layered threshold between the curving street infrastructure and recessed glazed entrances shaded by lightweight pergolas.
- Composition rhythm
- Horizontal pergola frames paired with vertical hanging mesh intervals establish a rhythmic envelope.
