Jingdezhen Ceramic Centre

Project information

Client: Yourun International

Project Date: 2014

Site Location: Jingdezhen City, China

Project Status: Planning Application

Jingdezhen, named in honour of local fine white clay and bone like porcelain. The distinctive blue and white glaze and traditional artwork were copied all over Europe. The city of Jingdezhen has been the focus of the Chinese ceramic industry for millennia, and has become the global ambassador for one of the most refined art forms from an ancient culture. The architecture and master planning are by ZEDfactory and will be one of the best global examples of low carbon urbanism applied to an interesting and diverse public realm.

Direct flights can be taken between Jingdezhen, Beijing and Shanghai by travelling through Jingdezhen Luojia Airport. Jingdezhen Railway station also provides links Beijing, Shanghai and surrounding cities and towns. The China Railway Corporation have announced there will be a high speed rail extension, stopping in Jingdezhen in 2017, allowing even faster access to the site.

Project Concept

Massing

The original site contained low grade buildings that were removed to feature buildings are retained.

原基地有被拆迁的低端房以及被保留的高价值建筑

The Topical Chinese shopping malls have a little active frontage and uninviting on the site.

普通的中国商场头很小的入口并且不是十分地引人注目

By splitting the site into walk-able blocks, a shopping district can be created.

切割场地的体块之后形成了一个购物区域

Once the ground pedestrian routes are created, the blocks are manipulated to create stopping points and plazas.

地面的道路形成之后，体块中间形成了据点以及小广场

Public spaces are created within the pattern of urban blocks.

公共空间形成于这些现代建筑体块的纹理夹缝中

Linkages on high level make full use of buildings at all level

设在建筑高层空间的连桥使得建筑空间在各个层次都可以得以充分使用

Vertical circulation points ensure that all destinations can be easily reached.

垂直交通流线点可以保证各个空间目的地都可以轻松到达。

Main routes are protected by solar canopy to ensure that they are usable in all weathers,create slow circulation benefits on all commercial stores

室外的主要流线上空都覆盖了太阳能屋面来适应各种天气,创造慢性人流，为商业购物创造更多价值

• South Aerial View with Solar Panel

The really big idea in this project is to move the solar farm from the valuable farmland outside the city into where electricity is needed in the city centre. Making the solar farm into a translucent ventilated glazed roof sheltering the main circulation routes from rain and sun creates pedestrian friendly streets in all weathers and increases the commercial value of plots farthest from the main city road.

Golden triangle for pedestrian circulation

在‘黄金三角’步行流线的三个节点，我们设计了标志性建筑和一些有意思的景观（比如滑梯和屋顶花园）来吸引游客到达园区的各个位置。

Central Plaza

中心广场

Open Air Cinema

室外电影院

On the three corners of the triangular circulation, we have designed landmark buildings and special landscapes (i.e. slides or roof garden) to attract people arriving different parts of the site.

First Floor Pedestrain Circulation

The site is permeable at all levels resulting in less need for vertical circulation between buildings.

基地建筑在各个层次都相互渗透使得垂直空间的流线需求得以减少

Open Air Theatre View

Connections through the Commercial Spaces

View of the Shopping Street

The spaces between the buildings can then provide natural cross ventilation and daylight with the stepped building massing and vertical circulation encouraging visitors from street level to upper gallery floors and a sequence of rooftop gardens connected by pedestrian bridges.
