Regarding Vanke Design Commune Auditorium
Vanke Design Commune is an auditorium and public interior space in Shenzhen, China. The design uses the existing structures to form a floating path leading from the entrance to the auditorium. This steel corridor is suspended in the full-height front hall and is supported by the existing vertical columns, which also conceal pipelines. Heavy concrete and light metal create a strong contrast, giving the corridor an elevated appearance. The route simplifies circulation and offers a garden-like walk. An independent viewing area above the auditorium is combined with a tea drink space.
About Wang Jingjing
Space is a medium to connect and reveal. Starting from this point of view, all of our thinking and practices in ONEXN lead to the essence of architecture, and that is exactly what ONE stands for. On the other hand, X stands for the multiple opportunities and challenges from unknown fields when our architectural thinking interacts with the external world and bring about transformations and reactions where we can make something different. We are not satisfied with the completion of a project, but want to realize the continuity of the context, and create places that are closely related to our life.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Based on the existing spatial structures, the design creates a "floating path" in the full-height front hall. The "floating path" offers a unique three-dimensional garden touring-like experience on the way to the auditorium from the entrance. This steel-structure corridor is completely supported by existing vertical columns, while also hiding pipelines. Concrete and metal generate a distinctive contrast, enabling the "floating path" to produce a mysterious levitation effect.
- Inspiration
- The design team was entrusted to conceive the auditorium and public area in Design Commune, aiming to create a community-style public space, which can provide more display and communication opportunities for users, stimulate participation of design firms and individuals, and link various design practices on the basis of "new consumption mode".
- Research
- The designers proposed to create an independent watching area in part of the hollow area above the auditorium, and this was supported by the client. Meanwhile, it also inspired the client to come out with the idea of combining this area with tea drink selling functions to produce a new commercial space. When the auditorium is not used for conferences, the screen are available for playing event information, advertisements, and films at certain time, presenting the auditorium's infinite function possibilities to people in the tea drink space.
- Challenge
- The architectural scheme separated the two floors of the space as independents parts, and the upper level provided poor accessibility. This posed a great challenge to the interior design. In response to the site's restrictions and the project's intention of serving designer community, the design team worked out a design scheme, which reshaped the circulations inside and outside the exhibition hall so as to effectively offer design-linked services to the community.
- Realization and Technology
- In this project, the design reshapes functions, reorganizes circulation route and adopts visual guiding expressions to maximize design firms' vitality, potential and value and create innovative scenes that can facilitate collaboration and connection.
- Operation and Interaction
- The "floating path" simplifies the original circulation route on the way to the auditorium from the basement floor, effectively achieving a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics. With the elaborate steel structure design, this floating corridor is completely supported by the exiting columns, whilst hiding pipelines as well. Heavy concrete and light metal generate a strong contrast. The clean, pure space enables the "floating path" to produce a mysterious levitation effect.
