DESA1002 'Nine Quarter City' - <Yu Long Li>

Abstract

Entertainment center, a project for the children to play at Madrid, in the Spain. This building has four floors, which include the half floor on the ground floor. The first three floors are play space for children; on the top floor, it is rest room/ waiting room for parents who are take their children come to this place. The shape of this building is regular rectangle, which chooses from my original site plan; two sides are facing to street, others are next to the other buildings. So I decide use all glass windows to decorate my building, it will bring the good light to inside of space. There are ramps connected each floor in the building, which is beside window glass, also there is lift near the entrance. The concept of Entertainment center is give children new inspiration when children were play; this is like we take outside playground into the inside of building, also standing in the modern city. The important thing is make children enjoy this space, and never fell boring. This building is more empty than others, because I want to give children more space they can play. Each floor have their own function, like ground floor has a half separate floor, which is hang up by second floor; second floor has different small space cut by walls, make likes room, but not. The combination of lights and voids are major thing in this project; sunlight come to building are dramatically effect. Also the circulation connected each floor is another important part. In this Entertainment center, the parents could also have a good time in there, the big glass view and nice coffee will let people have wonderful time. On the top floor, there is coffee bar in there, parents can seat next to the big glass window to wait their children, or just have a rest.
