"Suspension" is an important feature of elevators, which is often overlooked in daily life. In fact, we have unknowingly entered a "suspended" life.
Therefore, the exhibition hall wraps and supports the interior with a transparent steel structure skin, allowing a suspended volume to protrude, creating the most intuitive sense of suspension. This volume, known as the "Suspended Cube", serves multiple functions such as exhibition, meeting, and events.
Module façade
The transparent skin is a light steel structure composed of cubic modules with a side length of 1.2 meters. The support rods and tension rods extending along the spatial diagonal lines jointly address the partial load of the cantilevered volume inside.
Moreover, these continuous squares, like monuments, float in the air. They are structures, skins, like well shafts, like buildings, like the squares referred to in the " Columbarium Habitabile ", [annotation：Columbarium Habitabile. ©Alexander Brodsky & Ilya Utkin] like dazzling diamonds. They are the phantoms of urban monuments.
Continuous surface
Under the skin of the module, there is a solid space with both ends "turned up". The "lifted" ground connects different elevations. Within the 5.5-meter height limit of the space, it forms a continuous surface that links different functional spaces such as the reception hall, meeting space, small theater, and product exhibition gallery.
transparency
Transparency is another important expression, as it can bring a sense of lightness. This is to achieve the "suspension" of the volume in the structure while enriching the design concept from more aspects.
Regarding the main color of space, the "suspended cube" is rendered in a gradient of orange-yellow, which seeps through the facade. In the initial sample tests, the sunlight seemed to be contained in a cube, thus giving rise to the concept of "cubic sunrise".
In the inner space, a meeting space, a small theater that can accommodate 50 people, a 5.5 meters-height hall for dynamic display of two exquisite elevator products, and a display volume that can accommodate four carriages are required.
