MENTION
Huaneng Suzhou Gas Turbine
Power Plant
C
Industrial Buildings
Architect:
ZHANG Yingpeng / School of Archtiecture,
Southeast University
Location:
Suzhou, China
The overall plan has four main objectives. The first is to solve the problems of the relationships
between the factory and the regional environment. The second is to consider the interior, handling
the spatial relationship of the various processual components. The third is to study the
spatial scale of each building and structure and propose criteria for selecting the locations
and forms of representative buildings and structures. The fourth objective is to integrate the
Huaneng Group's “red” company promoting socialism with Chinese characteristics. The project
is to give full consideration of how industrial buildings can be converted achieving the goal
of “post-industrialization.”
JURY CITATION: As function-driven architecture, the architect of the project not only considered
the arrangement of various process components of the power plant but also try to define
the architectural space in a more human way, showing the industrial beauty by using refined
materials and detailing the internal space, coordinating the colors between concrete, walls and
the boilers, which provides better spatial experience and working environment for the staffs
and workers.
