FIT-OUTS Yuntai Ice Chrysanthemum display shelves PROJECT INFORMATION DEVELOPER: Government of Huanfeng Town, Xiuwu County, Henan Province CLIENT: Jiaozuo Yuntai Agricultural Technology DESIGN FIRM: LUO studio CONSTRUCTION FIRM: Jiaozuo Yuanbo Architectural Engineering LOCATION: Henan, China PHOTOGRAPHY: Jin Weiqi TOTAL EXHIBITION AREA: 602 square metres MAIN DISPLAY SHELF SIZE: 12m (length), 14.1m (width), 5.3m (height) MATERIALS: Thin pine panels, iron sheets COMPLETION DATE: 30 Nov 2021 SUPPORTING RURAL INDUSTRIES REVITALISATION The year 2021 marked an opening of a new chapter for China’s Rural Revitalisation Initiative. As industries take the lead in rural revitalisation, quality agricultural products and better ways of displaying them are essential. This is quite true for Houyanmen Village in Huanfeng Town, Xiuwu County, China. The Yuntai Ice Chrysanthemum Industry Park in the village needed an exhibition space to display its ice chrysanthemum products, which is a species of medicinal chrysanthemum, and the operator thought that what the products display needed was just a place with a moderate size. Therefore, they commissioned a steel structure manufacturer to construct a space with portal steel frames at a fast speed, for serving product display and live-streaming selling activities. Such portal steel frames replicated the structures of other plants in the industry park. The operator thought that the space was ready for use once furniture pieces were set in. The exhibition is a crucial step for advertising and marketing. The industrial park’s current selling channels mainly include tour groups, 56 WOOD IN ARCHITECTURE • ISSUE 2 – 2022
FIT-OUTS franchisees and live-streaming marketing. No matter in which way, a characteristic space for showcasing products is indispensable. A space integrating exhibition function with the product features can provide people with a more tangible experience, communicate products more effectively, stimulate consumption and promote the development of the industry. LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMMON MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUES Capital for industries in rural regions is precious as various factors can affect production and marketing, and further cause income losses. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, sales of local ice chrysanthemum products from tour groups have been interrupted, and the ice chrysanthemum plantation zone in the village suffered a production decrease because of floods in 2021. Taking every aspect into account, LUO studio tried to create a display setting in the existing space at a minimum cost, which was the key design principle. To this end, affordable and conveniently available materials, as well as simple techniques which did not require special equipment or experienced craftsmen, easily accessible to local villagers were applied. After analysing, LUO studio chose a type of thin wooden panels featuring a high lumber recovery rate as the main construction materials. Manufactured by a local timber factory, the panels have a sectional dimension of 60mm x 10mm, and can be relocated and assembled by hand. By bending the thin timber panels properly and then making them connected to the nodes by making use of the existing portal steel frames, a natural and vernacular spatial atmosphere was generated. TIMBER ELEMENTS AS FURNISHINGS The bending of thin panels accrues stress that enhances structural stability. 1 Each wooden panel element with a different curvature is an arched stress unit. The arched units anchor each other, with the bottom ends reaching the display stands. Therefore, the physical structure of these elements is also the form of force transmission. It is a structural element and also a functional component of display furniture. The modulus of display shelves fits into the varied sizes of agricultural products, and the structural components function as display shelves as well. The timber elements are extended and suspended under the portal steel frames, producing a natural atmosphere in the existing space. DRAWING DEVIATIONS RECTIFIED ON-SITE Before the design drawings were completed, continuous bending tests had been performed on single thin timber panels, and in this way, the design team obtained relevant technical parameters regarding curvature. However, during the construction process, due to many superimpositions of the bar elements, varied curvature from different sections of the display system, and uneven scab distribution of different batches of timber materials, there were deviations between the design drawings and actual execution. 2 1 Staff displaying products 2 South display shelf WOOD IN ARCHITECTURE • ISSUE 2 – 2022 57
