Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Unbounded Space in Beijing, China by SODA architectsJune 4th, 2019 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: SODA architects Unbounded Space This project is an apartment built for Guangda investement group with the theme of ” Ideal Living Unit of Future”. Beyond space and dimensional restrictions are a brand-new exploration of the future living space by SODA Architects. Generally, the boundary of space is defined by its physical location. Using digital materials to break the physical boundary and using the digital images as the connection with different dimensions to achieve the elegant fusion of Screen Wall and Wall Transparent is the starting point of our design.

We set different content themes for the four screens. For example, three of the screens will play Paris Live, NASA's 24-hour live broadcast and local TV content in Beijing, so that the residents can feel different time situations through the different screens. When people see the sunset in Beijing through real windows, Paris is still sunny in the virtual window inside the house. When they wake up in the morning, the dark boundless universe sent back by NASA is just on the screen beside the bed. In such a space, the concept of time is blurred. It is stretched and expanded through all the screens, making people have different time impressions and enrich emotional experience. The screen is not only having its basic function, it also affects the feeling of living.

Therefore, we re-selected the windowing area and extended the geometric texture of this rectangle to the closed solid walls on both sides of the unit. The screens, displays and light boxes on the three walls are arranged in a unique way, breaking the fixed feeling of traditional solid space boundary and forms an irregular Screen Wall.

To break this, we use Dupont Tyvek paper to naturally blend the windows, light boxes and displays together to form a new multimedia Perspective the Wall. On the back of the paper, LED light sources are evenly distributed. Passing through the Wall Transparent, the light becomes softer, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere for the space and a warm living environment exploring the future.

The walls are as transparent as if it could penetrate, weakening their thick feeling. As a multimedia material, the screen is not bound by its form. The display content can be either a dynamic landscape image combined with the scenery outside the window or a digital window in the information age. This project is an illustration of “media space” that we advocate. Digital content will bring about the perfection of function and the optimization of experience for the space, making the space full of dynamic flexibility and interest., creating a warm, comfortable atmosphere and an elegant living environment looking towards future.
