太湖边的变形亭

九宫亭位于无锡市渤公岛生态园。地块毗邻琴音桥，东侧视野开阔，西侧为一片景观竹林，南侧更是距离作为太湖内湖的蠡湖仅有十米之遥，景观资源极其优越。项目的功能为茶室，我们结合景观条件，首先构想出一座具有一定室内空间的玻璃亭子。

The Nine-Square Pavilion is situated within the Bogongdao Ecological Park of Wuxi City. The plot is adjacent to Qinyin Bridge, with an open view on the east side; a bamboo grove on the west; and only ten meters away from Li Lake, an inner lake of Tai Lake, on the south side, boasting exceptional sceneries. The function of the project is a tea house. Our initial concept involves a glass pavilion with some interior spaces that embraces the surrounding landscape conditions.

玻璃的物质性

对于玻璃幕墙，人们往往首要关注的是其通透性，仿佛玻璃的应用源自于其物质性的部分缺失所带来的无边界感。这也是一些经典的现代主义玻璃建筑所秉持的观点：用玻璃，为了感受不到玻璃。在九宫亭，我们希望重新强调玻璃的物质性：既是内外分界，也是空间隔断；同时也尝试通过玻璃隔墙的并置与交错，来体现透明性的叠加和变化。

In the context of glass curtain walls, people are often primarily focus on the transparency, as if glass has no material presence. This perspective also aligns with some classic modernist glass buildings: glass is used to avoid the sensation of glass. In the Nine-Square Pavilion, we aimed to re-emphasize the materiality of glass: it serves as both an operable physical boundary between inside and outside; simultaneously, it also tries to reflect the layering and varying degrees of transparency through the juxtaposition and interleaving of glass partition walls.

灵活的亭子

九宫作为中国传统的图像格局和数字游戏，在3×3的网格中体现事物的发展与变化。我们在方形台地上划出一个每格为3.3×3.3米的九宫格系统。12组纤细的圆形钢柱在宫格交点处撑起厚重的屋面。24道玻璃滑轨门沿格边布置，围合出可变化的玻璃隔断体系。根据不同的使用场景，移动滑门改变隔断的围合方式，使室内“宫格”与半室外“宫格”相互转化，在“十字模式”和“田字模式”间感受灵活的空间及使用体验。

As a traditional Chinese pattern named JiuGongGe or Nine Palace Grid and a game of numbers, nine-square embodies the evolution and transformation of elements within a 3x3 grid. A nine-unit system is delineated on the square platform, with each measuring 3.3m x 3.3m. The roof is supported by twelve slender round steel columns at the intersections of the grid. 24 glass sliding doors arranged along the grid lines to open and enclose the movable glass partition system. According to different usage scenarios, these sliding doors can allow transformations between indoor "squares" and semi-outdoor "squares ".

人们或居于室内，或坐于檐下，在道道玻璃隔断的映射里感受水波湖风的环抱与叠加。滑门也化身为轻盈的屏风，在开合中诉说这座太湖边的小亭子的轻巧与灵动。

As the result, people may experience the encircling and superposition of the waves in the lake in the reflections of the glass panes whether being inside the room(s) or sitting under the eaves.
