Recently, the Lulang town government public service center, presided over and completed by Professor Chen Keshi and the design team, stood out from more than 370 participating projects and won the gold award of the 4th Shenzhen Architectural Design Award (completed projects), reflecting the full recognition of the design scheme by the expert judges. The public service center of Lulang town government is designed by China Reconstruct Institute of Urban and Architectural Design (CR) and the construction drawing is designed by Shenzhen Qinghuayuan Architecture and Planning Design Research Co., Ltd.


 
Lulang town government project is located in the "south of Tibet" Linzhi Lulang town. It is the core building of Lulang, including the administrative office of the town government, one-stop service hall, court, police station, cultural broadcasting center , health center, etc. The design follows the concept of complete form, humanism and landscape priority, and takes originality, regionality and artistry as the core design principles.

The traditional Tibetan houses in Gongbu have a relatively private courtyard built with firewood or stone. This design draws lessons from its spatial organization. The town government, courts, police stations and cultural broadcasting center share a courtyard space. The local rubble masonry courtyard wall is built, and the pedestrian entrance gate is set on the south side.


The facade design of the building adopts the public building style with high traditional Tibetan shape combined with modern techniques. It is an important spiritual space node in Lulang town; taking advantage of the flexible and asymmetric characteristics of the spatial layout and facade modeling of traditional Tibetan buildings, the designer carefully arranged the building volume form in the facade design, and adopted the wood frame load-bearing structure system. The wall adopts the collection and distribution inclined wall, and the part of the corridor adopts the treatment of gray space, taking full account of the climate characteristics. The building adopts heavy walls with a thickness of more than 300mm. In addition to local evacuation stairs, the main stairs adopt Tibetan U shaped, L-shaped and straight running stairs.

Top lights are set in the main public spaces and stairs to create a mysterious light and shadow space effect unique to Tibet. The color design is pure and concise, with white as the main color, followed by red, black, green and earthy yellow. Doors and windows are mostly in log color. The exterior wall adopts the method of brushing white mortar outside the stone exterior wall in traditional Tibetan architecture. The overall architectural design reflects the overall characteristics of solid and stable structure and diverse forms of Tibetan traditional buildings.

The design draws lessons from the famous public buildings yongbulakan in Tibet, the White House and Jokhang Temple in the Potala Palace. It has the characteristics of taking advantage of the mountain, free growth, asymmetric layout, irregular enclosed courtyard and so on. The town government office building group breaks the symmetrical layout of traditional government buildings, and the layout is flexible and free. The town government office building, court and cultural radio and Television Center are combined to form a main building. The one-stop service hall and police station are located on the left side of the main building, and there are corridors between each building. The town government adopts an inclined plane in the plane layout, which is similar to the spatial intention of embracing the welcome shape. The interior is an enclosed courtyard, taking into account the possibility of space transformation in the later stage.

The group layout of Lulang town government office building is flexible and free, with scattered heights, reflecting the layout style of free growth, asymmetry and enclosed courtyard. The wall is a traditional inclined wall in Tibet, reflecting the solid and stable structure of traditional Tibetan Architecture; The whole building is scattered in height and rich in levels. At the same time, it emphasizes the main building and gives some guidance.

The change of courtyard space and the natural change of courtyard space will become the natural change of courtyard space. Various buildings create the artistic charm of Tibetan architectural space with rich spatial changes, combined with light and materials.

The design method of Lulang town government building complex is to maintain the integrity of single buildings, which is the combination of several single buildings. The single buildings themselves are complete, and then achieve balance in the process of combination. The buildings on both sides are relatively symmetrical, not absolutely symmetrical, so the shape of the main building of the town government is complete.

The great difference between Tibetan Architecture and Central Plains architecture is its echo with the environment, especially with the mountains. This is an echo relationship caused by natural geography. From the plane, there is no absolute requirement for a regular orientation. Therefore, when designing the town government, it did not pursue absolute symmetry, but achieved a balanced relationship through the balance of the left and right sides, which is a very important feature of Tibetan architecture.

Lulang international tourism town, including Lulang town government public service center, was completed by the CR design team led by Professor Chen Keshi in five years, with the China Urban Design Research Center of Peking University as the chief consultant and Professor Chen Keshi as the chief designer.
