Qingshui Mold Architectural Design vs. Chen Bingxin Architect

Minimalist, simple and elegant style

Japanese architect Tadao Ando is good at using fair-faced concrete as the main building material. The facade shape eliminates exaggerated vocabulary and integrates the beauty of natural elements such as light, wind, and water into the surrounding environment, creating an overall Zen space atmosphere. The architectural design of clear water mold not only designs the visual experience, but also brings a calming feeling to the users of the space. Architect Chen Bingxin has been deeply influenced by Tadao Ando's unique and charming architectural techniques since he was in college; and the tonality of the clear water mold design also reflects Architect Chen's low-key and calm personality. After graduating from Donghai with a master's degree in architecture, he passed the college entrance examination and became an architect. Chen Bingxin Architect focuses on the research and application of clear water mold design.

Architectural Expression Technique-Clear Water Mold Design

Clearwater formwork design is not actually unique to Tadao Ando, but one of the expression techniques of architectural modernism. The term is used to describe unfinished concrete after casting, showing the patterns and joints imprinted on it by the formwork. It is an expression technique of architectural modernism. The construction of the water-formed building is a one-time pouring process without any decorative processes such as painting and decorative materials. It is completed as soon as the mold is opened, showing the "unprocessed" texture of concrete. The surface of the water mold is flat and smooth, which is different from ordinary concrete; it will be sprayed with a layer of waterproof protective film to prevent it from being soaked by rain or deteriorating, giving it a low-key, rustic texture.
