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.

Clear Water Mold Architecture-Taichung Fu House

BSTUDIO Architectural Space Integration Design The work of Architect Chen Bingxin_Taichung Fu's house site itself is only 50 square meters, but it can create a personalized living quality space of about 100 square meters. Taking into account the direction of light, air circulation, and a private terrace and small courtyard.
Once the water formwork is grouted and removed, no further construction can be done on the wall. Therefore, multiple 1:1 model proofing tests are a very important step. In the early stage, the space performance, circuit configuration, template size, etc. must be determined very carefully! And. The texture of "Taichung Fu House" is a delicate off-white color with clear water molding, and is matched with grilles, solid wood, and stone to enhance the touch and temperature of the interior of the building and the rich and harmonious architectural expression of the exterior.

B-Studio:日式簡約
 ▲Choose solid wood decoration materials with warm texture in the living room to embellish the warm atmosphere of the home.

The wall surface of clear water molding has no sense of violation when used in indoor partitions; there is no need to make extra surface materials and tiling. And create a special and natural minimalist style. Use partial solid wood decoration materials in the living and bedroom spaces to bring out some warm aftertaste and create a sense of hierarchy in different spaces.
