After designing the original "Thai High Tech" structure they
proposed to build
"Good architecture should reveal
when it was build - the economy, culture and environment of
the time"
says the head of the team which conceptualized, designed and
supervised construction of the QSNCC in a mere 20 months.
After designing the original "Thai
High Tech" structure they proposed to build, the
Center's architects traveled to Hong Kong, Singapore,
London, Copenhagen, Paris and Berlin to see what refinements
might be made to ensure the QSNCC finished up firmly in the
world's top league.
While incorporating state-of-the-art convention center
technology, the QSNCC outwardly is distinctively Thai.
Its
yellow and soft-white coloring echoes the hues often
employed for traditional Thai non-wood structures. Inward
sloping exterior walls respect an aesthetically pleasing,
highly distinctive style that traditionally also lends
strength to the structure.
Untraditionally, special
heat-reflecting glass mounted on space frames has been
incorporated to admit light. Special drapes beneath are
automatically triggered at the hottest time of the day to
descend, both diffusing light and conserving coolness.
The entrance to the QSNCC is protected by a three-tired
glass canopy, the original inspiration for which is a temple
in Lampang, northern Thailand.
The Center's cavernous
interior covers almost 65,000 square meters and is divided
into four main areas all of which are interconnected. The
design of the entrance hall and the rest of the Center's
interior honors many of the themes observed in designing
large traditional Thai structures.
Esoteric as all that may sound, the harmonious relationship
achieved between the different parts of a large traditional
Thai structure transpose remarkably well into the needs of a
large meeting facility.
At vast conferences such as the
World Bank/IMF Annual Meetings, it is essential that all
delegate needs can be handled comfortably and efficiently on
site.
