Designers Studio SKLIM lead by Beijing architect Kevin Lim had to fill up a narrow strip of land measuring approximately 35 m long and ranging in width from 7 to 13 metres. Six tensile membrane canopy structures at varying heights were already present. The challenge was to provide kiosks and to optimise the use of space without obstructing pedestrian circulation.
Studio SKLIM reused existing canopy structures without sacrificing their structural integrity. A series of top and bottom roller bearings provide mobility to the individual kiosk units and a new supporting structure – welded to the existing columns – transferred the new loads to the existing foundation. Additional electrical routing was avoided through clever re-use of services and shared energy resources.
