HOHOHOT EAST COACH HUB TERMINAL

INTRODUCTION :

• In order to meet the development demand of the long-distance and rapid passenger transport on the trans-
provincial highway.
• The Hohhot government decided to build the Hohohot East Coach Hub Terminal.
• Which is the center of national level coach hub and the important node among the highway, railway,
aviation, urban bus and other intermodal transport hubs.

URBAN SPACE OVERLAPPING BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF STATION-CITY
INTEGRATION :
• Adjacent to Hohohot East Railway Station to the south, the
project makes use of the space of the bus terminal station
and the railway station to form a north square on the ground
to improve the transfer accessibility of the two stations, and
connects the two stations and the north & south squares
under the ground, links the urban space separated by the
track through the underground non-motorized traffic and
commercial systems, and guarantees the accessibility and
continuity of the “aboveground and underground public
spatial system”.

TRANSLATION OF LARGE-SPAN SPACE BY USING ETHNIC ELEMENTS AS
SYMBOLS :
• Taking regional culture as a metaphor, this project extracts "yurts" and "eagles"
elements from grassland culture.
• The eagle is analyzed based on the structural morphology.
• Through echoing the eagle's shape by adjusting the Angle of the folding plate
and repeating the folding plate unit.
• Transforming the spine and ribs of the eagle into the structural language of "arch
+ rib", the building is endowed with natural order and the soul of the building is
activated , which reflects the harmonious unity of the building and nature.

SPATIAL FORM GENERATION GUIDED BY STRUCTURAL LOGIC:
Inspired by nomadic tent
structure unit, the
combination of folded plate
units and arches forms the
main structure system of the
building, reducing the huge
scale of large-span buildings,
realizing the freedom and
flexibility of column-free
space, and achieving the high
unity of architectural shape,
structural system and spatial
form.

FUNCTIONAL LAYOUT UNDER THE PRINCIPLE OF NON-INTERFERENCE :

I BEAM

STEEL PIPE ARCH

CONCRETE SUPPORT

• Under the principle of non-interference, the project divides different areas for different functions.
• Instead of the traditional mode, the station building innovatively adopts the layout of “elevated waiting hall”,
and provides safe, friendly, efficient and convenient travelling environment for passengers through the three-
dimensional streamline mode of “entry at the top and exit at the bottom”.

SPACE CONSTRUCTION WITH GRC SPECIAL-SHAPED HYPERBOLIC
PERMANENT FORMWORK AS UNITS :
• The project adopts GRC special-
shaped hyperbolic permanent
formwork units to build the space.
• Polyurethane foam material is
sprayed inside the formwork for
thermal insulation, ensuring the
insulation and texture of the wall and
saving labor and decoration costs.
• The fair-faced concrete texture of the
formwork conveys the rough and
massive body of grassland buildings,
fits the bold and robust national
personality of the grassland people.

ECOLOGICAL DESIGN STRATEGY BASED ON REGIONAL CLIMATE
CHARACTERISTICS:
• The folded plate arched roof with steep slope can adapt to the need of
quickly removing snow on the roof in winter.
• The north-south overhanging and rising wind hood can capture the natural
wind, and the projecting cornice can block the sunlight with strong
radiation in summer.
• The opening of power skylight and side window can make use of wind
pressure and thermal pressure effect for natural ventilation, delays the use
of air conditioning facilities in the transition season, achieves energy
conservation and environmental protection, and provides comfortable and
friendly public communication places for citizens in different seasons.
