Bamboo tower in the sky + Kunming Joy-City Ucommune

Kunming Joy City Ucommune is the second project done by DAGA Architects in Kunming. It is located in Kunming's traditional commercial district- Laoluoshi Bay and is built on the bank of the Kunming's mother river Panlong River, occupying one or more sections of Kunming City. Ucommune is located on the eleventh and twelfth floors of Joy City. DAGA works closely with the Ucommune team to explore and create a diversified workspace in line with the modern cultural environment and office style by analyzing the local characteristics of Kunming. In Kunming and even the whole Yunnan region, there are very distinct ethnic, regional and cultural characteristics, and they are all well preserved. The reason why Yunnan retains its unique regional atmosphere is that it is not been changed by the background of urbanization. In the city, there is never a lack of modern buildings, but in the process of uniform development, they are gradually converging. Urban space needs to reflect the regionality, not only a kind of protection of tradition and culture but also an embodiment of the diversification of urban development. The project is located on the top floor of the whole building. We designed these two floors and the roof as a whole, and planted a sky bamboo building in the center, creating a huge enclosed space in the building and eliminating the building. The uniform texture of the rectangular column net. The bamboo tower is a symbolic residential house of the Dai family in Yunnan. We extended this element in the public area, combined with regional materials, so that the entire design can convey the personality and characteristics of the city to the people.
