Ribbon Chapel, Hiroshima, Japan: Where Unity of Souls take place

-

Ribbon Chapel is situated in Hiroshima, Japan, designed by Japanese Architect Hiroshi Nakamura of NAP Architects. He conceptualized one of the soulful bond in his designing of this chapel i.e. marriage. It is absolutely evident from the high interlaced stairs of chapel which symbolizes the agreement of two souls going to heaven. Those white stairs coming out from opposite direction and intertwined with each other and become till it reach to the top. Ribbon Chapel is constructed in midst of a perfect location which proved as a best place for the manifestation of love. It is situated on the garden of Bella Vista Sakaigahama- a resort hotel in Onomichi, Hiroshima-comes with a beautiful background of hills and Japan’s Seto inland sea. It was opened in 2013.

The Ribbon chapel is 15.5 m high. Its construction took place over the site area of 2500 m2. It covers the area of 80.0 sqm. The stand out quality of Ribbon chapel is it’s single building which don’t has any separate room or place within. The intertwined spiral stairs does the function of roof, floor and wall. The only separate place here is the aisle which faced towards the symbol tree with 80 seats to sit. This whole sitting area leads to alter with the backdrop of symbol tree. The main material which is used in construction of spiral stairs cum straps are wood which is painted in white and curving titanium zinc alloy hand rests to prevent erosion from sea breeze. To move the window glass pane conveniently during any strong wind or earthquake, the pane is supported by dot point glazing (DPG) arms of inner side of chapel.
As chapel is symbolic of unity of two souls but there is one more reason that two separate horizontal staircases has created. It is to balance the chapel. It does the function of pillar because the spiral horizontal stairs is itself a single structural entity. To balance the building from both the side, two staircases are created. The outer stairway joins with inner stairways at upper side. Steel frame is intact at the upper side which increases the weight of building. In order to decrease the weight a pendulum type of isolation device has been in chapel.

  MEP coordination services or mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services share an important role in the overall BIM services. The process of BIM coordination services is to streamline the work with the adherence of required software and tools. The overall construction work of the building undergoes with a lot many stages i.e from the forming of the building fabric, its structure, to its external envelopes like steel, concrete, panel, and a lot more. While constructing a building HVAC services too need to be taken into consideration, this is also an important aspect in the construction field.   The overall process of MEP coordination services is not that simple as it seems in the images or its drawings as that shared online. The complete creation, as well as undertaking of the MEP BIM Coordination Services, is a success and this is possible only with the help of outsourcing MEP coordination services with the leading MEP coordination services provider. The MEP team is compri...

In today’s competitive construction landscape, contractors and subcontractors are increasingly relying on Building Information Modeling (BIM) to streamline project workflows and boost productivity. BIM isn’t just a trend in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry—it’s a game-changer. For contractors and construction firms in the USA, understanding and using Architectural BIM effectively can be the difference between meeting project milestones and exceeding them. Let's look at some essential BIM tools, key benefits, and practical tips that can set contractors up for success in AEC projects. 1. Why Contractors Need Architectural BIM in AEC Projects Architectural BIM provides contractors with an integrated, data-rich digital representation of a project, covering every detail from design to construction. It includes everything from Architecture CAD Drawing and Architectural 3D Models to advanced Architectural 3D Rendering Services, allowing for improved visualiza...

How LOD450 and 5D BIM services are interconnected with one another for pre-construction and early design stages for the construction project?

-
Image
  The process of pre-construction and conceptual design process is a long seen work that cannot be avoided and it is due to the size of the project. In the past, the traditional method, as well as early architectural concepts and designs, were known to be a lengthier process and for the same, the discussion for the same too was taking a lot of time. Not only this but the owner and architect both need to have a discussion on various channels and also if there are any changes required to be done to an existing facility.   It is very much necessary that before the start of the project there should be an early conversation between the two parties as this stage is the reason for any project's success. This is where the task of 5D BIM Services comes into the picture. This stage of work helps in evaluating the conceptual design, and then at the later stage assessing the overall project's budget and its schedule. Thus, this is the process in which the building needs to assign the work...
