Research

Compared with other kinds of painting, it requires to accurately and carefully reproduce the painted objects. Therefore, JIE-DRAWING has scientifically recorded the ancient buildings, urban features and living scenes of Song dynasty. Therefore, it is an important way to obtain the basis of design from the Song calligraphy and Song paintings.
Inspiration
This project creates the spatial pattern of multi-sided landscape and multiple courtyards, forming a direct dialogue between architecture and nature. The courtyard presents a natural openness while giving consideration to privacy. The project classifies the courtyards with the traditional Chinese garden landscape borrowing approach, thus the sequence between the private and public courtyards is more variable, which is closer to be in line with the contemporary aesthetic needs.
