Students’ design was adopted for the first time in this project. The main structure of the building uses the direct connection of wooden parts, that is mortise and tenon joint.

Inspiration

When learning artistic theories, students often go as far as the processes of models or drawn plans, so it is hard for them to truly comprehend the realistic problems and obstacles in real constructions, such as the scales of every details, and the corporation of every roles. We are able to make theories, models, and plans in classes really happen, allowing architectural education to be better and more complete.
