About Dongyi Dunhuang Primaire Functie: Hotel

Dongyi Dunhuang is een hotel gelegen nabij de woestijn in Dunhuang, Gansu, China. Het ontwerp is geïnspireerd op traditionele noordwestelijke gebouwen uit de regio, zoals de plaatselijke aarden muur en het drooghuis. De muren zijn opgetrokken uit stampleem gemaakt van lokaal geproduceerde modder, waardoor het hotel rustig oogt en uit het omringende landschap lijkt te groeien. De terreinoppervlakte bedraagt 41.541 vierkante meter en de bouwoppervlakte 10.299 vierkante meter. Het ontwerp volgt het idee van een stille toevlucht. Gasten kunnen tot rust komen en de geschiedenis en het natuurlijke landschap van Dunhuang ervaren.

Production Technology
The architectural design of Dongyi Dunhuang continues the thinking of the spiritual life of scholar-officials. It draws on the traditional northwestern residences such as the "earth wall" and "drying house" in Dunhuang. The rammed earth construction technique is built with locally produced mud embryos, thus making the building calm." "Hidden" in the overall surrounding environment, as if growing naturally.
Design Challenge
The Dongyi Dunhuang architectural cluster interprets people's demands for the current era, and the memories and emotions of the Dunhuang field are not only different from the surrounding buildings, but also mutually confirming.

It aims to use architecture as a carrier to create a realm of wabi-sabi from sand dunes to Gobi. The design is minimalist and the realm is secluded. It respects the texture and form of the material itself. It naturally forms an unbounded time in a bounded space.
Research
In this unique and ethereal area, Dongyi Dunhuang uses the form of architecture and space to provide guests who are far away with a place to hide and enjoy the pure Dunhuang experience.
This is a place where you can enjoy a high-quality experience.
This is a place where you can temporarily suffer from forgetting.
This is a delicate retreat.
Inspiration
What Dongyi Dunhuang plans is a place that can be hidden from the world and has an oriental aesthetic attitude.
"Hidden" is a unique and culturally significant behavior of the Chinese literati group. This kind of "hidden" temperament is often appealed to the image of boldness in the vast northwestern desert, retreating in the prosperous world, and clarifying oneself in the sparse world, declaring a kind of vigor and spirit, just like the Dongyi Dunhuang.
Project Duration
The project started in April 2018 in Dunhuang and finished in June 2021 in Dunhuang.
Operation Flow
"Dunhuang is like an old friend, but a new visitor. Thousands of years of history come with a new look. I hope to find some "possibility" to carry'her.' When introducing the Dongyi Dunhuang project, Chen Xiangjing, the chief designer of the Newsdays, expressed his expectations for Dunhuang. After many boutique hotel design practices, this stage seems to be the most mature time to explore the "possible Dunhuang". Dongyi Dunhuang is the base for finally realizing this "possibility".
