Unique Properties: The incorporation of Shanshui art principles explores a unique design method to reflect upon, respect, and enhance the qualities of Maotai's rich culture and mountainous landscape. The use of traditional Chinese architecture prototypes, such as alleys, courtyards, and halls, as spatial features, aims to create a rich experience for visitors.
Dimensions & Packaging: Overall: 90m(L) x 100m(W) x varies(H), alley width: 10m
Tags: cultural architecture, regionalism, atmosphere, mountain, Shanshui
Production Technology: Local fire bricks, perforated metal panels, wood, steel, glass
Design Challenge: Challenges:
1. How to break down the volume using the logic of "waves" and create a sense of continuity between the natural surroundings and the built environment.
2. How to minimize the building's negative impact on the local micro-climate by designing a perforated facade.
3. How to take into consideration the local cultural context and industries.
Research: I gained a comprehensive understanding of the site conditions, the local culture, and the Shanshui art, through site visits, conversations with locals, and online research,
Inspiration: Chinese Shanshui paintings feature mountains, water, and people in a harmonious relationship. The site is in Maotai, China. Sandwiched between two hills, it presents a unique opportunity for us to engage the landscape in the design process. In the background, we see the mountainous landscape, looking like "waves" of mountains.
Project Duration: Duration: 2 months. Location: Maotai, Guizhou, China
Operation Flow: The two hills (north and south) are connected by an alley that "cuts" the cultural center into two parts (east and west) - this creates "the landscape path". Visitors can come in and leave the building through both the north entrance and the south entrance - this creates the ground-level through-connection.
