Design thought
The design thought is derived from the wild goose flying south and perched on the hill. Lead architect Wang Ning shared his idea “If the construction is just a glass discipline, it may haven’t any presence from a distance, and the extraordinarily reflective glass might be very incongruous in a farmyard. Thus, we wished to create that ‘imaginary’ physique from the outset, like a hen’s feathers which will breathe and through which daylight and sight can cross it.”
In harmony with nature
The underside flooring is elevated and has colonnades beneath the eaves that enterprise outwards to allow for a stroll beneath. The setting up façade adopts a giant house of hidden-frame glass ribbed curtain wall. This extends the surface good view into the within, dissolving the boundary between construction and nature.

Relying on the custom of Sichuan, the traditional supplies of bamboo has been chosen to be formed into picket bamboo via a model new course of. The modular picket bamboo cross members are mortised and pinned to at least one one other to sort plenty of layers of ambiguous timber physique home. After regular refinement of the structural connections and the final architectural aesthetics, a whole of 20 columns and roughly 30,000 pendants are used to complete the final word influence by the use of cross-over chew hyperlinks.
The design workforce has explored a model new pattern of sunshine improvement on the plains of western Sichuan. Ning Wang says:” I imagine it fits notably correctly with the lifetime of Chengdu people: relaxed, native, vibrant nonetheless not static.”
