Research
Located in a world geopark, this project's bottom line is conservation. It controlled the floor area ratio based on the machine simulation that analyzed factors such as ecological sensitivity, hydrological and geological conditions. In addition, in depth social surveys were conducted to preserve traditional residential features and living habits, which is the basis for sustainable development.
Inspiration
The project was inspired by"Linpan landscape" and "Fengshui" whose core philosophy is following the nature. "Linpan landscape" is a traditional Chinese rural living environment that organically integrates farmyards with surrounding trees, rivers and other natural elements. Fengshui is an approach often used by traditional villages to select dwelling site based on the topography.
