HUAIHUA MUSEUM PROPOSAL

HUAIHUA, HUNAN, CHINA
UNITED DESIGN GROUP, INTERN ARCHITECT

My role: concept development, building skin research

Huaihua is a prefecture-city level in the Hunan Province. The city is surrounded by Mount Heng and crossed by a web of rivers named “Wu Xi” (five rivers) which helped the growth of this relatively small city and its economy. This proposal tried to translate the ‘‘Wu Xi Spirit’ into the project, superimposing the layout of the five rivers into site; this pattern will form the circulation space inside the building.

The choice of the stone in the façade with different patterns is used to achieve a solid look and the extensive use of green pitched roof to give a more natural aspect.
