Three main volumes are arranged along the three sides of the
site, which houses the laboratory, office and exhibition hall. The rectangular
site is enclosed by the building to create a courtyard open to the city road.
The four immovable trees are kept in place in the courtyard. Four small volumes
of independent buildings are scattered throughout the courtyard, dividing the
courtyard into multiple areas with different sense of scale. The winding pool
water flows through the courtyard, connecting the outdoor space divided by the
buildings.
Above the courtyard, we set a pure white metal grid, like a
cloud, floating between the courtyard and the trees. The grilles filter
sunlight and bring even illumination, giving the courtyard a wonderful view
between the outside and the inside.The tree becomes the most expressive element
of the site, either penetrating through the clouds or spreading gracefully
beneath them.When fog rises, space becomes mysterious and elegant. Wandering
through the roof garden, you can see huge clouds floating among the trees. When
the leaves are blowing in the wind, the shadow moving through the clouds.
People who work here can take a break from their tense desks at any time and
immerse themselves in the tranquil natural changes.
Rational and rigorous architecture presents a poetic
combination of nature and artificial in the courtyard. The landscape of the
courtyard changes with the seasons, The light passing trough the clouds gently
outlines the architectural features and soon fades away.
