Design of Cultural Architecture

Project
Introduction

The project is located in Tanjiaqiao Town, north of Huangshan City in Anhui Province, adjacent to the east gate of Huangshan Scenic Area and East Huangshan International Town, surrounded by abundant natural landscapes. The design integrates regional culture and modern progress, drawing from the environment and Huizhou architecture to embody simplicity, elegance, and modernity, while infusing the building with local cultural significance. The architectural form highlights transparency and Huizhou architectural features, synthesizing traditional elements with modern design. The continuous spaces of the exhibition hall’s foyer and vestibule reinforce the building’s scale and unity. The facade design contrasts textures and components, harmonizing with the surrounding environment while creating a regional highlight. The main facade faces the north side’s Youyou Lake, offering expansive views and creating a scenic relationship with the water, framed by surrounding mountains for an ideal “mountain-surrounded-water” effect. Huizhou architectural features, such as varied rooflines and black-and-white walls, are incorporated into the design, with modern materials and techniques softening the bulkiness of the building and integrating it with the urban fabric. The interior courtyard, inspired by the “courtyard” features a square water garden that reflects the surrounding mountains, fully capturing the Huizhou essence. The facade uses Portuguese beige granite, dark gray aluminum-magnesium-manganese alloy panels, and wood-grain metal grilles, echoing traditional colors. The flexible space design includes movable partitions in the multifunction hall to accommodate various functions. Off-season, the space can host events like company annual meetings and cultural activities, serving as a public leisure and cultural hub. The building’s roof design ensures continuity and efficient use of space, with features that enhance indoor height and natural ventilation, reducing energy consumption. The project blends natural scenery with cultural depth, showcasing a harmonious union of tradition and modernity.
