PROJECT YEAR | Year 3 Final Project BArch
PROJECT LOCATION | Kunming, Yunnan, China
PROJECT TYPE | Learning Centre and Biodiversity Garden
Kunming is known as the ‘City of Perpetual Spring’ and famous for its diverse natural biodiversity. The site is located in the ‘Wenming Block’, one of two remaining heritage blocks where the Confucius Temple sits. The Eco Learning Centre and Biodiversity Garden are concentrated in the idea of harmony, hierarchy and symmetry inspired by Fengshui and Chinese architecture. There are five separate buildings: a game pavilion to play mahjong, an outdoor theatre for taichi and dance, a library, a cafe, and a museum.
Architecture aside, I am a proactive, hard-working, and creative individual who always strives for improvement. I love to observe how the culture impacts the architecture in different places and constantly challenge myself by frequently travelling all over the world (15 countries so far!).
If I am not travelling or working, you can probably find me painting those places I have travelled to in my room (see picture on the right), reading books about any kind of subjects in the corner of the library, or hanging out and cooking together with my family and friends.
P.s: I am fascinated with analog photography and pictures displayed here are taken with a £15 35mm film camera.
