Residential Analysis This design is aimed at the Asian cultural circle. In order to show its cultural and architectural characteristics, the ancient buildings less than ten centuries ago are selected as the prototypes for analysis. This design selects the cave dwelling on the Loess Plateau of China, the Kandovan of Turkey and the Yayoi house of Japan as sample. I hope to extract the design language of the museum through analysis.

Profile Analysis
Profile Extraction
Diagram Combination After extracting profiles, in order to form a complete diagram of the terrain, different profiles are abstracted in this design. According to different axes, these extracted profiles are combined with each other to form the five diagrams above.
Section The building Section is made up of three main sections: the circular theatre on the left, the exhibition area in the middle, and the lobby on the right.

This design starts from the bubble study in order to see the tension of the membrane structure. Considering the function of the greenhouse, the membrane structure is applied as the roof of the building. This design tries to combine the tectonic and functional use and serve for community ultimately.
