Site Analysis

The project is a 80,000-square-metre thermal power plant on the western side of Tianning Temple, Xicheng District. It once served as a heating source in the central western part of Beijing. At present, the old factory area is faced with problems such as the integration and utilization of the campus buildings. So there is a strong historical atmosphere here. Old plant boiler, turbine building features an obvious and industrial atmosphere.

Based on these characteristics, I used to put the comfort of the environment as well as the consideration of the architectural space in a certain place. Starting from the background of urban renewal at this stage, considering the function of the office building and the nature of its service to the surrounding environment, I choose to use the method of subtraction, based on the original skeleton of the old factory building, make an outdoor space that gives way to urban space.
