A lot of people gather under the bridge playing mahjong, which implies that they need a place to relax -- a new community center. This spontaneous behavior is of vivid benefits but a lot of limitations at the same time -- spontaneous leisure activities are so accidental that we should furtherly care, for example we can offer a gazebo.
1 Ring = 5 People
1 Ring = 30 People
We can avoid cutting or transplanting trees if we want to creat a substance-identified space in the dence woods -- we can make use of open space, interspace among trees and water to provide a belt-shaped landscape architecture flowing along the river bank which is green and of environmental protection.

SHAPE
The museum is located in a one-side-curve base where the orientation is of a certain rotation compared with the general direction. So the special terrain really have something to do with the plan generation.
Considering the exact floor height, rough mass is put into the whole environment to cast a preview for structure and functional segments.
Modify the space which is difficult to use into easily identifiable geometry to purify the plan. And split the main building into two parts to take the advantage of landscape, ventilation, courtyard and other factors.
There is a contradict between the static shape and dynamic terrain, so I bring some design factors which is dynamic but harmony and integrity.

GATHERING ATMOSPHERE
The base located next to the southern gate is close to the main landscape of the campus - Li Ren Lake. In order to maximum the penetration level of outdoor landscape, a partial cantilevered sturcture, undertaking both viewing and traffic functions, is created.
The history Museum has three entries -- visitor entrance, staff entrance and warehouse entrance. The visitor entrance has an intimate connection with the campus flow line and a clear separation of the warehouse entrance.
As geothermal heat source beneath the site is plentiful, the history museum use geothermal heat pump to control indoor temperature. Compared with traditional ones, the cone-like structure can work effectively and even maintain the building when facing earthquake.
We can draw a conclusion, besides exhibition performances, the history museum should be an ideal place for exchange and academic communication.
