Article source: The Architectural and Urban Planning Design & Research Institute Co.Ltd. of Huazhong University of Science and Technology Yuntai Mountain is covered with cloud and fog, which is well arranged and leaving a deep impression on people. The design takes the form of mountains as an intention, and uses a Chinese character “山”,which means mountain in English, as a metaphor of architecture, emphasizing the sense of place.

To avoid damaging the environment, “recycled concrete”, which is made up with waste concrete as aggregate,is used as external skin, to saves resources and protects our environment. Recycled concrete maintains the hue of dark red and blue-gray rocks in the mountains, making the museum blend into the cascading mountains.

To avoid obstruction, the design is overhead in the middle part of the ground floor to manufactured a line of sight corridor in the scenic area. In order to relieve the pressure of building, the building is broken into several small-scale blocks.

We don’t want the building to be a “guy” which is survived relying on mechanical equipments. Therefore, chimney effect is used to create a passive pull-out cavity, partly relieving the contradiction between the natural ventilation of the exhibition space and the display atmosphere.
