The entrance vestibule takes the pine batten with a section of as the basic unit to construct the space. The pine battens are stacked repeatedly in two mutually perpendicular directions to form a layer upon layer screen facing the entrance. In this way, the wood theme of the vestibule space is defined by the pine screen.
The complex within the site has been abandoned for many years. To the north is a horseshoe-shaped warehouse building, and to the south are side-by-side dilapidated factories. Although they have long lost their original functions, they have formed a urban theme under this geographical location.
The structure of the ribbon, like the shape of water ripples, flows into the distance. On the inside of the corrugated skeleton are petal-like secondary structural modules that hang translucent membrane materials. The transparency of membrane material is gradually changing from the edge of the roof to the center on the overall layout. Different softness of light and shadow filtered by membrane materials with different transparent properties dance in the courtyard.
