The ACDC (Anji Creative & Design Center) is located in Xilong Village, Anji County, Zhejiang Province, a famous white tea producing area in China. Shanghai AIJIA has launched a Tea-&-Travel development project named “Anjihood”, and seeks to push forward the modernization of countryside in China through design and creativity, with the establishment of the ACDC.
The design of the ACDC adopts a more flexible approach, with spaces of different sizes distributed across the undulating site and connected with corridors. Thus the two groups of collective space for public service, co-working, innovation lab, library and cafe can accommodate diverse programs, while sharing various themed activities.
The undulating tea fields are an artificial abstraction of the natural terrain, implying the patterns of tea cultivation, which is also followed by the architecture. Its horizontally orthogonal spatial system seems to be an extension of the city, but vertically it adds undulation to the already undulating terrain. This both guarantees the function of the space, and indicates the characteristics of the original terrain. The roof is covered with plants, as a reconstruction of the countryside landform. Together with the winding tea fields, they form a new landscape on this land, which is not just visual. While the building addresses the traditional layout of corridor-courtyard, it also makes the space topographic. Regardless of the building’s opening hours, people can roam around freely on the lifted corridors of the courtyard, and remain among the fields. Thus the architecture becomes an extension of the countryside.
