Located at the foot of Mount Cangma, the Parent-Child Centre is an important design practise with the comprehension and application of “Duck Architecture" for the masses. This kind of building is good interpretation of its being with no more elaboration, especially among children. Architects brought the original intention and term “flying carpet” to refer to the Parent-Child Centre. A rolled-up floor, as a taking off carpet, is raised up to form the roof. Between the carpet and the ground are adhesive strings, which severs as forest facade.
The rooftop has around 1,000㎡ with partially accessible. Architects adopted viscose stone on rolled-up surface, which is suitable for consistency. The lucidity roof is composed of double-curved roof and double-surface ceiling, with variable-section arc beams and horizontal support in the middle. Equipments and pipelines are laid within the space between beams. Architects set 1.5cm line-type drainage ditch alone the double-surface contour height, and siphon at the lowest part. Stainless steel plate and adhesive stone are used for covers of drains and siphon, to make them visually invisible.
There are four independent functional programs: a multi-use hall, two theaters, a staircase, and a cafe hidden under the large roof. The gaps between spaces form the hall and aisles. Three sides of the building are glass curtain walls, adding a water drop-shaped transparent yard, which brings light into the building efficiently. Besides, it's unobvious to see single structural pillar in the interior, since architects used three ways to achieve invisibility, which are firstly hiding major columns within interior wall; then hiding under the eaves of decorative columns; and lastly, hiding curtain wall columns with a special cross-section design.
In 2021, Atour Camp were open at outdoor venue of the building, the Flying Carpet had created itself a diverse functioned wonderland.
