The grain oil exhibition center shines in the background of a grove of trees and houses on a rippling rice field. The original trees on the site are preserved and enclosed with the architecture to form four courtyards of different sizes. The trees and courtyards integrate with each other, creating the artistic conception of ”Place with a yard in the forest and a forest in the yard”. The classic Linpan image of "forest in the field and yard in the forest" is fully displayed in this place.
"Return" was the core architectural strategy at the beginning of the design of the exhibition center. Most of the ground floor of the architecture is suspended to return space to nature and people involved in it. The suspended design of the ground floor laid a good foundation for many later interesting designs, such as the courtyard in the field, the aerial courtyard, the entrance corridor bridge, the roof joyride..., etc.
For the continuation of the original image of western Sichuan Lin Pan courtyard space, the main body is broken up into five smaller and independent space scattered in the site, the original trees surrounded and five construction yard of various forms, even the suspended idea won several aerial three-dimensional courtyard first up, the ground split out clever into four yard into nine, We introduce fields, paddy fields, planting pools, trees and other elements into the courtyard, and different elevations and shapes of the courtyard create different spatial experiences.
The five independent spaces are connected together by a ramp and the external corridor. The external walls close to the ramp and the corridor are solid, while the external elements where the trees and rice fields can be seen are full floor-to-ceiling glass, forming a combination space with solid inside and void outside, cadenced, moving, private and independent. Many public buildings in rural areas are left idle and abandoned due to various management problems in the later stage. In the design of the exhibition center, we pre-planned the possibility of more functions, operation and separation, so as to ensure that it can thrive after birth and be loved and enjoyed by everyone.
Green tiles, white walls, wood, long eaves and patio are the most common elements of western Sichuan folk dwellings. We combine the modern elements of curved sloping roof and full floor-to-ceiling glass to create an open, transparent, light and free, simple and elegant, pastoral poetic place.
