MELTING YARDS WANGFUJING BUSINESS CONFERENCE CENTER
Wangfujing is an active commercial district in Beijing, with department stores and five-star hotels. At the same time, there locates many traditional alleyways and yards that need to be protected. The theme for this studio is to design a Business Conference Center in the complex environment. I explore strategies to let the harmoniously building co-exist with architecture of different sizes. Thus, small spaces of same dimension as alleyways and small yards are created through the seven huge buildings. Users could gain scenes of the city, and they could feel the building is melting into the city. The inclined columns play a significant part in space forming. At the same time, glass model provides the design with transparent portrait. It is another way of interpreting melting.
