Visitor Center of Longquan Mountain, Chengdu, China
Located in the Longquan Mountain, 40km far from Chengdu city, the visitor center plays a mixed role, not only serving tourists but also local villagers by providing public spaces. The lower volume is elevated, connecting linearly in series community offices, meeting rooms and a reception room, to form an entrance keeping the continuity between the inner terraced square and the outer area with the level of the road. People get in below the elevated volume and arrive at the terraced square covered by wood and greenery, where the sense of place created promotes the imitate feeling for visitors and residents to the building.
