Entry Description

The design has reimagined the modern residence concept in the urban space by drawing inspiration from the traditional spatial order of city, fang (or ward), and courtyard. This spatial organization subtly suggests the order of the historical site. Additionally, the design pays homage to the roof language of the Tang Dynasty and employs a strategy of discreet integration into the urban environment. It seeks to reestablish the relationship between the heritage museum, the visitor center, and the historical area, ensuring a harmonious coexistence.
