A brief announcement before we move on to the project. GORK is developing in various architectural directions, and the team is periodically joined by new personalities. This time, we have strengthened the magazine development block. Previously, I experimented with new authors on the channel, which turned out to be quite successful. One of the tasks this time will be to establish a systematic content release. And potentially publications from the second admin 🙂 I’ll keep you posted!
Back to Chengdu: a city generating real AI projects. Before us is yet another interpretation of a museum complex, this time a space dedicated to the culture and production process of traditional Sichuan sauces! It is located amidst fields, bamboo groves, and scattered farmhouses, serving as a center for the irrigation system. In plan, it resembles two sun visors worn on the head. By the way, I have seen many women in similar ones at markets in China.
The building evokes mixed feelings: on one hand, it is softly adapted to the natural environment, while on the other, it looks like a spaceship that has landed in the middle of a field. The effect is similar to the radio telescope in Kalyazin, where, while walking through the pines, you suddenly find something resembling an object from Star Wars before your eyes. The key spaces are located underground, and the layout successfully forms natural light wells. Here are also submerged tiers that replicate the traditional relief of rice fields and serve as a starting point for exploring composition.
