Designed by dom arquitectura, the masterplan in Huizhou, China focuses on the traditional Chinese cultural concepts and social issues. Their response was to group housing towers in two lines, with an staggered arrangement, forming a double perimeter line and leaving a large green space in the site centre. The concentration of a big green space will enhance the CO2 consumption and improve the users air quality. More images and architects’ description after the break.
To get started on the project, we wanted to get into the foundation of Chinese culture and its visual universe. We studied different concepts: the horizontal lines power of traditional architecture, its temples, the lattices textures, which controlled the privacy formerly. And also the energy flow concepts, like the feng shui, or social issues such as the dragon mythological figure.
