RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The materials of "rammed earth" and "clay plaster" used in the design, as well as the thermal insulation and insulation of the building roof and other decorative technologies, giving us a chance to get in touch with the old craftsmen who are good at these skills, and we also have more understanding and learning about the application of traditional Chinese architecture and materials.
CHALLENGE: The weather of the scenic spot was variable, much of the conditions were rainy day, so that in the early site survey and acquisition of data, it was very difficult for us to do the research. As the owner hopes to be able to complete the construction in a short time to open for business, and the situation was the design area covering nearly 5000 square meters of the building and interior space, which need more than one month to complete the design work, the work intensity was very high.
