之间建筑ArCONNECT

Based in Dali, 之间建筑ArCONNECT grounds cultural and ceremonial structures against mountain backdrops using dark, twisting roof geometries set over heavy stone arches and column-free structural glass. It serves as a clear precedent when detailing accessible roof-ridge staircases, aligning tree oculi with precise ground-plane rings, or specifying dynamic iridescent cladding for rural hospitality and pavilion projects.

项目03蓝续Dali-Blue扎染艺术馆

大理

An architectural precedent for merging lightweight glass-and-steel extensions with traditional white-walled vernacular buildings around an integrated courtyard.

What we like about this project
Slanted upper glass plane supported entirely by slender exterior tie rods rather than internal columns.

Geometry
Two-story orthogonal building featuring a pronounced sloped glass facade held by exposed exterior steel trusses and tension rods.
Facade system
Point-fixed or mullion-supported structural glass facade braced by external steel tension struts.
Structural guess
Steel truss and tie-rod framing supporting glazed exterior walls with interior concrete or masonry partitions.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled entry porch and courtyard with two-story vertical enclosure.
Lighting
Bright direct daylight reflecting off glass and metal surfaces, casting crisp shadows.
Atmosphere
Open, airy, and luminous with a blend of industrial structure and organic greenery.
Environmental context
Rural or village edge with native planting and surrounding vernacular context.
Spatial experience
Transition from open stone-paved public square through a lightweight sheltered porch into a verdant interior courtyard.
Composition rhythm
Vertical rhythm of structural mullions and tension struts matching the rhythm of courtyard trees.
