An exterior twilight view of a curved curtain wall by Daipu Architects, demonstrating how transparency and interior illumination interact with a ground-level reflecting pool.
- What we like about this project
- The roof slab slopes gently upward toward the background, subtly shifting the building profile against the sky.

- Geometry
- Long curved curtain wall follows the radius of a ground-level reflecting pool, intersected by a sloping roofline.
- Facade system
- Full-height structural glass curtain wall with slim metallic mullions.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with cantilevered roof slab and suspended or point-fixed glazing elements.
- Spatial scale
- Two-story curved pavilion scale, comfortable for pedestrian circulation along the pool perimeter.
- Lighting
- Twilight illumination; warm interior light glows through frosted or translucent glazing, reflecting on the dark surface of the pool.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and luminous, defined by the contrast between dark water and warm glowing interior volumes.
- Environmental context
- Urban or institutional courtyard setting at dusk under a clear blue sky with a visible crescent moon.
- Spatial experience
- Approaching along the curved exterior walkway juxtaposes the calm water edge with the glowing vertical transparency of the interior.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical mullions sweep in a steady radial curve, countered by the long horizontal line of the roof parapet.
