SANXINGDUI FEASIBILITY STUDY
Developed as a feasibility study to test a brief prior to announcing a larger international competition, Suhuha worked with Tsinghua Design Institute to assist one of our long-standing clients in understanding certain possibilities about the Sanxingdui site and analyse their ambitions on how cultural identity should be an important aspect of a new building.
This proposal looked to create a powerful building that sits surrounded by water amongst the lushness of Sichuan forest. It's scale is kept to a minimum by placing much of the accommodation underground but allows for a strong relationship on each floor above to the natural world.
Small external spaces open to the sky as courtyards which give natural light to the lower spaces as well as providing variation of character related to the historic importance of the Sanxingdui Masks and civilisation.
