The facade design adopts parameterized and pixelated techniques to perform modern interpretation of the Fuchun Mountain Residence, completing a process from abstract to concrete, and from concrete to express abstract.
▲Unit shutter structure
On the surface, the design uses louvers as unit modules, which rotate at different angles through over 37000 unit modules.
