Deep in the memory of Chengdu's small courtyard, leisure time, peace and art; "there is a garden in the house, a house in the garden, a courtyard in the house, a tree in the courtyard, a sky in the tree, a moon in the sky" The leisurely and elegant courtyard in Lin Yutang's writing, makes the heart yearn for it~ The design is based on the life of traditional courtyard houses, and the local elements such as "water", "bamboo", "bricks" and "stones" are blended with the characteristics of the project; through the urban heritage of spiritual mountains and beautiful water, it creates the memory of "old wells and bamboos reflecting green lotuses, and small bricks and tiles producing blue smoke". The challenges we face in creating the space: First, the main entrance of the exhibition area is located in the middle of the municipal road, which is too long from the corner line? Secondly, the front basement of the exhibition area is limited in scope and the space scale is long and narrow? Thirdly, the scale of the back field of the exhibition area is narrow? At first sight, the mirror water and scenic wall invite light and shadow, rocks and plunging water, and the graceful welcoming pine imitates the function of the wall, creating a sense of extravagant elegance and seclusion; the axis paving and lamps make the space contain a unique culture of ritual and spatial awareness, strengthening the space signification, guiding you and me in the city, thus starting a journey by the shadow of the moon and the clear spring. At first sight, the mirror water and scenic wall invite light and shadow, rocks and plunging water, and the graceful welcoming pine imitates the function of the wall, creating a sense of extravagant elegance and seclusion; the axis paving and lamps make the space contain a unique culture of ritual and spatial awareness, strengthening the space signification, guiding you and me in the city, thus starting a journey by the shadow of the moon and the clear spring. Surrounded by hidden walls, green bricks and blue water corridors, daylight and tree shadows splash inspiration here, making the space full of interest and forming a unique visual memory and spatial experience; green rhythm waving yarn in front of your eyes, you walk past the corridor, you become a unique landscape on the other side to become a warm spring breeze in time. Walk through the light and shadow corridor, continue walking along the garden road, the water is rippling, the trees are hovering, in which you can find a small corner to sit, half a volume of leisurely books and a pot of hot tea, feel the sunlight, shadows, water scenery reflecting each other, experience the long years in the clouds and wind.
